Faculty & Staff

All of our faculty have a bachelor's degree and State of Wisconsin Department of Instruction certification.  All faculty members are required to continue their education.

More importantly, all the faculty and staff have professed a personal relationship with God and have made themselves accountable to Him for all they say and do.

My greatest joy about being an administrator is sharing my love of Jesus Christ with more people!  I believe I have been called by God to share the vision of Christian Education with as many people as possible.  Maintaining a distinctly Christian, excellent curriculum is what sets us apart as a school.

                      Corey Navis - Head of School

I feel so privileged to be working here at SCS!  I marvel at the way my students grow and change as they strive to do their best for God each day.  Honoring God, showing His love towards others, and unlocking the many amazing things there are to learn about our awesome God and His world are all a part of what makes each day with my students a blessing.  I especially love sharing great books with my students and helping them to begin their own awesome journey as they become independent readers themselves.  God is good!

                      Mrs. Carol LeMahieu - First Grade Teacher

The best thing about teaching is having the privilege of seeing the children's wonder and awe as they encounter God's amazing creation.

                      Mrs. June VanDerPuy - 5 year old Kindergarten Teacher

I feel blessed to be a part of the big picture of helping kids learn more about who God is by learning about his world.  More specifically, I love reading to and with kids, seeing them learn about the joys of reading for pleasure.

                      Mrs. Kathy Andringa - Second Grade Teacher/Literacy and RTI Coordinator

I am excited to be teaching third grade and feel blessed to be working alongside such dedicated teachers as these. In third grade we begin reading the familiar Bible stories directly from the Bible itself -- the first time for many.  Throughout all the subjects we investigate and marvel at the workings of God's intricate world and challenge ourselves to find our role in taking care of it.

                      Mrs. Lori TenHoor - Third Grade Teacher

I recently graduated from Dordt College and am very excited about my opportunity to teach at SCS. The school is a nuturing Christian environment that has a reputation for providing excellent Christian education.  Who wouldn't want to be a part of that!

                      Mr. Joel Navis - Fourth Grade Teacher/Technology Coordinator

I love watching a student who has been struggling with a concept for a while light up when he/she finally gets it!  It humbly reminds me of this verse, "For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

                      Mrs. Jen Atkinson - Fifth Grade Teacher

I have been teaching at SCS for 30 great years.  I have many joys to share about teaching!  I love a good discussion.  One of my greatest joys is an honest question which shows interest in the material.  I have enjoyed coaching soccer, basketball, softball, and track.  I love working with kids.  I love to see former students with families, working and serving Jesus Christ.

                      Mr. Steve VanDrunen - Middle School Teacher, Asst Principal, Athletic Director

I enjoy teaching very much; the variety in the student’s personalities and abilities makes every day and every class period unique. It is especially gratifying to see students grow in their knowledge of God and His creation and then see them later in life continue to walk faithfully before God in different careers.

                      Mrs. Laureen Leo - Middle School Teacher/Middle School Coordinator

I love teaching.  I love art.  Art is universal, non-verbal language.  Because we are created in the image of God, we all have the God-given ability to create.  My privilege as an art teacher is to teach, encourage, and coach students in creative expression that glorifies God while helping them to develop skills in a wide variety of art media.  Using the elements of art and the principles of design.  Students explore media ranging from pencils, pastels, and paint to wire, clay, and papier mache.   Throughout the year, students are exposed to a variety of famous artists, their masterpieces, and styles of art.  It thrills me when students experience gratifying success in their creative expression and when they discover the media and style of art they most enjoy.   "In teaching, I am taught."

                      Mrs. Lorri Brown - Art Teacher

In 1997 I joined the SCS staff as the general music/choir teacher.  I have the unique opportunity to teach music to students in 5K through 8th grade.  The Christian atmosphere in the school allows me to incorporate God into every aspect of music.  Philippians 1:6 has special meaning to me as a music teacher :  " The one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion."  The most rewarding part of my job is helping students to develop the talents/gifts that God has given to them and using these talents to bring glory to God.

                      Mrs. Laural Hilbelink - Music Teacher

One of the greatest rewards of teaching is witnessing the joy and excitement on children’s faces when they are engaged in their learning and proud of their accomplishments. Another special reward is hearing children excitedly relate the day’s events to their parents.

                      Mrs. Lois Otten - 3 & 4 year old Kindergarten Teacher

The joy I find in teaching is seeing the world through children's eyes and watching them discover God through His creation.

                      Mrs. Holly Kiel - Early Childhood Assistant Teacher

It has been such a blessing working with a staff dedicated to the Lord and to the students.  My job in the resource room gives me the opportunity to interact with 4th graders, 5k, lunch with 3 and 4 year olds, study hall and math with middle school.  Every child in this school is a special, unique creation by God and I thank Him every day for the blessing this job and these children have been in my life.

                      Mrs. Kim Hendrikse - Teacher's Aide

I have enjoyed being a part of the SCS staff as it allows me to serve children and families in a setting that strives to show Jesus' Lordship in every area!  In my years here, I continually marvel at what a Christian education can provide for a child.

                      Mrs. Kim Planton - Teacher's Aide
