Why do you work for Christian Unified?
I choose to work at Christian Unified because I believe that our profession requires that we do more than teach a subject, it requires that we help prepare our students for life after high school. This charge requires us to help raise our students up in His ways, so that they have a solid foundation upon which to build their future. An education without knowing our Savior is of very little value. I believe that education must be grounded in Truth and teaching at Christian Unified allows us that opportunity.

Interesting facts:
I love sports, including football, over-the-line, golf, and just about anything else which involves outdoor activity. I love spending time in Montana and coaching football at Christian High, where I am the offensive-line coach for both the Varsity and the Junior Varsity teams, as well a being the Head Coach for the JV team. I have two children, both of whom are now grown and who love the Lord. I grew up in El Cajon but I attended the University of North Dakota, where I played football. I have been a practicing attorney since 1996, but I have always wanted to teach. I hope to spend the rest of my working career teaching at Christian Unified.

IN MEMORY OF OUR FOUNDER

It is with sadness that we share that the co-founder of our school district, Dr. Beverly LaHaye, passed away on Sunday, April 14. She was 94 years old.

Beverly was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ all the days of her life, and God used her in extraordinary ways to make a difference in the world around her. Along with her husband Dr. Tim LaHaye, she worked to establish Christian Unified Schools at a time when Christian education was in its infancy. She had a vision to meet the need for God-honoring curriculum and teachers who modeled Christlikeness to the students in their care, and she worked tirelessly to that end.

In addition to her influence on our school district, Beverly was also the author of many books, the founder of Concerned Women for America, and a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a faithful and treasured member of Shadow Mountain Community Church, where she was honored recently during the GirlTime women’s event. As the audience stood to applaud, Beverly pointed upward, giving all of the glory to the God she served.
