Keith Parrish for Jones County Board of Education
Meet Keith
As a career educator, Keith understands what it means to teach a room full of students with many different needs. He understand the limited resources teachers have not only to meet the academic needs of the students, but also to ensure their safety; physical, mental, and emotional well-being; and to help them grow into responsible stewards of the future. As a teacher of history and civics, he understands the role the government plays in nurturing today’s students into tomorrow’s adults.
It’s this passion for teaching and helping the next generation that has led Keith to provide educators and parents alike with the resources and governance they need to help students become the best they can be. He believes in the transformative power of good governance and the role the Jones County Board of Education plays in not only students’ futures, but the future of the community as a whole.
