Tiffany N. Jones, Memorial High School

In the halls and classrooms of James Madison Memorial High School, a young woman stands tall as student council president and stellar scholar. Tiffany Jones takes to her many leadership roles with grace, maturity and, when needed,...good humor.

Tiffany has been a member of the student council for four years. Serving her 3rd term as student council president, she's always been held in high esteem among peers. More importantly, Tiffany strives to make Memorial High School a place for all students. She elevates her entire school community working as a peer tutor and active member of the Black Student Union.

Teachers describe how Tiffany sets high standards for performance in the classroom. Classmates respond to her positive influence, rising to a new level.

Her community-mindedness extends beyond school. She's worked with elementary students, served on a Literacy Advocacy committee, built homes through Developer Community Industries and distributed backpacks and school supplies to families in need at the 100 Black Men of Madison's annual back-to-school picnic.

As captain of the Memorial track and field team two years running, she's a picture of drive and achievement, a true winner and deserving recipient of the Joe Thomas Community Service Award for Students.
