I assumed the Principal position in September 2020 and this will be my third year in the role.  I love working with kids and helping them succeed in every area of life.  Everyone is a leader and I strongly believe we are raising the leaders of tomorrow. I believe that every child can learn and it’s my mission, along with all the other staff, to see that happen.  I’m married to Natalia and we have two boys named Joshua and Nathan and a baby girl named Emma.

B P.E. (Exercise Physiology) from University of Calgary in 1995.
B Ed After Degree (Middle School) from University of Alberta in 2001.

I graduated from the school when it was called People’s Christian Academy. I returned to DCS in the fall of 1995 as a learning facilitator and started to teach junior high after getting my after degree. All three of my children have attended Destiny and benefited from the Christ centered learning environment. I teach math, science, physical education and a variety of option classes for grades 6 to 9 as well as taking a leadership role in the sports program that provides our students opportunity to compete with many of the schools in the public and separate school systems. It has been a great pleasure to work with an amazing staff over the years. God continues to grow our staff with teachers who have a vast variety of teaching expertise. We celebrate the different learning styles of students and strive to create an environment where Christ is honored and students are prepared for their God given destiny! In 2017 I had the privilege of assuming the vice principal role as well.

For as long as she can remember, Carol wanted to be a teacher, so upon graduating from high school she studied her first two years of post secondary education at the Red Deer College and then transferred to the University of Alberta to complete her Bachelor of Education Degree. She has enjoyed teaching in Red Deer since 1990 and will be the first to tell you she has the best job on the planet! Over the years, she has taught pretty much every grade up to and including Grade 9, but her absolute favorite, is Grade 1.  Their enthusiasm about everything and their sense of humor make going to work an absolute delight!  Faith, family, church and friends are the relational pillars in her life and when she’s not teaching she enjoys designing, taking care of her yard, cooking, reading, spending time with family and friends and of course, shopping!  Her favorite restaurant in Red Deer is Earl’s and she loves it when she discovers a quaint little specialty shop or café filled with country charm.  She believes in the power of prayer and on the tough days, she just holds on to the promises in the Word of God with a little more resolve.

Taught at DCS for 4 years before taking time off to raise her babies.

DCS has been a huge part of my life. I attended high school here, I teach here and my children now attend the school.

It is a school that cares about all aspects of a child: educational, emotional and spiritual and we work with the families to bring children to success. I love that the teachers genuinely care for the students, and help them to grow as individuals!

I’m so honored to be a part of a school that empowers and inspires students to reach for the potential that God has given each one of them. I’m blessed to be able to teach at DCS.

Educational Assistant Certification from RDC

I began as an educational assistant at Destiny School in 2008.  I love working with the kids in such a great atmosphere.

I love working with students and helping them realize their reading potential.

I started working at Destiny in the fall of 2001. After taking time off when my sons were born I slowly increased my hours till I returned full time in 2013. I’ve always been amazed by my co-workers. The teachers at Destiny truly want to see each student succeed, both academically and spiritually. I get to play a small part in the lives of our future leaders. What an amazing gift!

My journey with DCS began as a student graduating grade 12 in 1995.  I then began working in the school office during summers, (1997 & 1998), and then full time as administrator for the 2000/2001 school year.  I consider it such a privilege to again be a part of the administration team and work alongside a great team of teachers and staff! I’m equally excited to have my own children now attend DCS!
