About Jonathan Brooks

Just call him Mr. Brooks. Jonathan is in the Call Me MISTER program at Longwood, which encourages and supports young men in choosing teaching as a profession. Jonathan is an elementary education major, and hopes to teach in the Hanover County school district after completing his degree. If he reaches that goal, he’ll be in the same district as his high-school alma mater, Lee-Davis High School, where his favorite classes were Teachers for Tomorrow and Advanced Government. During high school, he was in the French Club and the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, and a junior marshal for the graduating class of 2018. He continues his work as a youth leader for Virginia’s I’m Determined project, which facilitates youth, especially those with disabilities, in taking a measure of control in their lives, helping them to set and steer the course. Jonathan loves Italian food, spending time with family and friends, and the movie Coming to America.
