Welcome Mrs. Jones!
Mrs. Erica Jones was hired as our Middle School Teacher for the 2026ā2027 school year, and we couldnāt be more excited to welcome her to McClusky-Goodrich. Erica earned her bachelorās degree in elementary education from Minot State University and has spent her career teaching elementary students across central North Dakota. From her early years in a combined third/fourth grade classroom in Bowdon, to fifth/sixth grade in Sykeston, to third and then fourth grade in Fessenden, Erica has consistently poured her heart into helping students grow. She is known for creating warm, supportive classrooms where students feel valued, encouraged, and capable of reaching their full potential.
Erica and her husband, Troy, live on their family farm near Bowdon, where family, and hard work are at the center of their lives. They have three daughters: their oldest, McKayla, and her husband, Parker, live on a farm and ranch near Esmond; their middle daughter, Madison, is pursuing a degree in medicine; and their youngest daughter, Rylee, is pursuing a degree in nursing. Ericaās pride in her family shines through in everything she does, and her deep roots in our rural communities make her an especially meaningful addition to our district.
With 24 years of teaching experience, Erica brings not only expertise, but also kindness, humility, and a genuine love for kids to McClusky-Goodrich. We feel incredibly fortunate that she has chosen to share the next chapter of her career with us, and we are thrilled to welcome her into our Dragon family. Please join us in giving Mrs. Jones a warm McClusky-Goodrich welcome in the comments and when you see her around school!
