Jenn joined the HOPE staff as the Creative Arts teacher for middle school in the 2025-26 school year. With their three girls currently in attendance, their family has been a part of HOPE since 2018, and they immediately fell in love with the school's community. 

Jenn is a native of Arizona, blessed with an incredible Christian family, and, growing up, was a part of dance and theatre.  After high-school at Desert Vista, Jenn earned her Bachelor's in Communication and Master's in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma.

She and her husband,  Rick, got married in 2010.  She bought him a professional camera as a wedding gift, and (a running joke in our family) he only used "his gift" a few times because Jenn picked it up and started a photography business that same year - it was such a great creative outlet to shoot, edit, and design! Jenn Wagner Studios ran for 12 years before the Lord made it clear it was time to set the camera down and pick up a full mantle of motherhood.

 

Jenn feels so excited to see God sweetly opening this creative door again for her to show students who He is as Creator through teaching at HOPE! She loves Jesus first and foremost and strives to obey Him in all she does! Having always been passionate about creating, theatre, and the arts, she cannot wait to share that enthusiasm with her students.
