I am excited to announce updates to the LCA Administration team for the 2024-25 school year:

• Mrs. Teresa Johnson will be joining the team as Elementary Principal,
• Mr. Chris Polanco will be joining the team as Middle/High School Vice Principal, and
• Mrs. Dionne Wilson will be taking the position as Middle/High School Principal.

Mrs. Teresa Johnson, Elementary Principal

Mrs. Johnson comes to us with 20 years of experience as an educator in multiple schools including private Christian schools, public schools, and charter schools. This is a kind of a homecoming for her as she served as a sub for about a year, then PK4-1st grade teacher for 11 years (from 1998 to 2010). Mrs. Johnson holds certifications in Elementary Education, ESL (English as a Second Language), and SPEC (Special Education) along with a certification from ACSI. Teresa and her husband, Kenny, are active members of Westover Hills Assembly of God, serving in the Women’s Special Events ministry and the Audio/Visual ministry, respectively.

Mr. Chris Polanco, Middle/High School Vice Principal

Mr. Polanco has accepted the position as our Vice Principal for Middle and High School. He has served as an educator in Christian schools for 22 years including roles as teacher, coach, athletic director, and administrator. Chris and his wife, Rebekah, along with their three children are active members of Freedom Life Center where Chris serves in the men’s ministry.

Mrs. Dionne Wilson, Middle/High School Principal

I’m also happy to announce that Mrs. Wilson has accepted the position as Principal of our Middle and High School. Mrs. Wilson has over 14 years of experience in Christian education (13 years with LCA) as a teacher and administrator as well as several years home schooling. She has a deep love and commitment to LCA going all the way back to being part of the second graduating class of LCA/Rainbow Hills Baptist School. Dionne and her husband 😊 are active members of The Hills Church where she serves in women’s and children’s ministry.

I am excited about our administration team for this coming school year! Each of them brings unique strengths and years of experience in education, both in teaching and administration. But even more importantly each of them has years of walking earnestly and humbly with Christ. They all bring a deep commitment to Kingdom Education principles of partnering with families to lead our students, faculty, and staff to have a biblical worldview and to walk with Christ.

 

In Christ and For His Glory,
