Entering the 2022-23 school year, my classes will be working to earn high school math credits by mastering Algebra and Geometry..

This is my twenty-third year teaching, and for the last four years Jackson Middle School is where I have tried to deliver education in a fun, informative and energetic way.  I am originally from San Benito, Texas and started teaching in La Feria, but have been teaching and coaching both high school and middle school in San Antonio for the last 21 years.   

I am currently teaching 8th grade math, as well as Algebra 1 Honors, Algebra 1 GT, and Geometry classes, where I hope to provide rigorous mathematical instruction to all levels of students.  The best way to reach me is email (jhovda@neisd.net), as I am in my classroom throughout the day.  Please let me know how I can help you succeed in math at Jackson Middle.
