Ï㽶ӰÊÓ

I am excited and honored to be a part of the Jackson STEM Magnet Middle School family! I started my career in the Ï㽶ӰÊÓ as a science teacher at Aiken High School. In my first year, not only did I teach Physical Science and Environmental Science, I was also the Varsity Girls’ Golf Coach. During my 9 years at Aiken High, I continued to teach a variety of science subjects and coached multiple sports, including Girls’ Golf, Varsity & JV softball and middle school basketball. 

Before becoming an educator, I obtained my Bachelor of Science - Exercise Science from USC Aiken. I was a personal trainer and owner of an aerobic kickboxing business. I obtained my second Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education – Biology from USC Aiken in 2007. I taught at Aiken High School from 2007 until 2016. I completed my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and began my profession as a High School Science Content Interventionist for Aiken County Public Schools. I have grown professionally and personally through the guidance of incredible administrators, colleagues and mentors throughout the School District.  

I am extremely excited to be Jackson STEM Magnet Middle School’s new Principal! My passion has always been to help young people grow, not only academically but socially and emotionally as well! 

Ms. Kishni Neville has been named the new assistant principal at Jackson STEM Magnet Middle School for the 2022-23 school year.

Ms. Neville's teaching career began here in 2012, and from 2016-2018 she served as the school’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Instructional Coach.
