JAHANA HAYES

Jahana Hayes, 2016 National Teacher of the Year, teaches history in Waterbury, CT at John F. Kennedy High School. But, the community is her classroom. Connecting lessons learned in school to real life is an integral part of her instruction. Hayes seeks to send students into the world not just academically prepared but as conscientious and productive members of society.

As the 2016 National Teacher of the Year, Hayes spent a year traveling the nation representing educators and advocating on behalf of teachers. Her goal was to share her belief in the importance of service-learning, and in making the teaching profession more attractive and appealing to young people across all demographics.

Surrounded by poverty, drugs and violence as a child, Hayes imagined other possibilities for her life with help from educators. She grew up in a Waterbury housing project and became a teenage mother while still in high school. She said the influence of her own teachers taught her that a school's job sometimes overlaps with the job of parents, and she wants her students to know there are no dead ends.

Hayes’ educational philosophy centers on the belief that all students can learn and have the right to a high quality education that is specific to their needs and provides a unique purposeful experience.
