TRIBUTE TO JENNIFER JAEGER
Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Mr. President, I rise to recognize one of my State’s incredible educators, Jennifer Jaeger, who announced her retirement after almost three decades of work in the Clark County School District.
A native Nevadan, Mrs. Jaeger was born and raised in Las Vegas and began her work in education at UNLV, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and a master’s degree in middle level education and educational leadership. Since obtaining her educator license, Mrs. Jaeger has worked in four different Las Vegas schools in capacities ranging from dean of students to assistant principal to, presently, principal of the Robert O. Gibson Leadership Academy.
Mrs. Jaeger has an accomplished history in serving Tier I, Title I schools and was recognized for her excellence in fostering a positive school culture and climate. During her time as principal, Robert O. Gibson Leadership Academy received several accolades, including being named a Magnet School of Excellence for the year 2020 and one of the first Purple Star Schools of Nevada for showing “a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique needs of military-connected students.”
Through her career, Mrs. Jaeger put immense focus on the well-being of her students, including through her work with low-income families to identify kids in need of new shoes. Her work has yielded annual benefits for students and families in need through the Warm the Soles program.
I ask my colleagues to join in me celebrating the amazing work of Jennifer Jaeger. Her service to Nevada schools and the community at-
large has been exemplary and worthy of recognition.
