Specials
Art Teacher
Ms. French
I was born in a small town known as Texarkana, Texas, a little east of Dallas. It's where you can smell the rain an hour before it comes down, macaroni and cheese is a vegetable, and football is THE LAW! Humble beginnings (I was poor) made me work hard enough to get a full scholarship to the University of Texas at Arlington for track and field. I did very well. I broke a few records, I was an NCAA All-American, and I even qualified for the 2000 Olympic Trials. I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design, but I thought I was better suited for this position. I can still be creative and motivate children at the same time. Back in Texarkana we call that a "WIN-WIN"!
I am very, very tall for no reason. I am addicted to color. I absolutley love creative people... because I love to ART! I ART every chance I get.
