My name is Mason Jones and I am thrilled to be teaching First Grade at Calhoun Academy of the Arts. I graduated from Anderson University with a degree in Early Childhood Education and began my teaching career at Calhoun during the 2021-2022 school year! I am originally from Rock Hill, South Carolina, but I also think of Anderson as my home! My priority as a teacher is to show my students that they are loved and that they are capable. I strive to make my classroom a place where even the tiny successes are celebrated and everyone feels just as special as they truly are! Calhoun and the first grade both hold special places in my heart!!
