Very, very sad news was shared on The Hilltop today by Dr. Kresse during our morning announcements:

Good morning City Honors. I need to deliver some very sad news this morning. Mrs. Erica Jennings, French and Spanish teacher at City Honors for many years, has passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Mrs. Jennings was not only an extraordinary teacher, she was one of the finest human beings I have known in my lifetime. Mrs. Jennings was the only dual certified Spanish and French teacher in our school district, a testament to her embrace of diversity and all cultures. There are few that I have known in my career that truly loved working with children as Mrs. Jennings did.

We tend to think of the strongest in our society as athletes, soldiers or those who are the physically imposing. Mrs. Jennings was small in stature, but she was a giant in almost every other sense. She refused to relent to her illness, finding a way to come to the school to teach her students regardless of pain and physical limitations. Her City Honors students and her daughter Elle were her greatest joy. Being at school each day around all of you was also her greatest source of strength. While others these days may get caught in spirals of negativity, Mrs. Jennings always saw the good and had a smile for everyone in our school community. Mrs. Jennings worked hard at her own studies as a young person and was incredibly proud to be a member of the City Honors faculty and our school community.

View Erica Michelle Jennings's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
