About Me
Hello! My name is Ariana Jordan, but it's Ms. Jordan if you are one of my wonderful students :) After student teaching at North Paulding High School 2017-2018, and having a WONDERFUL experience, I am THRILLED to be back teaching full time.
Born in Montana, but moving to Savannah, Georgia at 8 years old, my heart is split between the two states. I have family in both and frequently visit those out in Montana -- hiking in Montana is a LIFE CHANGER. If it didn't get unforgivably cold up there, I'd have moved years ago. However, for the time being, Georgia is and will remain my home.
I graduated from Kennesaw State University (KSU) in May 2018 with a degree in Secondary English Education. After completing a year-long student teaching clinical experience (prior to graduation) at NPHS, I could not leave and decided to continue my professional teaching career as part of the Pack! I graduated May 2022 from KSU with my Masters of Education in Instructional Technology. Giving myself no break, I jumped right back into school and am currently working on my specialist degree in Teacher Leadership at Valdosta State University. I am set to graduate in May 2023 with that!
Want to know a little bit more about me? In my spare time, I enjoy sleeping, Starbucks, UGA (Go Dawgs!), reading, hiking, and spending time with family. Taylor Swift is a GUILTY pleasure of mine -- prepare yourself to hear her blasting in my classroom from time-to-time. I believe laughter is the best medicine -- a day without laughter is a wasted day.
