Hello, I’m Candace Jacobs, the K-12 art teacher. I have been teaching for 6 years. I started my career at the Lac Courte Orielles Ojibwe School. After getting my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of WI-River Falls, I went back to get my teaching license. I have been working in community art education for over 10 years with a major area of focus in ceramics. In my free time, I love being active outside and enjoying all the U.P. has to offer. In my classes we work to build confidence and a greater understanding of art techniques and ideas. I love meeting all of the artists that live in this area. I feel blessed to be in a community of great parents and students.

High School curriculum is rotated biannually with Elements of Art, perspective, observational drawing, and the Principals of Design being covered annually.
