Mrs. Jensen

Middle School

Howard Carden Carpinteria

Mrs. Jensen does not teach History at The Howard School, but she is definitely a part of our history.  She began her career as a second grade student at The Howard School’s Montecito location.  After graduating from Principia College, she taught The Mae Carden Method to 1st and 2nd graders in China for a year before coming back to the states.  Upon her return home in 2003, she was offered a position teaching Spelling, Language and Composition to our 5th through 8th Graders.  One of Mrs. Jensen’s goals is to help students figure out what they don’t know vs. what they do know and guide them on this path of discovery.  “My favorite event each year is our week long middle school field trip.  Seeing how the students conduct themselves away from school and family always reassures me that we are making a difference in their lives. They are on their way to being very good citizens and I am proud of them.” says, Mrs. Jensen.
