I'm Jeanna Hodges, Gifted Education Specialist for Tarrant City Schools

I have been teaching for a total of 21 years, with 18 years being here at Tarrant. I have my Bachelors in Education from UAB and my Masters in Gifted Education from the University of South Alabama.  I am married with 6 children and 1 grandbaby.  We stay super busy with the kids and all their sports and other activities.  I love Auburn football/basketball and Braves baseball!

I’m passionate about helping students discover and develop their unique strengths. With 17 years of experience in gifted education, my goal is to create a dynamic and challenging learning environment where every student feels empowered to reach their full potential.

I believe in nurturing curiosity, encouraging creative problem-solving, and fostering critical thinking skills. I work to create personalized experiences that allow each student to explore their interests, take on new challenges, and grow as independent learners.
