Hello:
My name is Jamie LaCourse, and I am happy to be your teacher this year. I am originally from Massachusetts. I honorably served in the United States Air Force. I have owned my own business. I have worked from entry level positions through administrative roles, and everything in between. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, and my Master's of Science Degree in Management and Organizational Behavior. I have been married for 28 years, and have 3 sons. I am entering my 11th year of teaching at The Villages High School. I am a believer that HARD WORK pays off. The Algebra 1 students will gain confidence in their math skills as they see success with numbers, variables and graphs. The Computer Science Discoveries students will be covering topics such as problem solving, programming, physical computing, user centered design, and data, while inspiring students as they build their own websites, apps, animations, games, and physical computing systems. I am looking forward to an exciting year, and look forward to getting to know the students and parents better as the year progresses.
