Middle 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.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a teacher. As a young teen, I memorized Psalm 37:4 " Delight yourself in the laws of the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." This has remained my life verse all these many years. God gave me the desires of my heart when He enabled me to become an elementary teacher over 35 years ago. It is truly a joy to work alongside parents and participate in the education of their child for one year's time.

It is a privilege to teach in a Godly environment that encourages success. It is essential to teach students how to relate the English language to our Christian faith in order to give learning purpose and direction. All children deserve a chance to learn, to grow, and to succeed no matter the age group. Middle school is a time to determine and to seek understanding for oneself. I am excited to help students determine who they are in Christ and how that relates to the rest of the world. “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12) I have been blessed beyond understanding to be able to teach English at CCS, a subject I not only love, but also am passionate about.

I love kids! Spending quality time training God’s children is such a crucial and awesome responsibility. I feel God has blessed me to be able to work with children. I enjoy teaching and spending quality time with kids and sharing God’s love. We are truly put into each situation daily not by chance but by God’s love and grace for each and every one of us. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Working at CCS allows me to share my Christian faith and love with one another. It is my prayer that each and every child grows to know Christ as they walk in God’s plan for their life. I am truly blessed to be able to work at Calhoun Christian School.

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.

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.
