Mrs. Amanda Tanner
Hello! My name is Mrs. Tanner and this will be my fifth year teaching Art. I am excited about an amazing year ahead exploring different mediums and working with young artists. I especially love working with clay! I previously taught K-8 Art and high school ceramics in the valley. During my time teaching, I was active in athletics as a cheer and track coach.
I grew up in Michigan and attended Michigan State University. I graduated with a B.F.A. in Art Education and was awarded with the Outstanding Senior Award of my graduating class for my academic and community achievements. I have a love for learning and completed a study abroad program in Australia. I also completed a yearlong internship teaching K-12 Art while working towards a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Teaching.
I have lived in Arizona for thirteen years and absolutely love it. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children who are also students at LMES that I love spending time with. I enjoy running with my rescue dog, Pepper, and running races. I have run several marathons in the past and look forward to adding more medals to my collection in the future. I am happy to be joining the Lone Mountain team.
