Educator

After years of success in the business field Jeremy H. G. Hayes wanted to give back to future generations through education. Jeremy holds a strong belief that through education people can obtain their dreams.

Jeremy has served as head of a history department, while teaching at the school, head football coach, and is currently the Executive Director of Schools at Generation Changers Academy (having two campuses with the academy).

"We, as educators, have the unique ability to change the life of a student by helping them obtain their dreams. An education does not care what you look like, where you are from, nor does it care about your past. Once a student obtains a solid education they can do anything in life. It is my goal to create leaders in the community, their homes, and churches." -Jeremy H. G. Hayes
