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.

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.

It's Teacher Appreciation Week! Mrs Anne Gartner has worked at Red Hill High School as a nurse for 4 years. There is no ‘set in stone’ daily routine for Anne, every day is different. Some days she is a nurse, and other days she is helping the school office as a secretary. Before working at Red Hill she worked for Pace Community Action Agency for 20 years. She has also worked at Crawford Memorial Hospital in the Critical Care Unit. Lastly, she has worked in Home Health. The best piece of advice Anne has received in her career overall is to “go with the flow, don’t take yourself too seriously.” Her favorite part of her day is the fact that it is something different every day, as well as the students and staff at Red Hill. Anne’s quote or words to live by are, “Strive for excellence, not perfection.” The most challenging part of her job is the limitations the state has on what she can and cannot do to help students. Something she could not live without is her computer. Outside of school her hobbies are reading and gardening. Lastly, her greatest accomplishment from her career currently is completing a school nurse emergency care care, which took a whole year. Anne, your dedication and compassion in providing medical care and support are truly appreciated. Whether it's tending to minor injuries or addressing health concerns, your expertise and nurturing nature create a comforting environment for our students. We are grateful for her presence and the valuable role she plays in ensuring the well-being of our school community. Thank you, Anne, for your exceptional care and commitment! ..............................................................................................................
