Jones County Schools

Chris Wagner is in his twenty-third year in the education profession. He received his first undergraduate degree in business from Campbell University in 1991, and after working in the insurance industry for ten years, he became a lateral entry teacher in 2001. He later received his teacher certification in Math from East Carolina University in 2003.

Over the last 23 years, Chris has been a classroom teacher in all grades 7-12, a math department chair, and a student mentor. He has also implemented a student lead tutoring program and served on many school committees such as SIT and Attendance Fidelity Team. He was on a Principal search team at his current school, Jones Senior High School. He has also coached middle and high school sports for 18 years and been an Athletic Director for 4 of these years.

Chris currently serves as an administrative intern at Jones Senior High School in Trenton, N.C. JSHS is in a K-12 building, but his concentration is with grades 6-12, where he works with all students and staff in an administrative role. He hopes the knowledge he gains through this program will help him be an effective leader in his school district in whatever capacity they feel will best suit the students and community he serves.

He is an extremely devoted family man who has been blessed with a loving wife, Jennifer, of 22 years (will be 23 years in May) and two great children, Sophia and Dylan.
