Comments: Shortly after my wife and I moved to northern Kent County in 2001, we began looking for a Christian school for our son. As we inquired around, Algoma Christian School kept coming up. We enrolled our son and quickly discovered why so many people recommended Algoma. The Algoma family is made up of hardworking, unpretentious, servant-hearted people. The school is committed to high academic standards, sound evangelical teaching and practice, and is supported by caring faculty and staff. In 2007 I joined the faculty full time.

​Career: Mrs. Lyons is a graduate of Faith Baptist School in Davison, MI; graduated from the University of Michigan-Flint; and completed her Masters of Education degree at Liberty University; ACSI Certificate. I have been teaching at ACS since 2008.


Comment: I am originally from the Grand Blanc area of East Michigan. After our family relocated to the West Michigan area, it was difficult not having any family or friends with whom to connect.  ACS filled that void and has become our new family and provided a strong friendship network for each of us. My husband and I have three children all of whom have attended ACS. This school has become a part of our hearts, and we are so very blessed to have found such an amazing place to call 'home'. I am grateful for this school!

Comment: Algoma is a family atmosphere where I enjoy the opportunity to work with students and our families as we make disciples. I'm thankful to be part of such a great team where we can all use our talents for the Lord.
My role is to help students prepare for their life after high school by aiding in scheduling, checking graduation requirements, communicating about necessary assessments, along with connecting with students and families about other vital information. In addition, I coordinate student accommodations and modifications for all ACS students.
My husband and I have two daughters at Algoma and are thankful for the quality education and love they receive.

Please come talk to me, or email me, if I can help your student prepare for life after ACS or if you'd like to discuss how to better meet your child's individual learning needs.

​

Career: Bachelor of Science in K-12 Physical Education and 6-12 Health Education from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL. I have been here at ACS since the fall of 2015 upon finishing my degree requirements in December 2014. In my time here, I have served in quite a few different teaching and athletic roles. I currently serve as the Athletic Director, Secondary Physical Education and Health Teacher, Redemptive Thinking Process Coordinator, and the high school baseball coach.

Comment: My wife Mackenzie and I live in Conklin, MI and have two young daughters, Charlotte and Laynie. My wife serves as a Certified Athletic Trainer at Coopersville High School, and our girls attend the Weeknights Child Development Center here at ACS. I am originally from Illinois, while my wife grew up in metro Detroit. I thank her for pushing me to look into teaching opportunities here in Michigan, as we have fallen in love with the Grand Rapids area and West Michigan as a whole. Our hope and prayer is for every student and athlete that we cross paths with will be able to see something different in us and our girls... that Jesus will be reflected through each and every interaction we have.
