During my time at Appalachian State University, I was an Education Peer Ambassador. Which included giving tours of the Reich College of Education, being on student panels for events, and being a source of support and knowledge for my fellow peers within the Teacher Education Program.

This is a little about me!

My name is Mr. Jackson Payne! I am a North Carolina educator teaching High School History and Social Studies.

I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science in History and Social Studies Education.

I grew up in Dallas, NC (about 30 minutes west of Charlotte, NC), where I watched my grandmother and mom teach and educate children for my entire life. Their love for teaching inspired me and sparked my passion to become an educator and have my own classroom! I loved history, especially learning about the Government and how our country has evolved institutionally and politically. I want to teach young minds how to think about how the government works, our role as citizens, and how civics and governmental studies are crucial for them to know once they enter the world after high school.

Here is a little bit about me!

When not in the classroom, I love walking and hiking on trails in the local area! My favorite place to go hike is Cascade Falls in Boone, NC. One of my favorite memories was going to Cascade Falls with my friends, seeing the waterfall at the end of the trail, and listening to the waterfall down the mountain.

My favorite music album to listen to is Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. This album is always on repeat when I am working on creating materials and lesson plans for class. My favorite songs on the album have to be I Don't Want to Know, The Chain, and Songbird.

My favorite sport to play is volleyball! I love going to the beach and playing beach volleyball with my friends and family. I got into volleyball when I played a tournament in college with a couple of my friends, and it quickly became my favorite sport to play!
