Sacred Heart is excited to announce the addition of Ari Jacks to our teaching staff for the 2026-2027 School Year.  Mr. Jacks will be teaching Junior High Math. Please join us in giving him a warm Sacred Heart welcome!

Hello, my name is Ari Jacks. I’m an alumni of the SH class of 2014 and a 2019 graduate of the University of Central Missouri.  My lovely wife and three amazing boys are my life, but I also enjoy lifting weights in my spare time. After working in fitness and donuts over the years, teaching math at Sacred Heart is an amazing opportunity that I can’t wait to begin! 

When asked about the addition of Mr. Jacks to the teaching staff, Richard Bahner said “I have great memories of Mr. Jacks as a student.  A few days ago at lunch with a group that included three retired SH math teachers, Mr. Ron Gillman recalled a time when, in an Algebra II class, Ari stunned him with a statement about complex numbers that couldn’t even be found in that textbook!  I’m super excited because I know that Ari’s personality is perfect for interaction with secondary students.  He is a kind, gentle, patient man with a great sense of humor.  Students will always know that Mr. Jacks cares about them and will help them succeed.”
