I have found it to be a rewarding endeavor to recover that which has been lost. At Geneva we seek to recover the lost art of teaching and the lost tools of learning and to instill again a sense of wonderment of God and His creation. Education, then, is in part preservation—“the breathing of the soul of one generation into the next.” This enculturation safeguards the good, the true, and the beautiful, forwarding these ideals into future generations. But education is also cultural transformation, an intentional leading out of the complex darkness of ignorance into the light of God’s revealed Truth.

My zeal for The Geneva School stems from the fact that these ideals are becoming incarnated in this community of faith and learning. We believe that wisdom surpasses knowledge, that Truth can be known and apprehended, that grace ought to characterize our relationships, and that beauty must adorn our philosophy and lives. Only then can we escape from nominalism to the reality of virtuous scholarship under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Being involved with such a school affords me the opportunity to fulfill my calling within Christ’s Kingdom.

I have taught 6th graders, 60-year-old graduate students, and practically every age group in between. At no level, however, do I as a teacher/administrator have more opportunity to help in the formation of wise and eloquent disciples of Christ than I do here at Geneva. This is what education is all about: not the downloading of data from one brain to another (though the data are important), not the teaching of comparative “values” (we don’t have values, we have truth), but rather to assist in the shaping of minds and the steeling of wills. The former is important because ideas have consequences, as the late Richard Weaver reminded us; the latter, because bad ideas are pernicious and unrelenting.

May God grant to The Geneva School community a common—and unrelenting—commitment to the good, the true, and the beautiful, all of which find their source in Him.

As a second generation teacher, my passion for working with students and teachers is a natural result of growing up in a loving, Christian family in a small city in Mississippi.  My forty years in education serving as a public school teacher, public school principal, principal of a school in a prison for boys, and teacher in a Christian classical school have been a delight on a daily basis.  As I have grown in my walk with Christ, it has become clearer each day that the purpose of teaching is to give students the tools to glorify God within the area they are called to serve.  To this end, my desire is to assist teachers in providing students with the needed tools to pursue their calling.    To God be the glory!
