Rooks , Jessica

Hi! I’m Jess Rooks, and I am excited to serve as the art teacher at Battle Creek Middle School. I earned degrees in Art Therapy and Graphic Design from Lipscomb University, and this is my fourth year teaching. I love creating art with my students and helping them discover their own creativity, build confidence, and find joy in the artistic process. I believe the art classroom is a place where students can explore, experiment, and express themselves in new and meaningful ways. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our golden retriever, and my friends. I also love reading and creating all kinds of art in my free time. I am grateful to be part of the BCMS community and look forward to another creative and exciting year with my students!
