Jeremy Jones is the Regional Executive Director of the EAGLE College Prep schools in the Phoenix, Arizona region, part of the Open Sky Education network.
Jeremy holds a deep belief in the limitless potential of all children and a driving passion to serve others. Most recently, Jeremy led and managed the charter school system in Maine as the Executive Director of the Maine Charter School Commission. Before leading the state-wide authorizer of charter schools in Maine, he served in roles at the classroom, school, district, and state levels to ensure that families and students have access to vibrant, thriving schools. After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2004, Jeremy joined Teach For America as a middle school math teacher in New Orleans, Louisiana. He continued teaching in Houston after Hurricane Katrina before leading teacher and leader recruitment efforts for a high-performing charter school network called YES Prep Public Schools. In 2010, he began service in Tennessee as the state-wide communications director for the Achievement School District and in 2014 he returned to Houston to launch an innovative district-charter partnership school between the Spring Branch Independent School District and the YES Prep Public Schools. That partnership became the inspiration for state legislation that incentivized collaboration between charter schools and traditional schools. Jeremy went on to partner with the San Antonio Independent School District, launching a network of charter schools in the district. Jeremy is an alumnus of the 2021 National Association of Charter School Authorizers Leadership Program and a former Board President for the CLEAR Public Charter School in San Marcos, Texas.
Jeremy has previously lived in Prescott, Arizona, and is a graduate of the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is a father and an avid endurance athlete, having completed multiple ultramarathons.
