Mayor James Perkins Jr. has officially designated Sherry Jackson as a Ceremonial and Promotional  Ambassador for the Office of the Mayor as she prepares to travel to the Republic of Senegal to  participate in the prestigious Fulbright Teacher Exchanges Award during the 2024-2025 academic  year.

Ms. Jackson, a proud resident of Selma, is a dedicated educator at Clark Elementary School within  the Selma City Schools system. She is also a distinguished alumna of Selma Early College High  School, affiliated with the Selma High School Class of 2010. Her achievements and dedication to  education continue to shine a positive light on the Selma community.
