Please briefly describe your journey to Faith Christian School and what attracted you to the school.

After moving back to Roanoke with my husband's ministry opportunity, a FCS teacher talked to me about her Faith. With her encouragement, I substituted at Faith and another Christian school in the area. After meeting students, faculty and administration at Faith, I saw first hand their classical model of training students to reason logically, write well, read excellent literature, and speak persuasively and articulately were impressive. Best of all was the emphasis on Christian worldview. When the opportunity opened, I was thrilled to join the team.

Classical education focused on Christ, a Christian worldview, and defending the Christian faith in a world confused about truth is paramount to sharing our faith with others.

What or who inspired you to work in education?

A math teacher, Mr. Lew, who had trouble explaining algebra to the class. He would encourage me to put it in words the students would understand. I loved it!
