GOODBYE,
continued from Page A1
year, Heimerdinger, along with
his wife, Erin, and two kids,
Atticus (11) and Scarlett (8),
will be moving to Los Olivos,
Calif. where he will be teaching
at San Luis Obispo High
School and will be teaching in
the media production program.
Heimerdinger stated that
the reason for the move was to
be closer to his wife's family in
California. While he is excited
to take on a new challenge,
Heimerdinger will greatly miss
the kids and program that he
has poured his heart into for
nearly two decades.
“I will miss working with all
the really ambitious students. I
have made great relationships
with those students and I
appreciate the hard work and
I like the fact that they are
always asking me questions,”
Heimerdinger said. “In general,
I'm going to miss all the
relationships from growing up
in this town and being a teacher
in this building.”
“Those ties are going to
be hard to cut, but I trust that
whoever comes in next will also
recognize that student ambition
and work with them well.”
Heimerdinger has taught a
multitude of different media
related classes at McNary,
including video production,
intro to digital media, media
production internship, media
production workshop and fi lm
appreciation.
While the technological
world continues to change year
after year, Heimerdinger also
has shifted the way he teaches
his course.
“We have started doing a lot
more social media work with
Facebook and Twitter, as well
as managing of the school's
website,” Heimerdinger said.
“We have really shifted the
focus on creating content and
putting it up online, rather than
making videos and showing
them to the school in the
commons.”

Jason Heimerdinger in more recent times with wife, Erin, son,
Atticus, and daughter, Scarlett.
Heimerdinger
fi rst
developed a passion for video
editing and production as a
freshman at McNary under
the tutelage of teacher Mike
Markee. Heimerdinger learned
all about video editing with a
VCR, and later in the school
year, he was a student anchor
for school announcements that
would play in the morning in
every room.
“I was just totally inspired
by Mike Markee's video
production
program,”
Heimerdinger said. “I just
fi lled my schedule with video
production elective classes. I
knew I wanted to follow this as
a career path.”
After
high
school,
Heimerdinger was hungry to
learn more about the fi eld that
he grew to fall in love with,
which is why he moved down
to Los Angeles to major in
communication arts/fi lm and
television production.
As
he
was
going
through higher education,
Heimerdinger didn't really have
being a teacher on his radar.
But that all changed in his
senior year of college.
In December of 1999,
Heimerdinger came back to
Keizer during winter break
and was able to reconnect with
Markee over dinner.
Markee told Heimerdinger
that we was planning on retiring
and the end of the school year
and that McNary was actively
looking for someone to take
over the program.
“I just kind off the cuff told
him that I was graduating and
that if they needed anybody,
I will be looking for a job,”
Markee said. “We laughed and
chuckled about it.”
What may have been
perceived as a joke at the time
would soon turn into reality.
Just a week later, while he
was sitting in his dorm room,
Heimerdinger got a call from
his old teacher, who explained
to him that if he was really
willing to come back, McNary
would like to conduct an
interview with him to put him
up for hiring consideration.
And six months later, the rest
is history.
“My initial plan was not to
be a teacher. I always thought
I was going to work and
produce content somehow.
But it ended up being my
full-time job and it gave me
the opportunity to come back
home,” Heimerdinger said.
“It was exciting to be able
to take the wheel from Mike
Markee and continue to drive
the program.”
Over the course of his tenure
at McNary, Heimerdinger has
had some exceptional students
who went on to purse a
multimedia-related career. But
there is one who stands out
above the rest.
Zeek Earl fi rst stepped foot
in Heimerdinger's class in 2003.
And for the next four years,
he fully immersed himself in
everything that Heimerdinger
had to offer.
After
graduating
from
McNary in 2006, Earl elected
not to go into media production
and wound up attending Seattle
Pacifi c University to study
English.
While in college, Earl met
Chris Caldwell, and the two
formed a production company
called Shep Films.
While they initially wrote
and directed short fi lms and
commercials, Earl and Caldwell
co-wrote and co-directed a
full-length feature fi lm called
Prospect, a science-fi ction movie
that hit theaters in November
of last year.
The fi lm got resounding
praise from critics, receiving
a 90 percent grade from
the review website, Rotten
Tomatoes.
Earl came back to Keizer for
a Nov. 16 screening at Salem
Cinema, where he took part in
a Q-&-A that was moderated
by Heimerdinger.
“It
was
incredibly
meaningful to have Jason visit
the set of my fi rst feature fi lm
and then host the Q-&-A when
it screened in Salem. I’ve gotten
the opportunity to talk to a few
of his more recent students and
it was really cool to see that he
has now mentored empowered
generations
of
aspiring
fi lmmakers,” Earl said.
Ever since his fi rst day at
McNary, Heimerdinger has
written all his own curriculum,
so to see one of his students
succeed in this fashion has
been very affi rming to him —
especially since Earl didn't take
any other media production
classes after high school.
“To have Zeek launch
himself so thoroughly into a
professional career just because
of those foundational things that
he learned at McNary really
did help me understand that
what I was doing was having an
impact,” Heimerdinger said.
Even though he is leaving,
it's clear to see Heimerdinger's
impact on McNary, as well as
the Keizer community.
“The strongest part of
McNary High School is the
sense of community. There
is a lot of tradition here,”
Heimerdinger
said. “The
faculty, the students and the
community all appreciate those
traditions and try and maintain
them and to create good
opportunities for all the kids
that are going to be entering
into the school and I really
appreciate that.”
