When you hear the name Sam Jacobs you cannot help but think of Walpole Schools and Fall Mountain District. Mr. Jacobs has been a great teacher, principal and most importantly a wonderful role model for our school, district and community for forty-plus years. Our children have benefitted from his devotion to academic excellence, integrity, kindness and community service. Helping to fund the Sam Jacobs Scholarship will continue this legacy.
Sam began his career at Fall Mountain High School as an Agriculture and Horticulture teacher in 1980. He immediately had a positive effect on young people. It was easy to recognize his passion for career education and his curriculum. His iconic smile and genuine affection for others was a great motivator for teens. Whether it was leading a group of Future Farmers of America to Kansas City, Missouri for the National Competition, or raising a new barn for for the high school program, Sam was at the forefront of each success. It wasn't uncommon for him to personally transport kids to the state events, and encourage them to be state officers in the organization.
Sam joined the Walpole Schools in 1997 as principal, bringing that personal desire to improve others lives. He is known for being fully involved with our students and families. Mr. Jacobs has always made an effort to know each and every kindergartener and their family by name, developing that relationship throughout their school career. In Walpole, students know they will always be cared for and families know they have an advocate because Mr. Jacobs is their biggest supporter .Our Mr. Jacobs was with our children at school dances, sporting events, the 8th grade white water rafting trips, Camp Takodah, and even became a human sundae for a reading challenge! He has been right there with the students enjoying every minute of the fun. Who can forget the Air Band performances starring Mr. Jacobs? He has made all of our lives so much brighter.
Walpole School is an amazing place because of his leadership.
