Our Team
At Grace Community Academy, we believe that education is about more than academics. It's about building relationships, nurturing character, and helping students discover who God created them to be.
Our team is made up of dedicated educators, administrators, and staff who share a passion for serving students and partnering with families. Each member of our team brings unique gifts, experience, and a heart for creating an environment where students feel known, valued, challenged, and loved.
Together we are committed to providing a Christ-centered education that equips students to grow both academically and spiritually. We are honored to walk alongside our families!

GCA is a very special place to work. As a military spouse who has moved often, I have taught at various schools and GCA quickly welcomed me as a new teacher. They made me feel right at home and part of the community. The kids are also very respectful, sweet and hardworking.
