Jamaica Elementary School

We are very excited to announce our 2025 Teacher of the Year, Mr. White! Mr. White is the epitome of honesty and integrity, always leading by example in both the classroom and beyond. His unwavering commitment to doing what’s right is reflected in his interactions with students, colleagues, and the wider school community. Beyond his role as a teacher, he is a caring and compassionate individual who truly invests in the well-being of his students. Whether he’s guiding them through a lesson, offering encouragement after school, coaching or cheering them on at their sports games or any extracurriculars, you can always count on Mr. White to be there. He is very active with Grace Arts and if he isn't on stage himself, you can find him running the lights or in the audience. His presence on campus is immeasurable—every student in every grade level knows Mr. White. He gets Senior Graduation Announcements from past students and is often referred to as an influential person in Senior's school careers. His kindness and dedication create an environment where students feel valued and supported. Mr. White, we truly appreciate you and congratulate you on this long overdue achievement!
