Meet Our Team

Whitney was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado.  Her family moved to The Woodlands, TX where she attended The Woodlands High School, graduating in 2006. She attended Kansas State University, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics. She returned to the Houston area to her first teaching position in the Klein Independent School District (ISD) in Spring, TX. . While teaching, Whitney earned a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  She served on a writing team that rewrote the math curriculum for Klein ISD to match new TEKS. Whitney was also honored as the 2013 Lemm Elementary Teacher of the Year. She also earned a Masters degree in Educational Leadership with a desire to one day become a Principal. Her desire was soon realized as she became an Assistant Principal at Mueller Elementary, in Klein ISD.  She was in the position for a year when she made the decision to support her husband’s career and follow him wherever his job took them. It was during those four moves and seven years of staying at home with her three children, that she grew in her relationship with the Lord. Whitney looks back at that “career” change as being monumental in her faith journey. God also laid on her heart to enroll her children at Montgomery Christian Academy.  Whitney’s passion for education became reignited.  She was selected to serve on the school board at MCA. She had a desire to make an impact and to help the school continue to grow as a Christ minded, academically challenging environment. Whitney is excited to now take the next step and become the Assistant Head of School at MCA bringing a new perspective to the role while advocating for high-quality education, ensuring alignment with academic standards, and creating opportunities for students to thrive. She is excited to build on the school’s successes and support its continued growth.
