High School

I have always told students to find what you are passionate about, and what you are good at, and marry the two to find a fulfilling career. I have always been very good at math and teaching other people how to do mathematics. That is how God steered me into teaching mathematics for 32 years. Over the last two years, my emphasis has now turned to building relationships with teachers and with students in an administrative role. I am honored and privileged to now work at CCS every day. We have the best staff and a great student body. Providing academic excellence, upholding God’s truth, and challenging kids to have servant’s hearts is our mission. I love waking up and coming to work knowing I am following God’s plan for my life.

As an educator at CCS God has given me an amazing opportunity to help train our youth to have a fire and passion for Him. I love that I am able to help guide, lead, and encourage students to walk and grow in their spiritual life, building their identity on a solid Biblical foundation. The more I experience and learn, the better teacher I become. This is also the mindset that I encourage for my students to adopt, look for the learning potential in every opportunity. I desire for students to leave my classroom with a thorough knowledge of the subject area, positive self-efficacy, the building of a Godly identity, and the pursuit of an intimate relationship with the Creator. Through my energy, fun-loving attitude, hard work, prayer, and continuous learning, I will create an atmosphere where students will be successfully challenged to grow.

Being a teacher is like participating in a never-ending treasure hunt! Helping students discover the treasure in themselves, in others, and in god’s world brings exciting results to the classroom and helps equip students to be successful contributors in every facet of life. I love teaching K-12 students new computer skills and how to integrate this useful knowledge into their everyday life. In addition, my time spent in Bible class is some of the most precious hours in my week as I watch students continue to grow in their Godly identity and destiny. As the high school Academic Advisor, I find it exciting to watch secondary students take what they have learned throughout 13 years of school and direct their energy and knowledge into post-secondary and career plans. Lastly, the capstone to the annual service and mission work at CCS is the senior mission to the Dominican Republic. I am so thankful for the opportunity to help lead this trip each year and to watch students better understand God’s world and their role in it.

I am so thankful to work with the students at Calhoun Christian School. Even more, God has blessed me with the opportunity to teach Spanish to all grade-levels. As a teacher and leader in the classroom, God has given me an awesome responsibility: to walk through these school years with my students, to lead them closer to God, to help them succeed academically, and to help them grow and mature according to God’s purpose. The world is ever-changing, and the ability to speak a second language is becoming more and more useful. As Christians, we have all been commissioned by Christ, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:35) I consider it a privilege to help students equip themselves for this mandate.
