Hello, my name is Mrs. McKown & this is my 13^th year of teaching high school art. I started working at East Knox in 2012, then, after 3 years, went to River View to teach for 5 years, then returned to teach at East Knox in the fall of 2020. I graduated from Utica High School in 2005, and received both my bachelor’s (Hospitality Management) degree and master’s (Art Education) degree from The Ohio State University. I enjoy learning new things and I try to continually improve what I teach and how I teach every single year.

My husband, Wess, teaches high school social studies at the Career Center. He is currently only coaching East Knox flag football with our son, but in previous years he coached varsity softball for 17 years, all levels of football for 14 years, track for 4 years and junior high basketball (boys/3 years, girls/4 years) combined between coaching at East Knox, Marietta and Fort Frye. To say that he is passionate about coaching is an understatement. We have a 5 year old son, Oakey, and an (almost) 2 year old son, Bodie.

I enjoy creating many different kinds of art forms and therefore I would like to explore a wide variety of art mediums with all of my students, while still covering what is required to meet the Ohio Visual Arts Content Standards set by the Ohio Department of Education. I’m excited to watch all of my students learn and grow as I will also learn and grow with them. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. The best way to reach me is through email. Thank you very much. Go Bulldogs!
