Leaders Day Talk | | Fundraising & Development
Summary
Changes in school choice funding in many states present ACCS schools with the reality of either compromising their standards or closing their doors. Could there be a third option? This workshop will share what two schools, one in Arizona and one in Florida, are doing to adapt to the changing school choice landscape.
Speaker
James Cowart serves as headmaster at Trinitas Christian School in Pensacola, Florida. He previously served as headmaster at an ACCS school in Tennessee before moving to Pensacola almost ten years ago. James and his wife Joy have five children, all of whom attend Trinitas.
Mr. Kyle Maestri is a passionate follower of Jesus Christ. He grew up in a Christian home where he was taught to ask hard questions which deepened his faith at a young age. He attended Biola University and was part of their first graduating class of the Torrey Honors Institute, a Christ-centered classical education Great Books program. While at Biola, he studied Philosophy and Theology and gained a passion for K-12 classical education. In 2003, he was approached to help start a classical Christian school for the Prescott area. He was daunted by the task but trusted that God was leading and did not want to miss out. He completed his Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Northern Arizona University in 2009. He loves teaching, spending time with students, being at home with his family, reading, and playing basketball. Along the way, during the beginning of the school, he married his true love, Anni. They now have four beautiful daughters that they are working hard to raise in the truth of God’s Word. Please pray for him and his family as he leads this ministry with the guidance of the School Board, the Word, and the Spirit of God.
