New Faculty and Staff - 2026-2027

Please welcome Whitney to Laurel Christian School! Whitney graduated Summa Cum Laude from Mississippi College in 2025 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts focused in ceramics. An artist at heart, she loves painting, drawing, sculpting, and spending time in her pottery studio creating with clay. Whitney is also an avid reader, sushi lover, and is learning the art of homemade pasta! She and her husband, Austin, live with their family on 80 acres in Ellisville.

This summer, she will attend several trainings and workshops to become licensed as a preschool teacher through the Mississippi State Department of Health and Mississippi Association of Independent Schools.

Whitney has a heart for children and is excited to see how the Lord will use her in this new chapter at LCS!
