He was a bus driver, instructional assistant, facilities handyman, coach of multiple sports, and friend to everyone that met him.

What do you value most about your position?
"Although I do not get to work hands on in the classroom or see our ASD3 students each day, I take great pride in helping to support the teachers, administrators, and staff in our district to educate our students to the highest standards possible. Helping with extracurricular activities and athletics is also very important to me. The fact that I get to work with some of the best people on this side of heaven is just a bonus! ASD3 is a great place to work."
Here are three facts about Mrs. Jarrard:
1. My husband, Bones Jarrard, calls me "shortie" even though I'm six feet tall!
2. My daughter, Rachel Shore, is the school nurse at Crescent High School.
3. My grandchildren call me "Darlin," a name given to me by my oldest granddaughter, Danni Rae Shore.
Mrs. Jarrard is a true asset to our district. Thank you for being an #A3AllStar! 💛
