I've been teaching Digital Media/TV Production going on my 14th year. I'm originally from Oswego NY, which is known as the snow capital of the world. I have two dogs, Sadie, a Weimaraner, and Elliott, a Maltipoo. I started my teaching career in my home town, revamping the TV program with new curriculum and updating the facility to a full HD studio and a production trailer, which allowed the students to get hands on experience with remote productions of various events in the schools and community. I then had an opportunity to start a program from scratch in Ithaca, NY. This allowed me to set up the curriculum, but also allowed me to build the TV studio from the ground up. This was a huge undertaking but the opportunities the students had gave them a leg up against other students in college. Then, I had another opportunity, which brought me to the Cape to set up a program here at Monomoy.

Earned a BFA in Art/Arts Education from The University of Georgia and an MAT in Creative Arts from Bridgewater State University. Jeremiah specializes in three dimensional art such as sculpture and ceramics.

Ms. Richard is the high school music teacher here in Monomoy Regional High School coming to the Cape in 2001 from a teaching position at a large international school in Mexico City, Mexico. She is a passionate and tireless advocate of music education and loves teaching both chorus and band. She grew up on Martha's Vineyard Island so is definitely a Cape Cod (and Islands) kid but when given the opportunity loves to travel to large cities and foreign countries. If she's not traveling to a foreign country she spends her free time cooking and loves to experiment with making her own kimchi and curing lamb belly and duck breast for bacon.

Graduated from Bridgewater State University with a Bachelor's in Visual Arts and Secondary Education.
