Mrs. Chakema Jackson, Assistant Principal
Greetings Rocky Ridge Family,
I am honored to serve in this capacity. My background in education spans more than 18 years, with the pleasure of leading as a middle school teacher, an elementary teacher, an interventionist, and a reading specialist. I’ve had the pleasure of serving within multiple school systems such as Mobile County, Jefferson County, Alabaster City, Pickens County, and Escambia County. My academic studies include a B.S in Biology and Chemistry, M. Ed. in Elementary Education, and an Administrative Master with Certification in Educational Leadership, Policy, and Law.
My family consists of my husband, three children, and two pets. We are huge Alabama State University Hornets fans, and we love to travel back to my hometown in Massachusetts!
