ILS has been a great place to teach for so many years as well as a great school for my two children. I have enjoyed being a part of the ILS community where staff, students and parents work together to promote spiritual and academic growth.
The best part about following Jesus is…
The best part about following Jesus is knowing He is always there for me – no matter what I am going through or what is happening in this world, He is right beside me.
Why do you feel called into Christian education?
I became a Lutheran teacher because I grew up in Lutheran schools and wanted to impact students the way my life was impacted.
What do you love most about teaching?
The thing I love most about teaching students at ILS is sharing the love of Jesus with them every day as well as guiding them to become life-long learners.
