Christ centered in all we do!
Christian Unified is a blessed place. The second you walk on campus, you can feel it. You can see God in the authentic smiles and deep joy from the students. You see Him in the genuine love and concern from the teachers and staff. You see Him throughout the curriculum and discussions around campus. God is here.
My two daughters and I were welcomed into the West family with open arms and immediately felt that we were right where we were supposed to be. We were home.
I spent 30 years in public school and saw the results of a secular education. I need to be in a Christ centered environment and am excited to share Jesus with my students.
I love teaching Kindergarten. I love the growth that occurs throughout the year both spiritually and academically. I love the energy in the classroom and the joy and pride each child expresses when they learn something new!
I enjoy spending time with my husband, three daughters, and three dogs. I especially love gardening, reading, attending theatre productions, Bible-journaling, and hanging out at the beach. I love coffee, Mexican food, and the color purple.
I love the Lord and love working with children. Teaching at Christian has given me the opportunity to do both. I have the added bonus of being on the same campus as my children. The ability to work in a Christian environment has been an incredible blessing!
At Christian Unified, I am able to teach in a way that allows a better understanding of this world and a knowledge of our Heavenly Father's constant care.
I grew up in San Diego, served a short time in the Army, went to Vanguard University. I've coached a number of sports, my favorite is basketball. I have 3 daughters that play on the soccer team.
James 1:12 ... "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to ...
I chose to work as a counselor in order to help kids discover their strengths and talents. Each student comes to school with different motivations. My job it is help students discover their interests and to support their goal formation while building a plan for the future.
I teach because it fills me so much joy to pour into the lives of children. At Christian I have the opportunity to share God’s word and speak Truth to the students. There is nothing more rewarding than to see children enjoy the subject I am teaching, and incorporate their Christian faith into what they are doing.
I choose to work for Christian Unified so I can work with students in a Christian environment and show them God’s love each day. I love working with colleagues where we can pray, and have fellowship with one another too.
I love teaching from a Biblical perspective and encouraging children to seek and grow in the Lord and in His wisdom.
I believe in the whole-person approach to teaching, but this was never completely true for me in the public school setting. Now, as a teacher at Christian Junior High, I am able to truly fulfill this philosophy of teaching as I can teach academic subject matter, social-emotional concepts, and explore the spiritual life.
Philippians 4:13—"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
