Jamie F. Staub would describe herself as a social studies educator. She received her under graduate degree from Louisiana State University and her Masters in Education from the University of New Orleans. She is currently a social studies instructor at Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies. Prior to Haynes, she taught for many years at Grace King High School and L.W. Higgins High School. She has been teaching school for 22 years.
What makes Staub stand out from the crowd, is not only her dedication to her students in the classroom, but a myriad of educational activities too numerous to list in their entirety here. Some of those activities include traveling to Washington D.C. fourteen times with her students with the Close Up Program, leading her students to win the nationally recognized mock congressional hearing competition, We the People State Championship ten times and making over forty presentations on such subjects as “Representative Democracy in America” and “Appreciating Legislatures”.
In Staub’s own words, “Each and every day I get to touch the lives of young people and over the years I have been able to reach out to hundreds of youth.” She is indeed an educator and worthy of the Outstanding Civics Teacher of the Year Award.
