Growing Your DOT

Green Dot Public Schools TN believes in acknowledging talented individuals and rewarding their efforts with praise and promotion. Our goal as an organization is to provide every opportunity for Green Dot employees to grow their DOT. We are excited to name Jasmine Jackson the new Director of Academics beginning July 1, 2022. Jasmine is no stranger to GDPST, serving as a teacher, teacher leader, and instructional coach and we can’t wait to move the academic mission forward with her leading the way.

Meet Jasmine:
