Let’s welcome Jennifer Massie to the Zebra family in today’s New Staff Feature!
Ms. Massie is joining Claremont Elementary as a Special Education Teacher. She holds a Bachelor of Science from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX, and a Master’s in Education from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX.
When asked why she chose this path, she shared, “I teach to celebrate abilities, not just disabilities. I like the strong sense of community and the opportunity to make a difference in a small town setting with familiar faces. I feel CPS values both academics and personal development for every student.”
Ms. Massie enjoys
🎬: Breakfast Club
🍟: Chips
🍫: Anything chocolate
🥤: Coke Zero
🌈: Blue or Green
📍: Cruises
🏀: Oklahoma State
In her free time, she enjoys walking her dogs, spending time with family, and having coffee with friends. She is a proud mom to a daughter at Texas A&M and a son at Oklahoma State University. Her family also includes two Australian shepherds (one of which is her son’s).
Her career highlights include serving as Lead Teacher in Special Education at her previous district, writing a small grant for her students to create and sell homemade soap, and leading volunteer projects such as working at local animal shelters, elementary campus clean-ups, and church service activities. She has also been nominated for Teacher of the Year three times.
Fun fact: Ms. Massie once went skydiving and enjoyed it so much she briefly considered becoming an instructor—until her priorities shifted after starting a family.
