Jones decided to join the School Board to contribute to the growth and success of our schools, and to be an advocate for all students to ensure they have the opportunity to thrive while receiving the quality education they deserve.

She is excited to continue to learn, grow, and see what more Brookwood can accomplish. What makes her most proud to be a part of Brookwood is the overall "family" feel!
