Nicole "Nikki" Evans Jones, EdD
Mother, Start-Up/Small Business Owner, Retired Educator
Candidate for Post Three At-Large (Citywide) Seat on the Atlanta City Council
Education Leader – Community Builder – Lifelong Atlantan
Dr. Nicole (Nikki) Evans Jones spent 30 years working to better Atlanta Public Schools. First as
a counselor and then as a principal. Nikki led turnaround efforts at four Atlanta Public Schools.
An achievement she credits to lifting up families and neighborhoods, to being just as focused on what goes on outside schools as inside them. She invested her time in families and neighborhoods as a way to boost student outcomes. And will bring that same spirit of access and inclusion to City Council.
Nikki is now a small business owner and entrepreneur. She is a third generation resident, having
grown up in Southwest Atlanta. She is a product of our public school system and graduated from
Benjamin E. Mays High School. She received a Bachelor’s degree from Howard University in political science and subsequently an M.A. and Ed.D from Clark Atlanta University. She has three grown children and lives in West Midtown. Nikki is a member of Cascade United Methodist Church.
She is running to “Put Neighborhoods First” in our city. Something you can trust she’ll deliver. After all, she’s done it her whole career!
