Jordan Benson, Principal
Dr. General Marshall Middle School
Dear General Marshall Middle School Community,
It is with humility and excitement that I write to you as the new Principal of Dr. General Marshall Middle School.
I currently serve as the Academy Director of Crockett Early College High School in Austin ISD. Previously, I served as a founding administrator and Assistant Principal at Sadler Means Young Women’s Leadership Academy. I am thrilled to be returning home to Northeast Austin.
I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from University of North Texas specializing in Human Cognition and Organizational Psychology. While pursuing a Master's degree in Human Resource Development, I discovered my calling to public school education. My role as a middle school science teacher sharpened my vision to be precision-focused on empowerment, access, equity and social emotional learning for young people. With these goals in mind, I earned my Master's degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from University of Texas at Arlington.
During my free time, I enjoy celebrating the little things in life with my boy/girl toddler twins, building community with friends and family, going on hikes, exploring new places, and learning about/engaging in equity work in the field of education.
I am eager to meet with you! I will be reaching out to learn more about how to best serve your child and family. Your voice is paramount as we work together to build Dr. General Marshall Middle School as a great beacon of light in Austin ISD.
Warmly,
Jordan Benson (she/her)

Escuela secundaria Dr. General Marshall
Estimada comunidad de la escuela secundaria Dr. General Marshall,
Es con humildad y entusiasmo que les escribo como nuevo directora de la escuela secundaria Dr. General Marshall.
Actualmente me desempeño como directora de la academia de la escuela de universidad temprana Crockett en Austin ISD. Anteriormente, me desempeñé como administradora fundadora y subdirectora de la academía de mujeres jovenes de Sadler Means. Estoy encantada de regresar a casa en el noreste de Austin.
Crecí en el área metropolitana de Dallas/Fort Worth. Recibí mi licenciatura en psicología de la Universidad del Norte de Texas, especializándome en cognición humana y psicología organizacional. Mientras cursaba una maestría en desarrollo de recursos humanos, descubrí mi llamado a la educación en las escuelas públicas. Mi papel como maestra de ciencias de la escuela secundaria agudizó mi visión para centrarme con precisión en el empoderamiento, el acceso, la equidad y el aprendizaje social y emocional para los jóvenes. Con estos objetivos en mente, obtuve mi maestría en liderazgo educativo y estudios de políticas de la Universidad de Texas en Arlington.
Durante mi tiempo libre, disfruto celebrando las pequeñas cosas de la vida con mis mellizos, construyendo una comunidad con amigos y familiares, yendo de excursión, explorando nuevos lugares y aprendiendo sobre/participando en el trabajo de equidad en el campo de la educación.
¡Estoy ansiosa por reunirme con usted! Me pondré en contacto para obtener más información sobre cómo servir mejor a su hijo(a) y su familia. Su voz es primordial mientras trabajamos juntos para construir la escuela secundaria Dr. General Marshall como un gran faro de luz en Austin ISD.
Con mucho entusiasmo,
