Mrs. Marci Couture
Moving on to bigger things, Mrs. Couture was a 4th grade teacher at the lower school who is now teaching 7th and 8th grade at the high school. She has taught for a whopping 24 years, but still loves what she does. She has driven all the way from Marrero for the last 9 years to teach students at JCCS.
Fun Fact: Mrs. Couture was the captain of the Flag Team in high school.
Guess who’s back, back again… Coach Jeffrey Middleton! Mr. Middleton is our new World History, United States History, and Dual Enrollment History teacher as well as the football team's latest offensive line coach. He’s been teaching for a vast 8 years. He was in the graduating class of 2007. I know that seems like forever ago for some, since many students attend the high school were born in that year. Middleton previously taught at Ridgewood Prep, but wanted to bring it back where it all started. He came back to try and become one of the great influences he had when he attended John Curtis. Coach JT and Coach Rob made him into the wonderful man he is today.
Fun Fact: He went twelve years with perfect attendance.

Mrs. Taylor Textor
Returning student turns teacher? Some teachers may know her as the former student Taylor Textor, graduating high school in the year 2018. Yet, many 8th and 9th graders know her as Ms.Textor. She is one of the newest additions to our teacher staff. Although, she is a student herself! Ms. Textor is a certified teacher and still in school working on her Masters degree. This is inspirational to her students! Showing them that no matter what you’ve accomplished, always strive for more. Thus, a lesson that she helps teach her students inside and outside of the classroom. This is her first year teaching and she said, “I'm loving it!” It must be because Curtis is the best school around!
Fun Fact: She attended JCCS as a student for 15 years.
Enjoying his first year teaching, Mr. Hunter Fyffe is the school's latest 7th grade English and History teacher. Coming all the way from Texas to teach our students, his goal this year inside the classroom is to help his students learn as much as they can. His goal outside of the classroom is to further educate himself. Mr. Fyffe is also attending school working on his masters degree in biblical studies. His goals must be paying off! One of his students said, “This is one of my favorite classes. He’s very patient, and good at teaching.”
Fun Fact: Geometry was his favorite class in high school.
