Steve Alberts, 11th & 12th Bible
I was born and raised in Colorado and came to Texas in 1995 after being called to ministry. God honed my calling while attending East Texas Baptist University and serving churches in Marshall, Texas. While in Marshall, I married the love of my life and Louisiana girl, Shannon Thibodeaux. Our first daughter, Hannah, was born in Marshall. In 2004 I received my Masters degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. During our time in Fort Worth, my family grew with the birth of two children. Annemarie, who passed away shortly after she was born, and later our first son, Marshall. After graduating, we moved to serve a church in Fayetteville, Arkansas, serving there for 11 years. Our fourth child, Wesley, was born. God called us back to Texas in 2015 to begin serving as Youth Pastor here at Colonial Hills Baptist Church. Since 1995, in my marriage and ministry, this one thing I KNOW is true: God’s love is an active and present love, and He brings us through every moment, the good and hard, all for His glory! I look forward to teaching upper campus Bible at King’s again!

Sandy Andrews, Girls Basketball Coach
My name is Sandy Andrews. I was born and raised in Southeast Texas. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Wesley, for 9 years. I attended  East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas, where I played volleyball and basketball. I started coaching in my hometown of Jasper, Texas, and I have been able to host several sports camps throughout the years. Since living in Tyler I was an assistant coach for about 2 years for a city league girls basketball team along with coaching girls volleyball. My love for coaching comes from wanting to help develop skills for on and off the court. This is my second year being a part of the KACS family!

Kara Bertles, Art History, Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus
Our family (me, my husband, five children, and two dogs) started out in California, stayed for a bit in Michigan, and moved to the Tyler area in 2011.  We still have many ties to our former states, but we have come to love the east Texas culture.
I’ve taught various math classes at King’s since 2018.  I appreciate the way that parents and teachers work together, and the importance that is given to family time.  I love seeing the siblings of former students show up in my classes every fall. It’s always exciting to teach the kids the amazing way that God has designed the universe.  Math is full of relationships between numbers, figures, and processes that point the way to Him.  Numbers do fun things!

Danica Bielss, 3-Day 4th grade

Cody Browning, Government & Economics, World History, Statistics, Computer Science, 6th grade Bible
Hi, I’m Cody Browning! I have been with KACS since the Fall of 2010. I have a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus on Finance from Texas State University. I earned my masters in Instructional System Design and Development from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I believe that education and experiences can and should strengthen and encourage our faith. I look forward to another year at KACS!

Kristin Broyles, 3-Day 5th grade Math & English
This is my 2nd year at King’s Academy and it has been such a great experience! I taught in Tyler ISD for 15 years teaching 4th and 5th grades, as well as math and reading intervention. I loved teaching in public school, but began feeling God leading me to spend more time with my family. My two youngest kids have attended King’s for the past 4 years and I have seen how great the university model has been for them, and I am so happy to have finally joined the KACS community with them.  The kids and families at King’s have been so amazing to work with. It’s such a  blessing to be able to do what I love and also have extra time with my family!

Kristen Clifton, 5th grade Science & English, 7th grade Texas History
I am so excited to be joining King’s Academy this year along with my 4 children.  A fun fact about me is I come from a family of educators; in fact I am a 4th generation teacher, with my great grandmother, grandmother, mom, dad, and brother all in education. I attended East Texas Baptist University where I met my husband, Mark, and we were married in 2008. I graduated with my degree in Elementary Education in December of 2009, and quickly began my teaching career in January of 2010. I varied between teaching and staying home with my children over the years during the birth of our children.
Our two older boys attended a local UMS model school in the town we lived in until we moved to Tyler in 2019.  We began a journey into full time homeschooling then, and remained there until 2022.  Now we are in a new season, and the Lord was kind enough to lead us back to the UMS model through King’s Academy, this time with me as a classroom teacher! I am so excited to be here and can’t wait to see what all the Lord has in store this upcoming year.

Lori Elizondo, 9th grade Biology
I am very excited to be beginning my 3rd year of teaching Biology at King’s Academy!
I graduated from Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas, in May of 1999 with a biology degree with teacher certification and then got my Master’s in Biology from SFA in Nacogdoches in 2000 before going to PA School at UTMB in Galveston, Texas, and graduating in 2003. My husband, Joe, and I have been in Tyler since 2003 and we have four kids, Bethany, 25, Hannah, 15, Noah, 12 and Ethan, 9. Our youngest 3 attend King’s and love it. We are active members of Green Acres Baptist Church. Besides teaching I also work as a full time PA in various roles in Tyler including internal medicine, occupational health, and the emergency rooms.
I have taught Biology and other science courses in high schools, middle schools, and colleges for 20 years and I love helping students learn to appreciate all forms of life in God’s world that He has created. I also love doing hands on projects with the kids and making them think outside the box.

Natasha Ellis, HS Physics, MS STEM
This will be my first year at King’s Academy and I am thrilled to be where I can encourage students in their walk of faith while teaching content that I love! My previous two years I was a high school math teacher with Tyler ISD. I first moved out to East Texas when I attended LeTourneau University where I studied engineering, mathematics, and education. This is also where I fell in love with my husband and East Texas! We have been married and living in Tyler about two years and have loved putting down some roots and getting plugged into the community.

Sandra Ferris, Study Hall & Lunch
I moved from California to Tyler, Texas, with my husband and four children 29  years ago. I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2000 with a degree in Psychology and Sociology. I went back that year to Region 7 to get my alternative teaching certificate after subbing in the Tyler Independent School District. I realized that my calling was to be a teacher and work with children as I have always loved to do . I love to teach with a passion! I have taught for 22 years just about every grade level and subject. I love to form a strong relationship with my students and teach them that learning can be very fun.  This year I will be in the Study Hall which I love. I enjoyed the students in Study Hall and their projects. Teachers wear many hats, and one is mentoring. I have been a mentor to several students in my teaching career. I love getting involved in their learning and assisting in any way possible. I am very thankful and grateful to be a part of this wonderful school! I feel God has opened the door and placed me right where I should be. I am very excited for this year to start!

This is my 4th year at King’s! Working with children has been my passion and calling since I was young. I am so blessed to get to be a part of this amazing school and can’t wait to get to know my students and families. I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2012 with a degree in Education and taught second grade for three years. I really enjoy giving students a strong foundation and teaching them that learning is so much fun! Aside from being a full-time teacher I have worked with children in almost every other capacity, including daycare, tutoring, and children’s ministry. I have been a stay at home mom for three years and I am so excited to be back in the classroom. My husband, Chaz, and I have three children.

King’s Academy is a great school and I am very thankful that we are a part of it. 

Leslie Huval, 5th grade Math, History, & Bible, 7th grade Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Lifetime Sports
Hi, my name is Leslie Huval, Jesus follower, wife, mother, friend and fitness enthusiast.  I have been in education for 20 years, with a combination of public education, private education and at home instruction.  Each season God has revealed His purpose for my life and has been faithful to His Word during times of struggle.  I am excited to connect and come along side each of the KACS families as we grow in faith, knowledge, character and understanding through a biblical world view.  Gal 5:22-23

Jeanne Jorash, 6th grade Math, 7th grade Bible, Earth Science, Drama, Speech, Creative Writing
I have been at King’s since 2017. Before coming to Tyler, my family had lived overseas in several countries. I have had a variety of  teaching experiences, including Speech and Drama in public school, leading a Homeschool Drama troupe in Budapest, Hungary, various classes in Kiev, Ukraine, and English in China, along with homeschooling my own 8 children. KACS has an amazing group of teachers, staff, students, and parents!  We were new to Tyler in 2017, as well as KACS, and everyone made us feel welcome and part of a family. As the Drama teacher here, the students, staff, and parents have risen to the occasion each time, and with the Lord’s graciousness, we have had productions not less than miraculous! That’s how God works at this school, and I am anticipating MORE from Him this coming year!

Jordan Kulaga, 8th grade Physical Science
This is my third year teaching at King’s Academy. I love being a science teacher because kids are naturally curious about the world around them, and it’s easy to get them excited about the subject matter. The Bible makes it clear that God designed the universe in an orderly manner and I believe He affords us the opportunity to understand His design and His nature through scientific principles. I am so thankful both as a teacher and a parent to be surrounded by others who agree that our focus should be primarily on raising children to love the Lord and our neighbors, with academics as a secondary endpoint.

Kyla McEntire, HS Volleyball Coach, Elementary PE, Wednesday Electives
My husband and I came to King’s Academy in 2019 and have found it a wonderful place to work and partner with teachers for training our two children who are still at home.  I have worked as an Occupational Therapist, primarily with children, since graduating from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in 1989.
At Hamilton Christian Academy in Lake Charles, LA, I established and worked in an elementary motor lab and served as the volleyball coach.  I have continued to do the same at KACS and have added elementary PE to that assignment.  I love the family atmosphere at King’s and hope to have a long relationship with the ministry!
Wayne and I are the parents of five children and have four grandchildren.  We are active members of Green Acres Baptist Church.

Kathy McGraw, Music
Hello, I am Kathy McGraw, this is my first-year teaching music at the lower campus. I retired from public education after 28 years in the classroom.

My husband Tom and I moved our family to Tyler from Houston in 2005 for his job. We have been married for twenty-three years and have three wonderful daughters (all grown), plus one grandchild.

Rachel Montgomery, 2-Day 4th grade
I am so excited to be a part of King’s Academy. After college I taught for nearly 3 years in a small school in Mexico City, Mexico. When I returned to the United States, I taught in bilingual and dual language programs in public schools in Texas for 12 years. After 15 years of teaching, God made it clear that I needed to turn my attention to my family and their spiritual and educational growth. God has opened a door for King’s Academy to be an avenue for that growth. I get to teach, which is something I love, and I get to be with my family more, which is something I want. Our family is excited for the opportunity to grow with the KACS community. We look forward to what God has in store for us as we journey with Him through this adventure.

Candace Quinney, 3-Day 2nd grade
This will be my second year to get to teach at Kings!  I taught first grade last year and get to teach second grade this year.  I am excited to get to teach this grade again!
I graduated from Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas, when our three children were in high school and college.  I taught second grade four years in the Dallas area and then moved to Tyler where I taught second grade 3 years and first grade for 10 in Winona ISD.
God moved my husband and me to the Tyler area to pastor a small church.  My husband of 46 years, and I have worked in many areas of the church from janitors to pastors and sometimes both!  He is now retired and seems to enjoy it most of the time.
I retired after 17 years of teaching, but missed the kids and the whole experience.  So after 2 years of retirement, I found KACS!  What an awesome model to get to bring your children! I love getting to partner with parents to teach little ones, not only academics, but how to be like Jesus and what that means!   I am honored to get to teach these children and can’t wait to see them learn and grow!

Megan Ridenour, 2-Day 2nd grade
Teaching is an immense privelege for me, not only because I get to help children learn and grow, but as a Christian educator at a Christian school, I am also able to impart knowledge and learning experiences through the lens of God’s love for each of us and the amazing world He has created. I pray that the students’ hearts and minds would deeply know the God who created them, loves them and desires a relationship with them.
I’m a mom of three boys who all attend King’s Academy. We love being part of the KACS community and are excited for the year to come! I have my BA Degree in Russian and served in an American Russian Church for two years. Since moving to Tyler in 2013, I have served at my church teaching 3-5 year olds. I’m grateful for the opportunity to now serve KACS!

Heidi Shorts, Art, Wednesday Electives
This is my third year teaching art at King’s.  I previously taught 15 + years in both private and public schools, for homeschool groups, special needs students, preschoolers, women’s groups & private lessons, as well.
I love art and I love the creative process!  One of my greatest joys is helping students feel successful.  I believe we are all equipped by our great Creator to reflect Him in our own creative work…and it’s going to be different for each of us.  I’m thankful to be teaching in a school where we can make those connections and develop life skills that begin with art and touch so many other areas into the future!

Kira Smith, 6th grade English, 7th grade English, 8th grade English, English I & English II
This is my second year teaching at King’s Academy, and I am thrilled to be returning to this wonderful community! Before teaching at KACS, I taught 4th grade in Bellingham, WA. My husband and I moved to Tyler with our son (now 15 months old) in August of 2021 in order to be closer to family. My favorite thing about teaching is helping to kindle a lifelong love of learning in my students through the written word, always pointing toward the greatest story written by God our Creator.

Angela Vrba, 2-Day Kindergarten
Hello, my name is Angela Vrba. This is my second year teaching Kindergarten at King’s Academy and I am looking forward to another great year. I retired from Whitehouse ISD in 2016.  I have 30 years teaching experience, 5 in first grade, 15 in Kindergarten, and 10 in reading intervention.  Teaching in a Christian environment and working in partnership with the parents of my students has been a wonderful experience. I am blessed to be a part of the King’s Academy family. 

Robin Walker, 2-Day 3rd grade
I have been so moved and impressed by the quality and depth of thinking that I see from these students.  I attribute this to the beautiful commitment of our parents to our precious Lord, but also to the Godly atmosphere that permeates throughout King’s Academy.  In my 36 years of teaching, I’ve seen how our youth are being attacked from all sides.  We are slowly seeing the effects of a secular world and how these negative influences and teachings are subtlety entering our public school programs.  No longer are our public schools looking out for the child’s spiritual welfare, they are consumed with test scores.  When this happens, our children become departmentalized and seen as numbers, not as a beautiful creation of God.  At King’s Academy, we are placing God and His teachings first.  Through the eyes of our creator, we then journey into His wonderful world of knowledge.  This in turn then enables our students the freedom to grow and understand God’s truth.  This then unlocks their spirits so they discover their God-given gifts.  I believe that is the essence of a Godly education.  We are equipping young children to be God’s mighty warriors in an ever-changing world. 

Allyson White, Head MS Cheer Coach
Hello! My name is Allyson White and I’m so excited to be the Middle School Cheerleading Coach! I have an extensive experience in High School, All-Star, and Junior College Cheerleading.

My husband Christopher and I live in Tyler with our three children (Lucas, Levi and Madison). We were called to King’s at the beginning of Lucas’s Kindergarten year. I am thrilled to be a part of the KACS team and ready for an exciting year ahead. *Go Knights!*

Natalie White, 2-Day 2nd grade
I graduated with a BS degree in Elementary Education, with a specialization in math and reading, from Howard Payne University in 2001. I went on to earn my ESL and G/T certifications, along with my mentoring teacher qualifications. I have been teaching for 13 years in public education schools in Texas. I am particularly excited about having the opportunity to teach at KACS though, because of the loving, Christ-centered, flexible atmosphere. My goal is for my 2nd grade students to master every mandated objective for grade level graduation through interest-based, engaging lessons, while also instilling biblical truths in all of my students. My desire is for my kids to know who God is, what He has done for them, and who they are in Him once they accept His salvation. I look forward to an amazing year!

Jennifer Zimmerman,  3-Day 1st grade, Wednesday Tutor & Electives
Hello! This is my 16th year teaching in Texas. I have had the privilege of teaching at King’s for the past two and a half years. I began as a part-time music instructor, then moved into working with Mrs. Hinkeldey in first grade, while also teaching music and drama, and last year I taught Tues/Thurs first grade, Monday music & drama, and Wednesday Study Hall. This year I’ll be dropping music and drama to allow for 3 day first grade, something I am VERY excited about! My time at King’s is a true blessing because it is my ministry. God has blessed me time and again, for which I am so grateful. I just want to honor and thank Him for loving us by sharing His Love with our “littles.” What a joy it is to be at King’s Academy!
