About Me:

My name is Jenny Winfield and this is my 11th year teaching at Cedar Hill High School. Prior to teaching at Cedar Hill I was a substitute teacher while working towards my teaching certificate.  Prior to working towards my teacher certification, I worked in retail as a Commission sales associate, and as a Retail Manager.  I can provide concrete help with those scholars who are entering a working environment for the first time.   

I was born into Art.  Both of my parents were/are art teachers. My father taught art at Tarrant County College from 1968 until he retired in 2006. In the summer I would often accompany him to school and would sit in his  ceramics classes and create, work with printmaking, sit in on his art appreciation classes and  also modeled for his drawing classes.

I’m happily married and have 4 dogs and 1 cat.  All dogs are toy dog breed of papillon. We used to breed them and sell puppies, but they aged out and are happily retired as our beloved pets. Our Cat is a Snowshoe named Bronteroc.  During college and just after college I managed a pet store in Fort Worth. 

A bit of fun information, My husband, Terry and I are active Pokemon go players and run a community of over 2,000 players in Arlington primarily, and do have some other members on our discord from various places around the world.  We are the top players in the DFW area and love to help new players learn the game. 

I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of my scholars and looking forward to a creative and fun filled classroom.

I sponsor Art Club and Pokemon Club
