Greetings Valley View Families and Students:
My name is Dr. Theresa Jackson, and I am excited to be your principal this school year. This will be my fourth year as principal at Valley View Elementary and my 14th year with the York Suburban School District.

I am a graduate of Red Lion Area Senior High School and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary English Education from Millersville University. I also have a Master’s Degree from Wilkes University, Principal Certification from Cabrini University, and a doctoral degree from Millersville University.

From the moment I accepted the position at Valley View, I have remained dedicated to two important goals:

• To creating a learning environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, and solve problems on their own by using engaging and hands-on teaching methods.
• To establishing strong, collaborative partnerships with families by creating open communication channels, providing opportunities for parental involvement, and empowering families to support their child's learning and development.

In addition to those goals, I understand the value in being visible and encourage you to say hello when you see me at Valley View or out and about in our school community. When not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my husband Tony and our teenage children, Cole and Julia. I also love reading fiction, traveling, and cheering on the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens.

I'm inspired every day by the amazing potential of our students and love seeing the spark of curiosity ignite in them as they grow and explore new things. Thank you for entrusting the Valley View Elementary team to nurture your student and to help them shine. It’s a privilege to partner with you to help them reach their full potential.

Should you ever have a question or concern, I encourage you to reach out to me or our office team.

Warmly,
Dr. Theresa Jackson, Principal
