Board of Directors
The Trimont Christian Academy's Board of Directors is a group of leaders designated to help lead TCA by making short and long term decisions, setting policy, managing school finances, and aiding in the building of a sense of community among TCA families. Our Board is currently made up of four members, but they are always looking to expand. Our Board meets every third Thursday of the month, August through May. Summer meetings are based on "needs-based" topics.
They can be reached at board@trimont-academy.org.

How long have you and your family been involved at TCA? 15 years
What is your connection with TCA? All of our kids have been students at TCA. In 2007, we enrolled our oldest son in Kindergarten. All three of our children graduated from TCA, our youngest last year (2023). Currently have a step-grandchild that is attending kindergarten.
Why is Christian Education so important to you and your family? Without a doubt, we want our kids to be taught, trained and raised with a Christian worldview. We want them to be fully equipped to carry out whatever it is God has them do in life.
Favorite Bible Story? The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)

In what year did you first become involved with Trimont? 2019
How are you connected with TCA? I serve as the PTO Secretary this year and my son is in first grade.
Why is Christian Education so important to you? I feel it is crucial for my child growing up in a world that has forgotten our Creator. I did not grow up in a Christian school, but did attend church every Sunday and Wednesday for the most part. I see the horrendous agendas that have been pushed in the public schools. I remember growing up and learning about the Evolution Theory in science. It was pretty much the only explanation for our existence other than the Big Bang Theory. I was so confused because my early childhood education didn’t even talk of the Creation, that I believe to not be a theory, but truth. I want my child to grow up learning and having God reinforced in his life to be truth. I want my child to grow up learning God’s Word. To me that is the most important aspect of our lives.
