Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Jackson, and I’m excited to be your College and Career Readiness Coach this year. I’m passionate about helping students discover their potential and equipping them with the skills they need for success, both in the classroom and beyond.
My name is Taleah D. Jackson, Ed.S., and I am honored to serve as the College and Career Readiness Coach at McDonough High School. I am a passionate and dedicated educator with over five years of experience in teaching, mentoring, and instructional leadership. My journey in education has been grounded in a deep commitment to student success, equity, and empowering every learner to realize their full potential.
In my new role, I support students in navigating their academic and career pathways by providing guidance on college planning, career exploration, and postsecondary transitions. I collaborate with teachers, counselors, and families to ensure students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to make informed decisions about their future.
Prior to this position, I served as a Healthcare Science Teacher and HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) Advisor, where I led students in building industry-aligned skills, leadership development, and civic engagement. These experiences continue to inform my work in preparing students for life beyond high school.
I hold a Specialist in Education and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Georgia, along with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Georgia Southern University.
I’m excited to grow with you and help our Warhawks soar toward excellence!
