Hello, Welcome to the HHS Medical Academy webpages! I am excited to have you view my page. My name is Jan Langston, and I am one of four Medical Academy instructors. This truly is my dream job! 

My philosophy of teaching is putting students first, so that they feel comfortable in approaching me with problems, questions, or concerns. One way I do this is by sharing with my students my personal life experiences, the good and the bad. I want to listen to the needs of my students and respond to their concerns compassionately. It is my desire to demonstrate a caring attitude and to be a mentor/leader to my students.  

As an educator, I want to be creative in my delivery of teaching in order to reach today's learners. I want to establish an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and that promotes critical thinking. I want to lead students to become caring and nurturing healthcare workers while understanding that they are responsible for their own educational learning outcomes. I want students to realize that learning is a lifelong adventure.

I am married to David, and we live here in Hartselle. We are both Hartselle graduates along with our two grown children, Holden (2015) and Ryan (2020). We are grandparents to our sweet grandson Jackson. I love to be outside working in the yard, hanging out by the pool, and spending time with my family.
