Meet the Librarian

My name is America Jayroe, and this is my 8th year at Emma Sansom Middle School, 14th year in education, but my first year as librarian. I graduated from Columbia High School in Columbia, MS in 1992, received my Bachelor of Science from William Carey Univeristy in 1997 and completed a Masters degree in 2023 from University of West Alabama. I am currently pursuing National Board Certification for Library Media Specialist.

I have been married for 28 years to John Jayroe and we have a daughter, Lydia who is 16 years old, and a son, Joshua who is 24 years old, and two cats named Zelda and Jasper.  I enjoy playing a variety of musical instruments, boating and camping, puzzles, and riding my bike.
