    "Teaching at LCA allows me to be a part of the growth in students academically, but more importantly their spiritual formation. I love seeing the growth as they move through the grades. After 10 years at LCA, I am excited to see students I had in first grade move on and be successful. I know their education at LCA helps form strong disciples for Christ as well as academically strong students."

    "Before choosing Lighthouse, I was candidating for several other Head of School positions. What ultimately drew me to Lighthouse was the strong sense of community among both parents and staff. The team here was genuinely interested in me as a person, not simply as someone to fill a role. From day one, the love and support I’ve experienced has been tremendous. Through both highs and lows, everyone sticks together, and I love that. It beautifully demonstrates what it means to be the body of Christ."
