Mrs. Lu Ann Jacobs
PRINCIPAL
Dear Wilson Focus Staff and Families:
It is my pleasure to introduce myself as principal of Wilson Focus Elementary School. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Wilson Focus school community and to be able to support the students and the families of our school. I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
My belief that students are at the center of all school-related decisions will guide our work together. I am excited to unite my experience, my openness to learn, and my child-centered approach to supporting our students and staff. I have also been a classroom teacher, a literacy coach, summer school principal, and an elementary supervisor. I grew up in Omaha and graduated from the Omaha Public Schools. I am eager to focus on quality instruction in every classroom, supporting the high-performing teachers, maintaining the highest expectations, and helping all students succeed.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, a Master of Science Degree in Educational Administration and Supervision from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and an Endorsement in English as a Second Language from Concordia University.
Our common vision of wanting Wilson Focus School to be the best school for all its students and families will guide our work. Together we will move Wilson Focus School and its students toward a strong future. Leadership, Technology, and Communication will be at the heart of what we do together.
Sincerely,
Lu Ann Jacobs
