WELCOME to the 2024-2025 School Year!!!
Hello, Everyone!!! My name is George Mitchell and I will be teaching Algebra 1 and Geometry this year. I have been a teacher of mathematics for over twenty years and have been a teacher in Madison County for over ten years. I am a Jackson native and I grew up on the northwestern end of Jackson near Clinton. I graduated from Callaway High School and received a Bachelor's of Science degree in Math Education from Jackson State University. I also hold a Master's in Science in Information Systems and currently hold three computer certifications. I am a father of three children(one daughter and two sons) and a husband.
Here at Ridgeland High, along with teaching Algebra 1 and Geometry, I am also the TSA(Technology Student Association) advisor. TSA is a national student organization where students who have a high interest and aptitude in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) can compete with other like-minded students locally, statewide, and nationally in a professional setting. There wide range and diverse set of competitions for students to showcase their skills. This past year, we saw an increase in members in our organization. This summer, we had a chance to participate at the National TSA Conference in Orlando, Florida, where qualifying students competed in several events.
A little more about me is that I enjoy listening to music (jazz, synthwave, rock), playing with puzzles(word, number, or jigsaw), and cooking( stove top and grilling). I also enjoy watching my students learn as they collaborate with others to solve problems, and I am excited to see how much they will learn and progress throughout the year.
