Ms. Johnson

Hi, I'm Ms. Johnson!

I'm a Career & Technical Education educator at Les Bois, teaching Tech 7 and Career Exploration.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked in graphic design, business, and project and process management. I've taken a somewhat winding path to the classroom, but there's a pretty consistent theme through all of it: I like learning things, making things, and figuring things out.

My education has taken a winding path too. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix, an Associate Degree in Graphic Design from Stevens-Henager College, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design from Independence University. I’m currently finishing my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Idaho, which I expect to complete in December 2026.

I actually started college right out of high school planning to study psychology before realizing it wasn’t the right path for me. Some of those credits eventually became part of my business degree. I think that’s worth sharing, especially as a Career Exploration teacher: your first plan doesn’t have to be your final plan.

I'm an artist and graphic designer, and I love being outside, especially anywhere near the mountains or water. I'm also perfectly happy losing track of time because I decided to learn something about coding, cybersecurity, AI, 3D printing, a Raspberry Pi, or whatever else happened to catch my attention that week.

That same curiosity shows up in my classroom. I want students to try things they don't already know how to do. Sometimes they'll build something they're incredibly proud of. Sometimes it won't work at all. Both are useful.

I don't expect students to walk into my classroom already knowing how to do everything. I expect them to be willing to try, ask questions, learn from mistakes, help each other, and keep going.

And above everything else, our most important classroom rule is pretty simple:

Be good humans.
