New HS resource room teacher is PHS alum


by Shelby Strang

Ms. Jackie Barrett is the new high school resource room teacher at Pittsford High School, taking over from Mrs. Lovell, who retired. She actually grew up around here and also graduated from Pittsford High School in 1994.

Ms. Barrett has taught for some time and isn’t new to the classroom, but it’s always an adjustment to a new room. She has also taught at Wapakon School in Ohio and at Madison schools in Adrian. This school differs from her other schools that she has taught at because Pittsford is smaller, more rural, and teachers and students have closer relationships. She really likes the nice students and feels very welcomed here.

Ms. Barrett is a graduate from here so she really loves the school and the community. That’s why she chose Pittsford rather than a different school. Though there’s always an adjustment, things here are progressing nicely. “So far so good!” said Ms. Barrett. So next time you see Ms. Barrett make sure to say hi and make her feel welcomed here at Pittsford!
