Mrs. Jessica Parker, 7th Grade Counselor
I'm thrilled to continue my role of 7th grade counselor at MNMS this year! With 12 years of experience in education, I’m eager to continue supporting our students and families. I graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University and proudly consider myself a lifelong learner, always looking for new ways to grow and help others. Being bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to connect with and support a diverse range of families, which is a true passion of mine. My husband, two teenagers, and two dogs keep me busy at home, and when I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying a good book or soaking up the lake life. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead at MNMS!

Mr. Jeff Renner, 8th Grade Counselor
Hello Mustang North families! I am excited to begin my second year as the 8th grade school counselor here at Mustang North Middle School. I earned my M.Ed. in School Counseling at the University of Central Oklahoma. I am continuing my education at UCO to earn my Licensed Professional Counselor certification. I am a retired 26 year veteran of the Oklahoma City Fire Department and am loving my second career as much as the fire department! I have always felt called to help others. I am married with 4 children and 3 bonus children. I love SCUBA diving, riding my Harley, and going to school. I look forward to an amazing year at MNMS!
