We are lucky to have such a dedicated and experienced teacher like Mrs. Jones at our school! .............................................................................................................. As a project in Ms. Tussey's business classes, the students have worked tirelessly to put together an insightful and heartwarming series of Teacher Spotlights. They have interviewed their teachers, designed images, and developed the content you will see throughout the week. Each day you will see new posts that will highlight the teachers, administrators, and staff of Red Hill Jr/Sr High School. These spotlights are a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by our teachers and staff, who have tirelessly worked to support the growth and development of our students.

It's Teacher Appreciation Week! Mrs. Taylor is the Art teacher at Red Hill High School. Under her painter’s smock, she has 5 years of experience teaching and is even one of the main sponsors for the school’s art club. She teaches 8th Grade Art, Art Foundations I and II, Painting and Drawing I and II, 3D Design I and II, and Advanced Studio. Whenever she was asked about her inspiration for becoming a teacher, she simply answered that she loves art and has always wanted to be a teacher, especially when she was younger. In order to keep education fun and entertaining, Mrs. Taylor likes to keep her art projects engaging and relevant as well as finding artists that her students can find relatable or interesting. As a teacher, one of her biggest challenges with teaching is whenever she gets students that aren’t confident in their artistic abilities. In order to help these kids, Mrs. Taylor does her very best to open their eyes to the world of art and help them discover their inner inspiration. However, one of the most challenging situations she had to face as a teacher was Covid, which was a time that was difficult for most teachers but especially art teachers since art is a class that is mostly in-person and very hands-on. She did her very best to accommodate her online students during the mandated quarantine. In contrast, Mrs. Taylor loves hosting her students at art shows and displaying to the world how much they’ve improved since they first started her class. Similarly, an especially proud moment within her career as an art teacher was whenever one of her students won the Congressional Art Competition for the State of Illinois. Mrs. Taylor is an exceptionally positive person and greatly dislikes any form of negativity, especially within her classroom. One of her most recommended books for teaching is ArtCurious: Stories of the Unexpected, Slightly Odd, and Strangely Wonderful in Art History. Another tool that she believes to be extremely important for her teachings would be her document camera and paper cutter. In Mrs. Taylor’s personal time she enjoys reading, art, listening to podcasts, and running her Etsy shop online. During the school day, her favorite time of the day would have to be what she refers to as ‘morning coffee time’ whenever she visits the school’s library in order to get her daily dose of caffeine. Overall, Mrs. Taylor is an exceptionally creative teacher that strives for positivity, creativity, and self expression within her work environment. Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Taylor! ..............................................................................................................
