• Hello!  My name is Jennifer Willard.  This is going to be my ninth year teaching here at Reagan High! Go Raiders!!!  I love working here and love teaching art even more.  The Reagan visual art department has won numerous art awards and been recognized at many art shows.  I am very proud of our TWO National Scholastic Art Awards!  I am also an instructor at The Sawtooth throughout the year.

     I have a K-12 Art Education degree from UNC-Greensboro and a minor in Art History.  My passion for art started in elementary school and I knew I only wanted to be an art teacher.  I am originally from Randleman, NC and my parents and younger brother still live there.
