Elementary Teacher of the Year!

Congratulations to Southeastern's Elementary Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Jessie Southwell! 

Mrs. Southwell graduated from the University fo Mobile with her degree in Early Childhood Education. She has been teaching Pre-K for almost 4 years and has truly found her calling. While getting her degree, she always thought she would teach older grades, but when she step foot into her Pre-K classroom for the first time, she knew she could never leave. Mrs. Southwell loves how curious and eager to learn 4-5 year old's are and especially loves their crazy amounts of energy and bluntness.

“Jessie Southwell is a vibrant force of enthusiasm and joy at Southeastern Elementary School. She has a boundless smile and an infectious laugh that creates an environment where children feel safe, cherished, and inspired to explore their world. A natural facilitator, she fosters creativity, curiosity, and collaboration, turning every moment into a chance for learning and wonder. Jessie’s dedication to nurturing tiny humans is matched only by her belief in their boundless potential, making her a treasured figure in the lives of her students, their families and Southeastern School.” - Mrs. Kristie Panacopolous
