Jonathan Borum
I was born in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains and raised in a small Appalachian town in East Tennessee. After marrying my wife Kimberly, we moved to Sumter County in 2005. We found Sumter County to be such a great place, and I have worked here at South Sumter High School—this is my 20th year!
I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master’s in Curriculum at Tennessee Tech University. Most recently, I earned a master’s in school counseling from the University of The Southwest. Initially, here at SSHS, I taught ESE students Life/Career skills, and in 2018, I became a School Counselor. As the 9th-grade counselor, I receive fulfillment knowing that I have instilled a sense of self-accountability in students struggling to overcome teen life obstacles.
Outside of work, I enjoy visiting and traveling with my family. I also enjoy coaching my children. My daughter plays travel softball, and my son is beginning with tee-ball and flag football.
