Mrs. Jide Bell

Mabuhay! My name is  Mrs. Jide Bell. I was born and raised in the beautiful islands of the Philippines. I graduated from Silliman University, Philippines majoring in Speech and Theatre Arts. I am a wife, and a mother of an energetic 1st grader and a bouncy 2-month old.

This is my 11th year in education (7th year at McNair JH). I am the Assistant Theatre Director. I teach Theatre 1 & 6, Theatre Pals, and Career & College Exploration. I am the Pokemon Club sponsor, and the AAPI Committee Co-Chair.

I enjoy helping students unleash their potential as they gain confidence in themselves as thespians and leaders. I take pleasure in making spaces and giving time for students to have a venue to learn, explore, create, lead, and nurture creativity. Additionally, I am positive that our Eagles will have wondrous flights this school year, 2025 - 2026.

See you in the classroom and halls of McNair Junior High!
