Mrs. WV American

Jessica  Knox is from Tyler County, West Virginia. She completed her bachelor's  degree in Elementary Education, Early Childhood Development, and Special  Education at Glenville State University, where she was also part of the  collegiate cheer team. She then went on to obtain her master's degree  in Curriculum and Instruction at Salem University. She is a dedicated  mom, wife, and fifth-grade English Language Arts and social studies  teacher for Tyler County Schools. She loves building relationships with  her students and watching them reach new heights and new goals. Jessica  is also the Young Writers Contest and Social Studies Fair coordinator  within her school. She serves on the leadership committee and works with  the Student Treasures publishing company, allowing all students in her  building to become published authors.


She and her husband, Tyler, have been married for 6 years and have two beautiful children, Addie and Asher. Outside  the classroom she enjoys working out, spending quality time with family  and friends, reading, and hiking. As your Mrs. West Virginia American,  she plans to spend her year actively engaging with her community, being a  positive role model, and promoting literacy in WV schools. As her and  her son were both born legally blind, she also hopes to become a voice  for others facing their own visual impairments, showing that no matter  the obstacle, you CAN succeed and live a beautiful life!
