Academy
Stars & Clowns

Overview of the
​Academy Stars & Clowns

The Academy Stars and Clowns are the ambassadors for the Academy for Academics and Arts. Directed by Mrs. Stricklin and accompanied by Christopher Joel Carter with assistance from Mrs. Atkins, these sixth, seventh and eighth grade students dazzle audiences with a lively song and dance presentation. The groups’ eclectic variety of music appeals to audiences of all ages.  Membership in this group gives students more than a performance experience.  The personal commitment by a student to be a part of the group, audition, attend all the rehearsals, care for costumes, learn theatrical make-up techniques and perform for the public teaches lifelong skills that transfer to academic success and career opportunities. In addition to proficiency in song and dance, the students learn problem solving skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, poise, and self-confidence. Students also promote the arts to their peers and to the community.

Meet the Teacher
Mrs. Jenny Stricklin
jennifer.stricklin@hsv-k12.org

My name is Jenny Stricklin. I grew up in Huntsville. I graduated from Lee High School with my twin brother Jeff. My older sister Shelby graduated from Grissom. In 2010, I married my best friend Heath. It has been my dream from the beginning to teach at AAA. I am so excited to be a part of such a wonderful community of mentors, teachers, administrators, parents, community leaders, etc.

I have two degrees. I have a B.A. in vocal music with a minor in communicative disorders from The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and a B.S. in Education from Athens State University. I love to teach children. I also enjoy singing, dancing, and acting. I am on the board of Independent Musical Productions (IMP). We are a local theater company in Huntsville. 

I believe that teaching is the most rewarding occupation. It allows you to see growth in every student you meet. Every child can learn and it is my duty to take them as far as they can go.
