We are excited to share that Jodi Kessler, Digital Arts Teacher at Reading Jr./Sr. High School, has been named a 2026 Southwest Ohio Art Education Association Outstanding Art Teacher!
This recognition celebrates outstanding art educators whose dedication, creativity, and commitment make a lasting impact on students and the field of art education. Jodi’s work goes well beyond teaching students how to create, she encourages them to think creatively, develop their own voice, and use art and digital media to bring their ideas to life.
Jodi will be honored alongside other outstanding art educators from across Southwest Ohio at the 2026 SWOAEA Awards: Arts in Action celebration on Friday, September 4, at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts in Hamilton.
We are incredibly proud to have Jodi representing Reading Schools and grateful for the creativity, innovation, and passion she brings to our students every day.
Congratulations, Jodi, on this well-deserved honor!
