Kenzie McKeon, art teacher, poses with the 2010 MHS Yearbook. McKeon was voted “Most Likely to Work at MHS.”
Four years at MHS. Five years at Mizzou. Two years at Fort Zumwalt South. Finally, Kenzie McKeon, art teacher, is back at MHS for the 2017-2018 school year.
“It just feels like home,” McKeon, Class of 2010, said. “It’s really cool to be amongst a lot of my old teachers and now they’re my colleagues. Sharing a classroom with one of my old teachers is really awesome.”
In the 2010 senior issue of the Messenger, McKeon appears on the superlatives page and above her photo, in white font, it reads “Most Likely to Work at MHS.”
“I was pretty involved in high school and I loved Marquette,” McKeon said. “Wanting to be a teacher plus loving this school was widely known amongst my peers. That’s why they voted for me.”
Prior to becoming an art teacher at MHS, McKeon taught graphic design, digital art and art fundamentals at Fort Zumwalt South for two years.
McKeon found her niche in art as a student at MHS.
“Art was like my thing here so I took six art classes while I was here at Marquette,” McKeon said. “I was involved in art a lot, and then decided to become an art teacher and go to school for that in college. This was my ultimate goal, to be back here.”
