Dr. Jones Ford learned about her selection earlier this year in a surprise ceremony surrounded by her students.

“Dr. Jones Ford exemplifies the heart, brilliance, and excellence that defines the spirit of RCA,” said Ron Clark, co-founder of the Ron Clark Academy. “Her induction into the Hall of Fame is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact a teacher can have when they lead with both passion and purpose.”

She has spent 25 years in education and spent the last 15 of those at the Ron Clark Academy.
