Hello Artists,

My name is Mrs. McConnell and I am the Visual Arts teacher at Kingsland High School.  I have been in the district since 2013 and started as a Para.  For the 2023/2024 school year, I finally realized my dream of being a teacher when I became the Art teacher here at Kingsland. I was delighted I could continue here at Kingsland as the district has become my home.  I teach 7th grade art and 9-12 elective art courses.  Here on my page, you can go to classes to access the Google Classroom page of all my classes.

I  live in Ostrander, MN with my spouse, daughter, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I grew up in Chatfield, MN with two brothers and my mom.  However, I am the 3rd oldest of 11!  I love all things crafty and love to crochet, sew, draw, paint, and do anything with clay.

I graduated high school in 1997, and currently hold a BA in Psychology and my MA in Education.  I am attending classes at Saint Mary's University to take care of a few extra classes.
I have a huge passion for art and I look forward to helping your students find their passion for it as well.
