Jennifer Heidesch
Born and raised in Georgia, I earned my first bachelor's at UGA. During all four summers of my Bulldog years, I worked with rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders as a 4-H camp counselor, coaching kids through low-rope obstacle courses, zip lines and climbing walls, teaching arts and crafts, helping with outdoor recreation, creating and performing skits and dance routines. I led cheers, wiped tears, and challenged fears. Little did I know, all of these experiences would lead me to become an educator.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, I attended the John H. Loundsbury School of Education of Georgia College and State University where I discovered my true passion - teaching middle grades mathematics. It was a perfect blend of many things I enjoy. Since then, I have earned a master's in middle grades education, a specialist in curriculum and instruction, and certification to teach gifted students.
With 19 years of experience teaching middle grades math, my mission is to help students become great problem solvers and excellent citizens who are loving, helpful, appreciative, open-minded, productive, creative and resilient. My husband is also dedicated to supporting our youth as a child and adolescent therapist in Oconee County where we reside. We love this community and want to help it thrive!
