Hello and welcome to English I! My name is Jordan Thornton, and I'm looking forward to learning and growing with my students and their guardians this year! The 22-23 school year will be my second full year teaching and my first year teaching at PHS. I am entering this school year with two main goals: to prepare the students for their 10th grade English II state test, and (most importantly to me) to help foster in them a life-long love for literature and writing. It is my belief that the subject I teach is of the utmost importance when it comes to molding the students to became intuitive and empathetic citizens. My motto is "Onward and upward!" because every day is a new chance to move forward.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email me!
