Favorite thing about LCCS: I love being able to share Jesus while teaching my favorite subject: ENGLISH!!

Favorite Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

I am definitely here because of the Lord’s leading! I came here when the new high school was first built and have enjoyed watching the school grow in numbers and spiritually. My prayer for my students is: 1)that they would always remember that the teachers loved them, 2) that they would leave with the knowledge of salvation, and 3) that they would never feel like they can’t defend their faith.
