About Me Hi! My name is Jordan Gupton and I am so excited to be your child's PreK teacher this year! It’s going to be a fun year with lots of learning and new adventures and I can’t wait to see all the progress the students make through their journey to learning.
I was born in Tulsa, OK and I am an only child. I grew up on a farm for most of my life but absolutely love the city life and being a part of downtown Oklahoma City. When I graduated high school, I ventured to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater where I majored in Early Childhood Education to begin my journey of becoming a teacher. Teaching has always been where my heart is and I love watching the students have their “light-bulb” moment.
