Jessica Hutcheson, Interim Principal

Jessica was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA where she trusted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She later moved to Greenville, South Carolina to begin her journey as an educator because of her love for children and desire to make a difference in their lives through quality education. She earned a B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Bob Jones University, an M. Ed. in Administration and Supervision, and is a National Board-Certified Teacher. She taught preschool, kindergarten, and second grade for almost 11 years at Brushy Creek Elementary School in Greenville, SC.
Jessica moved to Social Circle with her husband Tim in 2014 when he became an agent for State Farm Insurance and decided to open his agency there.  At that time, she put her career on hold to support him and their growing family. Their daughters are Harper (6), Ryleigh (4), and Allie Grace (2). Jessica’s heart for Early Childhood Literacy led her to volunteer at the WH Stanton Memorial Library, where she started and has continued to lead the “Tales for Tots” program. She serves as a Board Trustee for the library and as a representative for the advisory board for Social Circle Christian School. She and her family are actively involved at First Baptist Church of Social Circle.
Jessica has a passion for providing a Christ-centered, stimulating, and safe environment for students to thrive as they grow academically and spiritually. She is looking forward to the incredible joy of joining the SCCS family and working together to make Social Circle Christian School a premier place of learning and a lighthouse to our community.
