Henry Raab Families,
I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Jamerson (Jamey) McCloskey and I will be the new principal of Washington School. This will be my 27th year in education. I hold an Illinois teaching license in early childhood education, in addition to my administrative license. I spent ten years in the classroom teaching kindergarten and second grade. This is my 16th year in Belleville School District 118 where I served as principal at Jefferson for the past 13 years.
My wife Jackie and I have been married for 26 years. We have three sons named Jake (23), Jack (20) & James (16). We have lived in Belleville since our wedding. I enjoy just about everything to do with the outdoors. In my spare time I enjoy hunting, fishing, off-roading, watersports and anything related to the southwestern U.S.
I am extremely grateful and excited to continue my career at Henry Raab School. I look forward to seeing all of the kiddos here in the near future.
Sincerely,
Mr. M.
