Jess Rose joined Barr in July 2023 as Senior Program Officer on the Education Team, leading the Catalyze New Models strategy focused on transforming high schools across New England to become places where students thrive, particularly those who have been systemically marginalized and underserved. Jess is the daughter of an educator and grew up in a house that talked about school all the time. Her own high school experience was transformational for her; she is forever grateful for her high school teachers who indulged her in countless explorations of what the purpose of school could be. Through these experiences she began to wrestle with burning questions of equity–particularly around race, class, and gender–and has been fueled to create systemic change in schools ever since.
