Why I am excited to teach at SCS: I love the small-town atmosphere that allows for great relationships and getting to know my students, parents, and coworkers well. I also love the emphasis at Sanborn on not only directing students toward Scripture, but asking students, parents, and faculty to be directed by Scripture.

What I love about SCS: The main thing I love about SCS is the community. The willingness that the society, faculty, and parents have to work together incredibly important has makes a huge task a little more manageable. The other thing that I love is the constant encouragement we have from the administration, board, and society to be in the Word and dependent upon God for the task we have before us as teachers.

Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 8:1-2 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
