Dean of Lower School

  • Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Business and Classical Education (Hillsdale College)

Mrs. Jenson grew up in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, but also considers the Lake Superior bay town of Ashland, Wisconsin to be home. She graduated from Hillsdale College with a major in History and minors in Business and Classical Education. Cincinnati Classical’s commitment to character development and academic excellence motivated her to join the third-grade faculty in the school’s founding year.
