Meet our Interim High School Principal
Thank you for your interest in Desert Christian Schools. It is an honor to serve at Desert Christian High School, where I believe God has called me to disciple students to make a difference in their world. Since beginning my career in education in 2002—and joining the Desert Christian community in 2018—I have seen the profound impact of a Christ-centered education that encourages both academic excellence and spiritual growth. At DCS, we are committed to providing high-quality academics through a biblical worldview, equipping students to think critically and prepare for life beyond high school.
More than just a school, Desert Christian is a community where we partner with families, seeking God’s wisdom as we navigate each school year together. I invite you to visit our campus to see why we love DCS. We would be honored to share our mission with you and provide a personal tour. If you're interested, please complete our inquiry page—I look forward to meeting you.
