My name is Jordan Runnels. I graduated from SFASU in 2013 with a degree in Child and Family development. After graduation I was a nanny in Houston for two years before I came back to Lufkin. I then taught preschool while working to receive my teaching certification and I came to Herty in 2017. This will be my fourth year at Herty as a PPCD teacher. I attended kindergarten at Herty and I love getting to teach at the place that started out my education. Herty is my home!
