Hello Everyone, 

My name is Jessica Pettis and I currently work at Hillcrest School in the Life Skills Unit.  I am in charge of the Life Skills Work-Study Program at our Equestrian Center.  Since my passions are teaching and horses, it is the perfect position!  This is my fifth year as a special education teacher in Marion County.  My education includes a Masters in Special Education with a focus in Autism Spectrum Disorders.  At the moment, I am working towards my second masters degree, a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership with a Specialization in School Administration K-12.  In 2007 I was elected as Hillcrest Novice Educator of The Year.  I currently live in Marion County with my husband and son, our dog and four chickens. 

I look forward to working with you and your student this school year, 

-Mrs. Pettis
