Mrs. Jennifer Kess

Kess, Jennifer photo

 My name is Jennifer Kess. I will be your child's  first grade teacher  for the 2024-2025 school year.  I  graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education. This will be my fourth year teaching at Johnsonville Elementary School.  I have over ten years of professional experience as an educator and have worked with students in Preschool - sixth grade.

The Army brought my family and I to NC in 2018. I live in Harnett County with my husband and our three boys. My husband recently retired from the Army after serving over 21 years. We love spending time outside, going to the movies, exploring what NC has to offer and having family game night. Thank you for the opportunity to teach your awesome kiddos this school year.
