About Mrs. Onkst
Hello! This is my 8th year teaching at East Jessamine High. I also did my student-teaching at East with Mrs. Webb. I have a B.A. in English Education from the University of Kentucky. I have an M.A. in Secondary English Education from the University of Kentucky, as well. I am honored to be the 2015 East Jessamine High Teacher of the Year and the 2015 Jessamine County High School Teacher of the Year. I am passionate about teaching freshmen. My favorite part of English I is leading students in reading political texts critically, holding Socratic seminars about relevant questions in our society, and acting out Romeo and Juliet in the Spring. In my personal life, I love reading, being outdoors, and spending time with my daughter and husband.
