Jenny Simmons
College Planner/Math Tutor
Hello. My name is Jenny Simmons and I am very happy to be a part of Class101 and work with the outstanding team members Amber has assembled. My favorite thing throughout my thirty-five-year teaching career - thirty-four years at Saltillo High School and one year at the University of Hawaii - is helping students become better prepared for college or the workplace. At SHS, I taught all levels of math including state-tested Algebra I, Advanced Placement Calculus, and College Algebra. While at Saltillo, I earned a Masters's Degree and National Board Certification. I was named Lee County Teacher of the Year, and, in 2015, was chosen as The Mississippi Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching winner. After retirement in 2018, I worked around the state of Mississippi as a mathematics consultant. During my career, I enjoyed watching my students grow, succeed, and become great community members. At Class101, I am once again getting to do all those things. When I am not at Class101, I spend time with my family: husband, Tim, son, Jack, and daughter, Julie. I am an active member of First Baptist Church Saltillo and love being part of the mission activities they provide.Lori Johnson

My experience with Class 101 has been amazing to say the least. When I joined, I had a
24 on my ACT. After only 2 short years, I increased my score to a 30 due to the weekly ACT
practice classes. Additionally, Class 101 has played a pivotal role in enrolling me into college.
Mrs. Amber McHenry helped me every step of the way from enrollment to scholarships. I truly
believe that Class 101 is the reason I’m getting to go to a great college.
Will Chappell
For over two years now, I have been a part of Class 101. Class 101 has helped me raise
my ACT score, prepare for college, and apply to tons of scholarships. Without this organization,
I would not even know where to begin in preparing for college.
