We are pleased to announce and congratulate Jasmine Holloway-Pate as Lanett High School's Teacher of the Year.
Jasmine Holloway-Pate is a passionate educator, community leader, and mentor dedicated to being the light she once needed as a high school student. She is married to Kelcius Pate, and together they are the proud parents of three amazing children: Jordan Scott, Karter Pate, and Kaleb Pate.
A proud graduate of Valley High School (Class of 2007), Mrs. Holloway-Pate continued her education at The Alabama State University, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Health Education. She has served in the field of education for over seven years, impacting students across multiple communities. Her professional journey includes serving as an educator at Lanier High School, a 4-H Educator with Auburn University, and a Prevention Educator with the Family Science Center in Montgomery, Alabama.
Beyond the classroom, she is the owner of Jazzy Magnolia All-Stars, where she uses athletics, discipline, and mentorship to inspire the next generation. Whether in schools, community programs, or her own gym, her commitment to uplifting young people remains constant.
Her guiding classroom philosophy is rooted in service: “ Be all you can, for whom you can, for as long as you can be it.” She strives to show up fully for her students every day, offering the encouragement, guidance, and consistency she once longed for. The personal motto she lives by is: “I am far too great to be the only thing standing in my way!” With every assignment, opportunity, and interaction, Jasmine Holloway-Pate gives her absolute best, because excellence, service, and purpose are at the core of everything she does.
