Meet the Principal

Greetings,

Students and parents and welcome to Natchez Early College @ Co-Lin.  As principal, let me first say that the NEC faculty and staff are truly elated to have you embark upon this exciting new journey on your educational paths. We are all thrilled to have students who want to obtain the skills necessary to be career and college ready through accelerated learning.

This year’s theme is: We are NEC, Where Excellence is the Standard. As you fill the hallways with your enthusiasm and energy for learning, please know that we strive to challenge each student to grow in his or her academic abilities, and to be college-ready by the end of four years. Here at NEC, we have great educators who spend hours planning and creating classroom activities to engage our students in learning.  We believe that all students should graduate from high school prepared for the demands of postsecondary education, meaningful careers and effective citizenship.

We value our students; you are our priority. Therefore, every decision and action must be based on the needs of our students. ALL NEC students, faculty and staff will be held to the highest standards and expectations. A safe and positive learning environment must be maintained for effective teaching and learning to occur, and a professional culture must be exhibited at every level.

So let’s get those thinking caps on and those motivational gears turning. We wish you a safe, happy, healthy and successful school year!

Joyfully and Respectfully,

Ms. Heather Jackson

Principal
