MeetMrs. Jernigan
Though this year will be my 16th employed at West Ottawa Public Schools, it will officially be my 28th as a Panther. As a child, my family moved to West Ottawa in the 6th grade and I am a PROUD graduate of the class of 1998. Fast forward to now; my own family lives here and both my daughters will graduate from W.O. as well. I attended Michigan State University and earned a bachelors degree in Mathematics, with minor in Spanish. After college, my husband and I came back to Holland where, for the past 15 years, I served as a math teacher and Assistant Principal at West Ottawa High School. I bleed Black and White, and am a proud Panther for Life. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching MSU football and basketball, and cooking with my daughters. I am excited to be a part of the Lakeshore Elementary team and to continue their mission of excellence for Every Student, Every Day.
