Jackie Caughey, 4th grade teacher and newly engaged :)
Hello! My name is Jackie Caughey and I am a second year teacher here at Pioneer Elementary. I teach fourth grade and just love the age of those students. They amaze me with their resilience, patience, work ethic, kind hearts and humor each day. Sometimes I think we could all learn a thing or two from a nine or ten year old! I am a graduate of Brainerd High School and Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. While in college, I completed a minor in art with my education degree and really enjoy sharing that passion with my students. In my spare time I love spending time with family and friends, painting, being outdoors, cruising Pinterest for new classroom ideas, watching movies, and most recently- the beginning stages of planning my wedding!
At the end of college, I started looking forward to being back in the surrounding area of my hometown of Brainerd. I knew Pierz to be an awesome, caring community and boy, has my admiration grown for this place in the past year since starting here! The community itself has been so inclusive and welcoming. I also really can’t say enough about the staff here in the district. As a new teacher, I feel extremely lucky to work every day alongside such wonderful, genuine people. I have really felt blessed to have some great mentors here as I start my career. You know you work in an awesome place when you look forward to going to work each morning. Thank you, Pierz Community and School District Staff!
