Jeremy Jones

Chief Executive Officer

Jeremy is working tenaciously to ensure that ALL students have the opportunity to attend world-class schools. For the last two decades, Jeremy has worked in the classroom as a middle school math teacher, served as a principal of an innovative district-charter partnership school, been a school system founder and leader, and worked in state policy to help create the conditions for students from all backgrounds to thrive. Jeremy came to School Board School after successfully turning around the EAGLE College Prep Schools in Phoenix, Arizona as its Executive Director. Prior to that, Jeremy was the Executive Director for the Maine Charter School Commission, a Partner at The Learning Accelerator, and the Founding Executive Director of the Democracy Prep Schools in San Antonio, Texas.

For Jeremy, this work is personal. Growing up in a single-parent family, he found mentorship and guidance in his male teachers and coaches. As he grew older, he began to understand how our school systems were created to perpetuate systems of inequality, and dedicated his career to unraveling antiquated and oppressive structures for liberatory systems that can help all students flourish. Being a former school board President, Jeremy understands the power of strong governance, community engagement, and systems change.

Jeremy is originally from Austin, Texas. He earned his Bachelor’s degree at Texas A&M University and a law degree from the University of Arizona. Jeremy was a 2005 Teach For America New Orleans Corps Member. He is a dad and an avid trail runner.
