JTC Academy’s Executive Leadership Team is composed of highly qualified, experienced, and mission-driven professionals who bring a deep commitment to education, mental health, and trauma-informed care. Their leadership is grounded in expertise, collaboration, and an unwavering dedication to student success.

Clinical & Therapeutic Services

JTC Academy offers a full range of clinical and therapeutic services to support students’ emotional well-being and behavioral growth. Our licensed counselors, social workers, and therapists work hand-in-hand with teachers and families to create individualized support plans that promote healing, resilience, and long-term success—both in and out of the classroom.

Meet our Teachers 

At JTC Academy, our teachers are not only highly trained to deliver high-quality instruction—they do so through a trauma-informed lens, ensuring that both academic and emotional needs are met with care, compassion, and expertise.

Meet our Paraprofessionals

Paraprofessionals at JTC Academy play a vital role in supporting students with complex behavioral and emotional needs by providing consistent, trauma-informed assistance throughout the school day. Working under the direction of licensed educators and clinicians, they help implement individualized academic and behavioral plans to promote student growth, safety, and success.

Meet our School Operations & Support Team

Our School Operations & Support Team plays a vital role in maintaining the structure, safety, and smooth day-to-day functioning of JTC Academy. This team is responsible for ensuring that students transition safely and efficiently between classes, that hallways and shared spaces are calm and supportive, and that every moment of the school day is maximized for safety, connection, and learning.
