Meet Jill Davis!
Jill is the Principal at JCDSRI and has held many important roles within the school community, including mentoring new teachers for over 15 years. She holds degrees in Psychology, Philosophy, and Social Work, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching and Education with a focus on Special Education.
