Hello and welcome to Mexia ISD ACE! I’m Jackie Collins, and I am employed by ESC Region 12 as the ACE Site Coordinator at McBay Elementary and Mexia ISD. My office hours are 10:00 a.m-5:00 p.m., Monday thru Thursday, and 10:00am-2:00pm on Fridays. I am excited to work with your students for the 2022-2023 school year!

This year marks my fourth year working with Mexia ISD and in Education. However, this will be my first year as an ACE Site Coordinator. I previously taught 6th grade English and Language Arts for Mexia Junior High, so teaching students and helping them actually learn how to learn is important to me. I am looking forward to providing our students with educational and engaging things to do in both our morning and after school programs!

I am a 2005 graduate of Mexia High School, and I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Texas A&M-Commerce. I have one son, Kasen, who is a 5th grader at R.Q. Sims Intermediate School. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide the ACE program to our K-2 students, and I want to work with you to make this school year the best for your children! I consider it a blessing to be of service to MISD, as I love like the sense of community Mexia offers. This is a unique place to be, and I am anticipating an amazing school year!
