About Ms. Fouts
Hello! My name is Julie Fouts. This will be my third year teaching at Ventana Vista. I am very excited to work in such a beautiful and inspiring setting.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio. I always enjoyed playing and using my imagination. I always loved drawing as a child, but really found my love art in High School. My Art teacher really encouraged me to go to art school. I worked hard on my porfolio and submitted it to The Columbus College of Art and Design. I was accepted! I graduated in 2002 with a Bachelors in Fine Arts. My focus was sculpture and paintings. After college I knew I wanted more. I always loved helping my art teacher. I really respected how she saw something in me and wanted to inspire that. I decided to try out being a teacher. I started subbing and the first job I got was for a kindergarten art class. I came home covered in marker and glitter , looked at my fiance (at the time) and smiled and knew this was for me! While getting a second degree for education from Ashland University, I planned my wedding. I married Scott in 2004. After graduating from Ashland University I got a job at a small private college prep school called Southern Hills Academy. I taught K-10th grade art. We created many wonderful pieces of art. In 2006 my husband and I decided we had had enough of winter and decided to move west. I got a job offer before I left the state! I started working in Sunnyside School District on the south side of Tucson. I worked at two schools for the seven years I taught there: Santa Clara Elementary and Gallego Elementary. Both are great schools. I knew and felt I was ready for a change and am very happy I get to start a new chapter of my teaching career at Ventana Vista!
When I am not teaching, I enjoying spending time with my family. I have a beautiful and energetic five year old named Ava and a handsome husband. When Im not teaching or sewing fun clothing, I am running. I am currently trainning for my first half marathon!
