AHS teacher Kathy Jackson is set to receive her PhD from UGA in December


After five years at UGA, Kathy Jackson has finally finished her PhD!
Her degree a PhD in Art with Emphasis in Art Education. Kathy will graduate December 19th at the UGA Coliseum.  Her dissertation is entitled “Fire in the Foothills: A Collective Portrait of Three Northeast Georgia Folk Potters”. It is a qualitative study with a constructivist paradigm using portraiture and narrative inquiry as my methodology. Portraiture is much like an ethnography blended with an expressive novel. The manuscript will hopefully be made into a book soon
