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.

I am so thankful to be part of a network that shares the same views as I do in education. I strongly believe in and stand by LHA’s core values and mission as an educator and a parent. I’m also very thankful to be able to go to other states and meet people who share the same feelings as I do about their job. I love my job! I love changing lives one hug at a time. Thank you Lighthouse for this opportunity.
