Mrs. Sabrina Hall

Mrs. Hall transitioned from corporate America to the amazing world of teaching in 2008. Mrs. Hall taught Algebra I and Geometry at Andrew Jackson High School. During her sixth year of teaching, Mrs. Hall decided to make a difference at a larger scale. She moved into school leadership by serving as an Assistant Principal in both middle and high school. Mrs. Hall had the pleasure of leading at William M. Raines High School, Southside Middle School, and Jefferson Davis Middle School.

A few of Mrs. Hall’s most notable professional accomplishments include:

Recognition as a Top 5 Finalist for the Duval County 2015 Teacher of the Year.

Partnering with other educators to create amazing memories for students through events like:

Math Green Parties (celebration of math growth),

A Taste of Raines (a student showcase of visual and performing art talent),

Schoolwide Cultural Studies Lessons (valuing and appreciating other cultures)

Collaborating with the University of Florida and Study Edge to launch Algebra Nation, a math resource, designed to increase student pass rate on the state’s Algebra I End of Course Exam (a graduation requirement).

Consistently attaining notable student growth on state assessments, proving that all children can learn and show significant growth, despite having a label of “level 1 or non-proficient”.

When Mrs. Hall is not working with tons of amazing people, she is enjoying time with her family, reading, or completing logic and crossword puzzles.
