Welcome to Jack C. Jordan Middle School. My name is Shannon Zavala, and I am the Associate Principal at Jordan.
I am a proud Texas A&M Aggie with a degree in Biomedical Science, but my love of students and teaching led me to get a Masters in Education Leadership so that I can lead teachers who love to teach kids as much as I do. My entire educational career has been at the middle school level, and I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade science, math, and ELA. I coached for five years, and I was a Gifted and Talented Specialist. I believe that all kids have the ability to learn and grow each and every day. I strive to create a positive experience of high quality learning for our Jaguars by building partnerships with our families and community so that they have a strong start to their teen and young adult lives.
