School Staff

We employ a team of dedicated, enthusiastic, kind, and faith-filled educators. From Early Childhood to the eighth grade, the faculty is devoted to the well-being and success of every student. All members of the faculty hold Bachelor’s Degrees, and many hold Master’s Degrees. All faculty members are certified in the State of Indiana to teach in their assigned instructional areas. They stay up to date on the most current educational trends, and have the experience to implement the best practices in the classroom.
