Team Profiles

I think what makes Lighthouse Academies amazing and transformational is the high expectations we have for our scholars. We demand nothing less than excellence, and our scholars enthusiastically rise to the occasion! In my classroom, our mantra is "why be acceptable, when you can be exceptional and make our community and the world a better place.” It is truly inspiring to see our scholars bloom into the leaders of tomorrow.

One of the things that I am always impressed with is the above and beyond interest all of the adults at our school take in our scholars. They work to develop strong relationships with scholars and their families, and it feels more like an extended family than a school. Every adult in the school takes responsibility for teaching scholars social skills and caring for them so that they feel connected and loved every time they come to school.

Prior to joining Lighthouse Academies, my experiences within education were very limited to my current surroundings in Indiana. Being part of a national network has allowed me the opportunity to collaborate and network with esteemed educators all across the United States who share my passion for education. The amount of expertise and professionalism that exists within the network is an overwhelming reminder that the future of our youth lie in the hands of many talented and caring individuals.
