Meet Mrs. Mukkada, our fantastic Visual Art and ELL teacher, bringing eight years of teaching experience to Des Moines Public Schools. Her teaching adventure began in Paris, France, working with the French Embassy. A graduate of Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, Iowa, she also earned a Master of Science in Education from Long Island University.
Mrs. Mukkada is not just a teacher; she’s super passionate about helping students get creative and succeed, not just in school but in life too. With her dedication and lively approach, she makes learning awesome for our school community! ?
Meet Ashley Wisgerhof, the artistic maestro with a paintbrush and a knack for making art class a blast. Armed with a BA in Art Education from Grand View University (with a painting flair) and a Masters in Education from Drake, she’s been jazzing up the art scene for ten years. When she’s not turning canvases into masterpieces, you’ll find her leading the art club, cracking jokes, and convincing students that even paint spills can be a form of avant-garde expression. Oh, and rumor has it, nature blushes in her presence – she loves it that much! ??
