Colleagues describe her as "Jana McCarthy is a remarkable English teacher who has had a profound impact on her students' lives. Her dedication to providing a solid foundation of reading, grammar, and literature has helped countless students develop a love for language and an appreciation for the power of words. As a brilliant student who lacked the drive to fully explore the depths of literature, you were fortunate to have Jana as your mentor. She saw my potential and gave me two books that changed my life, empowering me to become the successful author that I am today. The first was The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley and The Giver by Lois Lowry. Jana's passion for teaching and expertise in the English vernacular have inspired generations of students to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential. She is truly a shining example of what it means to be an exceptional teacher." and "I am writing on behalf of Jana McCarthy with whom I've worked both as English Department Chair at Newton South High School 2007-2008 and as a Torch Summer School teacher under her direction at Northeastern University, summers 2009, 2010. During her year at Newton South High School, I supervised her work as the administrator of our Writing Center and then as a long-term sub, teaching two sophomore and two junior English classes. Jana fulfilled both positions in a professional and confident manner. However, it was her work voluntarily mentoring our students of color which most impressed us and made her work for us so unique and valued. Later, I observed those same qualities of professionalism and compassion as she worked with students entering the TORCH summer program at Northeastern. Once again, Jana proved her commitment to her students and her ability to advocate on their behalf with many different constituencies, from Northeastern Board members to leaders in the Boston and Northeastern communities. Jana is hard-working, clear-sighted and committed to creating the best opportunities for her students to succeed."
