Herman T. Jones was the embodiment of values still revered in the field of education today. He helped not only to mold the minds of his students, but also to develop the thinking skills that would allow them to understand the world around them. He often stressed that each child must receive a quality education which would develop winners, not losers, and which would provide the opportunity for each child to become all s/he is capable of becoming.

In 1951, he was asked to become the principal of the Prairie View Training School. He served in this capacity until his retirement in 1971.

Herman T. Jones died on April 3, 1983. He left a positive and lasting influence on those lives he touched.
