Leanna Jones
Community Engagement Manager
What do you do at higher Expectations?
I facilitate meetings and conversations with parents, families, and students. This helps higher expectations support community-led strategies to improve educational outcomes for the community.
What is your background?
I am a mom of 3. I have a long history of volunteering in the community, I started in high school in the Kiwanis Key Club. I’ve continued to volunteer through the years so I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to do more in my community and for my children’s school so I joined COFI at Knapp.
What is your favorite thing to do in Racine County?
Visiting the lakefront and locally owned eateries.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a psychologist or social worker.
What makes you excited to be a part of the Higher Expectations team?
Making a difference and growing my knowledge to further my outreach and impact in our community.
What's one thing you love that has nothing to do with work?
I love K-Pop and K-Dramas (Korean Pop & Korean Dramas). My favorite group is BTS and my favorite drama is Meteor Gardens (on Netflix)
