HI! My name is Mrs. Jenni Howard and I am happy to serve the Gifted Education students in USD 437.

I began teaching in the Auburn-Washburn School District in 1994, right out of college. I have taught 6th grade and 1st grade, and now serve the district as a K-6 Gifted Education Facilitator. I am responsible for serving gifted students at multiple buildings in the district.

I received my Bachelor's degree and my Master's degree from The University of Kansas, where I was on the KU Track and Field team.

My husband and I have two boys and they keep us VERY busy with their school and sports schedules. We also have a purebred chocolate Labrador whose name is Hershey. We like to spend time together as a family, exploring outside, playing sports and vacationing in Colorado.
