Proven service. Deep St. Louis roots.

Donna Jones is a North St. Louis native, SLPS parent, former PTO leader, and longtime community advocate. She is the mother of seven SLPS graduates, with grandchildren who have also attended the district.

She helped restore local governance to SLPS and has spent more than two decades standing with students, families, educators, and neighborhoods. Donna believes major decisions should begin with the people they affect—not be handed to them after the fact.
