Please help us welcome our new Assistant Principal to the Iotla Valley Family!
Hello Iotla Valley Family! My name is Paula Jackson, and I am honored and excited to serve as your new Assistant Principal! I bring 26 years of experience in public education and throughout my career, I have remained deeply passionate about supporting student growth and helping every child reach their fullest potential. I began my career with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and returned to Sylva two years ago, where I have been serving as an assistant principal in Jackson County. Joining the Iotla Valley family is truly one of the most exciting and meaningful moments of my professional journey. Outside of school, I am blessed with a wonderful husband and am a proud mother of two. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, cooking, watching movies, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. I strongly believe in educating the whole child and value the partnership between educators, families, and staff in creating a positive and successful learning environment. I look forward to working alongside this amazing community as we inspire, support, and achieve greatness together.
I am excited to meet each of you and begin this new school year focused on “Inspiring Others Through Leadership Actions.”
