This school year, Arrowhead High School welcomed a new Business Education teacher, Ms. Jaskolka. Last year, Ms. J taught at Oconomowoc, and it was her first year of teaching. Now she is spending her second year teaching at Arrowhead.
Ms. J didn’t follow the typical route to become a teacher. “Following a 20+ year career in Human Resources leadership, I had a desire to support high school students and prepare them for the ‘real world’ in a business/corporate environment,” Ms. J said. “After seeing many leaders who were not prepared to be leaders, I wanted to help students develop leadership skills earlier to allow them to be successful.”
In the first semester, she is teaching Intro to Business, Yearbook, and Personal Finance. In the second semester, she is teaching Marketing & Business, Sales & Promotions, and Yearbook.
“The students are truly fantastic; I am so impressed with their ambition and drive to succeed, as well as how respectful most students are to teachers,” Ms. J said. “I am also grateful for the leadership of our principal/associate principals as well as the supportive nature of all staff here. It truly is a great place to work!”
