I have been a teacher for most of the past thirty years -- essentially for most of my adult life. For the past five years, I have been blessed to teach AP English Language and Composition--affectionately known as AP Lang-- at Berean Christian High School.

AP Lang focuses on the art of rhetoric and the importance of critical thinking--both in reading, writing, and in consuming rhetorical works. The course teaches students how rhetoric works so that they can be informed citizens, wary of manipulation or deceit, while able to appreciate effective and civil communication. I see academics as an act of worship and feel so blessed to be a part of Berean Christian's mission to work in the lives of our students.
