Staff

The Annunciation Austin staff is carefully chosen by our Director of Education to provide teaching excellence in a supportive environment.

Director of Education, Jackie Horton holds a BA in Physics from Ithaca College, a Texas Teaching Certificate from St. Edward’s University, and a Master’s in Education from Capella University. She has teaching experience in both public and Catholic school settings, as well as experience as a Catholic school principal. She has been homeschooling her children since 2008 and has been teaching at Annunciation Austin since 2012.

“For the position of Director at Annunciation Austin, I believe the most valuable experience I have is as mother and educator of my own children. Focusing on our Catholic identity as our family’s primary goal, I have had to genuinely incorporate our faith life into our homeschooling. Because they are such different learners, I have had to accommodate a variety of home educational and organizational methods. As they’ve progressed through high school, I have had to navigate a variety of developmental and educational milestones. When we first started homeschooling, I was attracted to classical education with the trivium and studied it extensively in order to implement a classical Catholic model with them. Due to me being a teacher outside of the home and their primary educator in the home while they remain involved in a variety of activities, I have had to work hard to balance our home life. I would like to share all of these experiences with families so that they may experience success as members of the Annunciation Austin community.”
