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 for 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 from high school in 1997 and currently hold a BA in Psychology and my MA in Education.  I then finished up a few classes at Saint Mary's University. 
I have a huge passion for art, and I look forward to helping your students find their passion for it as well.
