Dear Calvary Families,
 
It is with great excitement that we announce Leah Hess as our next Head of School at Calvary Christian School. As you know, this search began in December and included our School Ministry Team, experienced teachers, school parents, church leadership, and outside consultants.  We spent time listening to parents and staff as we diligently processed over thirty resumes and ten qualified candidates. We prayerfully weighed qualifications, fit, and experience of all our candidates as Mrs. Hess willingly stepped into the interim role. It was immediately apparent to us that God has been preparing Mrs. Hess for this role and, in the end, it was unanimous that she is an incredible fit to lead our school into the next season of stability and growth.
 
We are confident that Mrs. Hess will be a gifted leader for our school as she carries on the mission of sharpening minds and transforming hearts. With 14 years in education, Mrs. Hess has taught in elementary school and holds her ACSI Elementary Principal Certificate.  She came to CCS as a teacher in our Eagle Academy in 2012 and her passion for students was evident from the beginning as she sought new and fresh ways to engage each child in multi-sensory learning. Her wisdom, experience, and innovative ideas quickly propelled her into a leadership role among our teachers and administration as the Dean of Elementary in 2014. For the last few years, she has been a key partner in leading the school and has demonstrated strong spiritual leadership for both our students and staff.
 
Her steady guidance over the last three months has allowed our entire CCS community to see her heart for students and teachers, her enthusiasm for developing lifelong learners, and her commitment to reach every student regardless of learning style. She is passionate about utilizing best practices to offer our children the best educational experience and preparation for the future. She embraces our philosophy of education, understands our CCS culture and curriculum, and knows and loves each of our students. Both our faculty and parents have overwhelmingly approved of her leadership. The tone she has set in a few short months is energizing and we are excited about her collaborative, organized, and motivational leadership throughout the school.
 
We are confident about the future of CCS with Mrs. Hess as Head of School. If your student is not yet enrolled for next year, we invite you to join us for a year of growth, learning, and engagement. We are confident that your child will thrive with our incredible teaching staff and dedicated administrators under the leadership provided by Mrs. Hess.
 
Please join us in encouraging and celebrating Mrs. Hess in her new role!
 
In His grip,
