Hello! My name is Jeni Demler and this is my 20th year of teaching and my 2nd year of teaching at IHM. I teach Physical Education to all grades at IHM. My husband, Jim and I have 3 wonderful children (I have 2 daughters and a stepson). Jocelyn is a Senior at Villa Madonna Academy and Madelyn is a sophomore at SHDHS. My stepson, Cameron, is 24 years old and works at St Elizabeth. My husband, Jim, is the Athletic Director at SHDHS. Both of my daughters graduated from IHM and loved their time as a Saint!


I graduated from St Henry District High School where I played Varsity volleyball all 4 years. I went to Eastern Kentucky University on a full volleyball scholarship. I received my Masters in Exercise Science from Eastern Kentucky University in 2002. I also have a Masters in Health Education and Physical Education which I received from Xavier University in 2005. I am also a Certified Health and Life Coach and received my certification in 2022!

In addition to teaching full time, I am the Head Freshman Volleyball Coach at SHDHS. I am also a Certified Health and Fitness Coach and have my own coaching business where I meet with clients after school hours. 

Health and Fitness have always been a passion of mine. My goal is to provide a positive  environment that is welcoming to students of all fitness levels and to show them they are capable of being successful in fitness and that being physically active is fun!
