David Jernigan
Art Educator
I have been teaching art for over twenty years, with the majority of my career in the elementary school setting. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio, a teaching credential from Eastern Michigan University, and a master’s degree in educational technology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). I am proud to be the third generation in my family to pursue a career in teaching. My parents and grandmother all dedicated their lives to the profession. As an art teacher, I find joy in helping students discover the creative potential within themselves. I love incorporating science, history, and geography into my art lessons, creating a cross-disciplinary approach that broadens students’ understanding of the world. I live in Las Vegas with my wonderful wife and our two amazing sons.
