Testimonials
"Ms. Vann is an educator at heart. She strives for excellence and encourages her students to do the same. Working in a district, such as Alvin ISD, allowed Ms. Vann to work with a diverse student population both socioeconomically as well as ethnically. She was able to make a difference with our students because she cares about their individual success and is relentless in helping them to achieve. I was fortunate to have her teach my own child and the love she showed her, and all of her students, was a joy to witness and is the reason she is an effective educator. Students learn from those that truly care!"

"If I had to describe Miss Vann, I would say she is the kindest, most passionate teacher! She truly cares for the success and well-being of her students. She has made a great impact in my life, teaching me how to respect myself and how to be appreciative of what I have. She has taught me how to be a leader and love myself. I am so thankful for the lessons she has taught me and for the great influence she has had on my life!"

"Miss Vann is one of the few memorable teachers that I have had throughout my education. She is very old-school, but puts a new school twist on the way she does things. And I think that's why she has such a great relationship with her students! I am so grateful to have been under her wing and to this day I still think of her, especially when I am writing emails for work, and I don't want to make a grammar error. Lol.

"Jasmin Vann is a wonderful, caring, loving, and respectful mentor and teacher. She cares and loves her students in every way possible, and through her teachings and life lessons to her kids she proves that. I cannot remember a time that when I needed Jasmin she turned me down, she was always there with an ear to listen and a heart to care and love. Jasmin Vann helped me through alot of adversity in high school, my dad's death being the biggest. She was always there for my family and I, and I cannot thank her enough for that. I love you Jasmin Vann and thank you for all the care, concern, and love you put into teaching and shaping America's new leaders the right way and moving them in the right direction!"

"[Miss Vann is] a kind, understanding, and very hands on teacher. [She] always made class so much fun and our lessons were always so relatable! I never got bored because [she] always kept everyone involved and entertained!"
--Hailee A., Class of 2012
"If there was a definition for the perfect teacher or mentor there [Miss Vann] would be, Jasmin Jade Vann. She loves and cares for her students, as if they were own children. She is not only concerned about what goes on at school and inside of the classroom, but she also ALWAYS showed sympathy, if anything were to happen outside of school. She reassures her students that she cares about them deeper than the "just an English teacher surface". She is something like a mother; the teacher you could always talk to about anything and know that it wouldn't be told to others. At the same time she also did not play. I remember her saying: 'We can converse, but you better get that work done & YOU BETTER NOT HALF DO IT. Do it to the BEST of your ability!' <3 I love Ms. Vann."

"The Jasmin Vann!
Miss Vann is so much more than JUST an educator. I had the privilege to be in her English class my senior year in High school. Not only was she an amazing teacher with Avant-garde teaching techniques, she was a true shoulder to cry on, a friend when in need, a mother to those who were forgotten, a developer of paths. The list goes on. Fast forward to today, JV and I have grown to become great friends. She still makes sure that I am always doing the next right thing regarding my future and life plans. I love her dearly and she has greatly impacted my life in the most positive way. Anyone who gets the chance to be in one of her courses should feel blessed."
