JCHS Mindset Heroes of the Month: Live to Give
At Jackson County High School, we’re proud to recognize two incredible individuals who truly embody the Live to Give mindset!
Brandon De La Torre leads by example, always giving his best in everything he does. A strong and positive influence among his peers, he encourages those around him to aim higher while staying focused on his own goals. His dedication and generous spirit make him a standout example of what it means to Live to Give.
Mrs. Simonds makes every moment count, creating a classroom where her ceramics students feel seen, valued, and inspired. From organizing ceramics exhibits to leading the annual mug sale, she goes above and beyond to provide meaningful experiences that empower her students and give their work purpose beyond the classroom.
