Board of Directors

PRESIDENT

I am serving the Board and the Morning Star community because I am committed to ensuring our classical Christian education is available to as many Quad Cities students as possible. Our family believes this foundational education model is essential for all students’ faith as well as sharpening their abilities to think critically, defend truth, and enjoy the freedoms upon which our great country was founded; endowed by our Creator. Our family will continue to invest time and resources into Morning Star Academy for years to come.

BOARD TREASURER

We send our children to Morning Star because we believe the classical Christian Education provided in the Trivium shapes their character like no other form of education. In the end, we firmly believe the school will train our children to be thinkers, leaders and lovers of Jesus while at the same time serving their communities for the greater good.

SECRETARY

My husband Matt and I have two boys. We placed them at Morning Star so that our Lord Jesus Christ and His teaching would be at the center of their education. The classical Christian model is not only excellent for cultivating learning ability; it also helps protect our sons from an increasingly hostile culture that seeks to lead them away from the truth.

BOARD MEMBER

We chose Morning Star Academy because we believed it would provide our children with a solid, classically-based education. We stay and serve at MSA because we now know our experiences here are not just molding and impacting our own kids for the Kingdom but are creating a lasting impact on others to do the same as well.
