Alumna in the Classroom: Creativity Continues to Spark!
Visual Arts Teacher Ms. Terise Janca '93 has been bringing creativity to life in the classroom for years, and this school year was no exception. The longtime visual arts teacher recently expanded opportunities for students through hands-on stained glass, mosaic and Raku art experiences, encouraging students to explore new artistic mediums in and outside of the classroom.
After a successful launch of stained glass and mosaic projects made possible through generous alumnae and community donations, Ms. Janca introduced students to the art of Raku firing this spring on the Howley Terrace, giving students the opportunity to experience another unique and interactive art form firsthand.
The creativity and talent within Saint Joseph Academy’s visual arts program also continued to shine beyond campus this year. Congratulations to the many SJA students whose artwork was selected for the 2026 Northeast Ohio Art Education Youth Art Month Regional Exhibition, featuring more than 100 student works from across Northeast Ohio in March. We are grateful for educators like Ms. Janca who continue to inspire the next generation of Jaguar artists through experimentation and hands-on learning.
