My name is Jon Jeans. I am the new Principal at Stephenson, moving from Rieke after 6 years there as Principal. This will be my 34th year as an educator. I believe in being a catalyst for all children to reach their potential. I believe in schools being a joyful place where all members of the community feel welcomed, seen and heard, and strive to excel. I have a wife, way TOO MANY animals (feel free to ask!), and 2 children, a daughter at Jackson MS and a son at Ida B Wells. In addition, I am a singer-songwriter and leader of the rock n roll band Sproose (check us on Spotify etc) who play some all age shows during the year. I live nearby, and when wearing my hat around the neighborhood, I am Mr. Jeans your neighborhood Principal.
