Summary
Jessica Barnhill, community school coordinator in Las Cruces, New Mexico, just earned national acclaim as the 2026 National Community School Coordinator — a title honoring those who go above and beyond to support students, families, and communities through the community school model. Since joining Booker T. Washington Elementary in 2019, she’s built bridges between teachers, parents, students, and local organizations, tackling barriers and using data to drive real change. Her efforts have launched after-school programs like cheerleading, tutoring, and even a 3D printing club — with basketball and soccer coming next year. All while pursuing her master’s in social work. Her passion turns challenges into wins for kids and families — proof that community-driven education transforms lives. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
