My name is Jessica Young. I am a Guidance Counselor, a parent, and an advocate for public education. 

I am running for school board because I am an educator, a parent, a community member and a stakeholder in the future of the Hamilton Township School district. I have been an Elementary school counselor since September of 2009, and my educational experience gives me an edge because I know what schools look like on the inside, if you will. I have knowledge of the education system and the obstacles educators face. I understand the dynamics of the classroom, CST (Child Study Team), HIB (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying), 504 plans and IEPs, Special Education, as well as Curriculum and Instruction. . Discussion of details and knowledge are very different when coming from the perspective of experience.

My knowledge and experience make me well-qualified to work as part of a team that develops solutions to Hamilton's current strategic challenges.​

I look forward to meeting you and serving the needs of Hamilton's community.
