Life Learning Academy

Jeannetta Mitchell (Juh-net-tuh) (MITCH-uhl), a devoted single parent of four adopted children, has dedicated her life to serving both her family and community. Over the past 25 years, she has been an integral part of the Life Learning Academy in San Francisco, where she tutors students in algebra and geometry. Jeannetta's commitment extends beyond academics as she initiated Game Night for the school’s dormitory students and continues to meet with them weekly. Following her retirement after 32 years of teaching math in San Francisco, she remains active in the community, volunteering with the Presidio Middle School PTSA to lead Black History Month celebrations and talent shows. Additionally, Jeannetta provides invaluable support every year to families navigating college and scholarship applications, serves as a Sunday School teacher and plays a pivotal role in organizing leadership training workshops and educational enrichment programs for youth in the community.”
