Jackson, TENNESSEE – When the Bruins return to campus this fall, they will return to a new familiar face at the helm of The Camille & Ralph Jones Academic Center.
USJ Class of 2003 graduate, Mrs. Lindsay Brady, has joined the USJ administrative team as the new Director of the Jones Academic Center (JAC).
The JAC began serving USJ students in the fall of 2018. The Center has been dedicated to developing and implementing a multi-tiered system of academic support services for USJ students and serves between 110-120 students each year.
The services managed and/or provided by the JAC include, but are not limited to: student referral intake and processing, academic screenings, academic consultations, structured literacy intervention classes, and a cross-divisional classroom accommodations management system.
Outgoing Director Mrs. Christy Glenn shared, ”I would like to thank Ralph and Camille Jones for this amazing opportunity to serve. I am grateful to the parents, directors, and teachers with whom I have worked alongside these past four years.
“Learning alongside my students and serving their families has truly been the highlight of my work at USJ.”
Mrs. Brady joins USJ after serving over 15 years in both the Madison County and Gibson County school systems, where her career developed from middle school mathematics teacher to assistant principal.
While in administration, Lindsay developed a passion for working with students with learning differences. She became heavily involved in the intervention programs offered at her school with respect to assessing, placement decisions and scheduling.
Longing for more personal interaction with her students, Lindsay stepped away from her administrative role in 2019 and returned to the classroom, where she taught fifth grade Mathematics and facilitated multi-tiered intervention groups.
