Mrs. Jeanne Peterson began her teaching career in northeast Texas in 1990 after staying home with her children for nine years. Her longest tenure was with Longview High School for 14 years, three of them as the Mathematics Department Chair. After 25 years of teaching high school
mathematics, she retired to care for her invalid husband. After he passed, she moved to Victoria to live near her daughter. Most recently for 7 years, Mrs. Peterson taught honors algebra II, AP pre calculus, and AP calculus AB for Yorktown Secondary School, and coached and coordinated academic competitive teams. In 2024-25 she taught 6th-8th grade mathematics for Trinity Episcopal School and coached and coordinated PSIA (Private Schools Interscholastic Association) academic contests. Mrs. Peterson started teaching geometry and honors geometry at St. Joseph High School in the fall of 2025. 

What do I like about teaching at St. Joseph High School?
I enjoy sharing my love for mathematics. I want my students to appreciate the order and beauty of mathematics in creation and realize that mathematics permeates every aspect of our lives. Our Creator is the omnipotent mathematician who masterfully wove mathematical
patterns into the universe.
