"I am certified to teach psychology and English," Jennings said."But I have been teaching drama, too, since I came back to Central."

Jennings heads up the Bedford County Schools' Summer Theatre Enrichment Program for students in grades 4-7, so many of the students that are in her productions at SCHS have been with her for years, which enables her to get to know their strengths and to see them grow and excel over time.

Jennings said she loves the students and loves what she does, and it shows in the way the cast members of this season's production respond to her leadership.
