Assistant Principal
My name is Erick Jackson, and I am very excited about joining Yucca Elementary as an Assistant Principal.
I've been in education since 2007, serving as a teacher, coach, dean, and assistant principal. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) with a BA in Sociology. I earned my teaching credential from Cal State University Bakersfield and my MA in Educational Administration from Concordia University-Irvine. Throughout my years, I have taught high school math and PE, and I have also taught elementary PE. I began administration as an Assistant Principal with Palmdale School District during the 19-20 school year, and I look forward to continuing to serve the great community of Palmdale.
My passion is serving and motivating young scholars to become hard-working, responsible, and considerate young men and women. I believe that knowledge is important but caring for one another is more important. Yucca is dedicated to advancing our students by providing a plethora of opportunities to explore classes that expose our students to multiple career paths, including college readiness. I will do all I can to support our students, staff, and families in pursuing said advancements, and I look forward to our continued partnership as a community.
