Why I teach at CPLS: Providing children a strong, safe place to learn and grow in their faith is the reason I love to teach at CPLS. You can’t lead students to a good life without building a strong faith and education; as a teacher I am privileged to hopefully be a small part of that journey to the best life Christ has for them. Teaching students, and sharing theirs laughs, learning, and lives, has, and continues to be, a great source of happiness to me. I firmly believe in classical education and children thrive in a more focused, distraction-free environment. All three of my children attended, or are attending, CPLS. Listening to their conversations, and the depth and knowledge of truth and faith they have because of their education, there is absolutely no doubt that CPLS is the best education I can offer my kids. I just love being a part of the school that allows me to provide other students the same wonderful experiences my kids have benefitted from.
Personal Testimony: Being raised in a Christian home, I accepted Jesus at seven. Accepting Christ at a young age set me on the right path, and I am so thankful to my parents for being strong Christian leaders. I’ve continued to follow Christ and am continually being refined and seeking His glory.
