About Mrs. Johnson

Hi! I am Denise Johnson and I am a second grade teacher here at Union Ridge. This will be my ninth year here but my fourth year in second grade! I grew up in this beautiful community and since I loved it so much I came back to continue my teaching here as well! I earned my teaching degree at Concordia University where I played Basketball and Softball. A couple years, I also received my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on being a Reading Specialist!

I am happily married to my husband, Ryan and we have four bundles of joy, our daughters Sofia and Maylee, our son Liam and our dog, Gus! When I am not spending my time in the classroom, I am spending it with family and friends. We love playing sports, traveling, boating, hosting events. taking walks, going to the park and watching movies.
