About Me

Who am I?

Hello! My name is Samantha Preston, and I am the Onalaska High School's Art teacher. Here's a little about me: 

I'm a Washingtonian, and grew up in Tenino. While in High School I participated in many clubs and activities, such as FFA, National Honor Society, and sports. I graduated from Tenino High School and went to Centralia College for my AA with an emphasis in design. While at Centralia College, I worked on the side as a graphic designer. I transferred to UW Seattle where I got my Bachelors in Drama. I finished my Master's in Teaching at Saint Martin's University and began working right away. I worked as an English teacher at Rochester High School before coming to OHS in 2020. Even though I started out as an English teacher, my dream has always been to teach a variety of art classes. I live in the area with my husband and children, and I love serving the community. 

Things I like to do in my free time include spending time with my family, watching theatre, video gaming, reading, and art. I also love to cook, and sometimes enjoy sharing my baking with the class when possible. I care greatly about each and every one of my students and want to see them succeed.
