Welcome to J. Allen Axson!
My name is Amy Roberts and I am excited to welcome you and your family to J. Allen Axson. I have been an assistant principal for thirteen years and an educator for the past twenty-four years. I grew up in Melbourne, Florida and came to Jacksonville to attend the University of North Florida. I was part of the UNF Honors Program, which gave me experience travelling abroad, and serving as an intern in Washington D.C. at a non-profit organization. I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education and Masters in Educational Leadership from UNF. I am also Montessori trained ages 6-9.
I have been married to my husband, Dave, for twenty-one years and we have two pretty amazing teenagers who attended Axson from PreK-3 through 5th grade. My son just graduated high school and my daughter is starting her sophomore year in high school. Both children are products of Duval County Public Schools! Axson prepared both of my children for success in middle and high school and now college as my son begins his studies at FSCJ.
We also love animals. We have a cat, Lucy, and one dog, Bruce. We are big Steelers fans since my husband’s family is from Pittsburgh, but we also root for our home team!
I am looking forward to another incredible year at Axson and getting to know the families that are joining us this year.
Amy B. Roberts
