BHS welcomes MS. Mary Jagoe as the new district Special Education Director.

Ms. Jagoe holds a M.Ed., is a Lamar University alumnus, and is currently working toward her Educational Diagnostician certification.

She has 15 years of experience working in Special Education. She worked in the Beaumont ISD and West Orange Cove CCISD. She was a Special Education Supervisor for 6 years, managing the Resource and Inclusion program for 13 campuses in Beaumont. She has also coached for the Special Olympics and was a school sponsor for the “Meet in the Middle” and “Erase the R Word” programs.

She grew up in Southeast Texas and was a drum major in high school. Her hobbies and interests outside of work include spending quality time with her family, spoiling her granddaughter, fishing, making jewelry, Bible study, and trips to the beach.

She says that she is looking forward to working with all stakeholders in building and maintaining an exceptional Special Education program at Bob Hope School.

She loves the quote from Rita Pierson, Educator: “Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.”

Let’s all welcome Ms. Jagoe into the BHS family!
