Allow us to introduce our rad art teacher, Mr. Kyle Jennings. Mr. Jennings joined us last year and students love his class. Mr. Jennings has a laid back and calming vibe that students are drawn to (no pun intended).

Mr. Jennings has been teaching for 15 years. His room is a work of art. His classroom displays his work and student work that really captivates you. Mr. Jennings passion for art and drawing started at a young age and it spills over into the music realm too. He enjoys strumming the guitar and jamming. You can find a couple guitars hanging in his classroom as well.

If you have had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Jennings you know why he is such a talented teacher. His ability to connect with students and encourage their artistic views is really amazing. Thank you for grit and gold!
