ELLISVILLE \u2013Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s psychology instructor, Stephanie Green has been selected as the Â鶹ֱ²¥ 2019-2020 Mississippi Humanities Teacher of the Year.\u00a0 She will be honored by the Mississippi Humanities Council and the college on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at 10:30 a.m.<\/strong> in the M.P. Bush Fine Arts Auditorium.\u00a0 The public is invited to see Green\u2019s presentation, \u201cHappiness Without Prozac,\u201d which will discuss the keys to happiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone wants the keys to happiness. We read self-help books, attend counseling and take medications trying to find the secret to a happy life.\u00a0 This presentation will examine the factors involved in happiness and discuss the similarities of the happiest people in the world,\u201d said Green.<\/p>\n

The Laurel resident has been teaching Psychology and Human Growth & Development classes at Jones for 22 years. Previously, she worked in Nashville, Tennessee as a mental health therapist for four years working with teenagers in a psychiatric setting. However, Green said she loves teaching more than anything else. Her Social Science Division Chair, Dr. Ronald Bishop said her students benefit greatly from her wisdom and love for her profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cStephanie Green is a phenomenal and beloved teacher. She truly has students at heart, and that shows in how students respond to her.\u00a0 She is a friend to all, especially dogs.\u00a0 She is conscientious and devoted to making the world a better place through education. She is a natural choice for Humanities Teacher of the Year, and the award is much deserved,\u201d said Bishop.<\/p>\n

The Mississippi Humanities Council will recognize Green as JC\u2019s Mississippi Humanities Teacher of the Year during this special presentation in Ellisville, and again in Jackson at a banquet where she will receive a cash award and a plaque.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>I am extremely grateful and honored to receive this award. I remember being a Jones student and learning so much in my psychology classes. It is humbling to now be recognized as a teacher at the school I loved as an 18-year-old. I still feel that same pride and can\u2019t believe I get to do this as a job. I love this school and the people I work with. They are not just colleagues but truly some of my best friends,\u201d said Green.<\/p>\n

Other honors Green has received include being recognized in 2019 as one of five JC faculty members nominated for the Faculty of the Year Award. In 2015, she was honored as the Social Science Teacher of the Year and in 2011, she was selected as a Â鶹ֱ²¥ \u201cLamplighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 1989 Jones graduate earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in Social Rehabilitation Services and her Master of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology from USM where she graduated with Honors. She is also a National Board-Certified Counselor. \u00a0Additionally, Green did extra graduate coursework in psychology at William Carey University in 2001 and at Delta State University in 2012.<\/p>\n

She serves the Laurel community as a board member for the Laurel Animal Rescue League and is the Fundraising\/Event Coordinator for the Dixie Golf Association. At Jones, Green is a Philosophy Club Co-Sponsor, an advisor for the freshman life skills course, Psychology of Personal Adjustment and she is a member of the Academic Probation Committee. She has served as the Sophomore Breakfast Committee and as a Class Homecoming Float Sponsor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
