KIPP Baltimore: KIPP families -- Today, we are thrilled to celebrate Ms. Darricka Jackson, 3rd grade ELA teacher at KIPP Harmony Academy, who was named one of just 10 educators nationwide to receive the prestigious 2026 Harriett Ball Excellence in Teaching Award - including a $10,000 prize in recognition of her extraordinary work! If Ms. Jackson has impacted your child or family, we invite you to help us celebrate her by sharing a note, memory, or words of congratulations on our Kudoboard: rmd.me/1TtEBxE1Dd1

We are so proud to have Ms. Jackson as part of our KIPP Baltimore Team & Family!

Can you remember a teacher who made a big impact on you?

I know I can. Mrs. Mulloney (3rd Grade Teacher) came into my life at a time when I was all knees and elbows, unsure of who I was or wanted to be. In English class, she gave me the tools to figure that out and the words to express myself. I will remember this woman until my dying breath because she saw me and gave me the support I needed.

You may never truly know your impact, but what you do matters. The late nights, the lesson rewrites, the student you stay after school for. It all matters. And we are grateful to you.

HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK KIPP Baltimore
