Ms. Antionette Thompson
I am in my eleventh year as an educator. I began my journey as an Inclusion Teacher in Pueblo, Colorado. I am a proud HBCU graduate of Virginia State University in Petersburg, VA where I obtained my Bachelor degree in Visual Communication Art and Design. I continued my education and obtained a Masters in Educational Management from Strayer University. I later embarked on a new journey when I decided to work with exceptional needs students. I attended Colorado State University-Pueblo and obtained my Teacher Certification. Working with exceptional needs students has been the best decision I’ve made in my life. It is truly my passion and my purpose. “That moment when my students make a connection and the light bulb sparks, is truly the greatest joy.”

Ms. Jaclyn Longson
Hello, I'm Jaclyn Longson. I graduated from East Carolina University in 2016 with a degree in Mental health and family support services. In 2016 I moved to Iowa for my first social work job. I have had experience with many different populations including those who struggle with addiction. Upon moving back to North Carolina I got involved as a Registered Behavior Technician working with children with autism. I began working with the neurodiverse population beginning in 2019. I was a TA at Ashley High School in Wilmington, NC working in the severe and profound room. I currently live at home with my husband, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. And I love what I do.
