English Department Head/9th English Teacher/Varsity Cheer Coach

My name is LeeAnn Dowler. I am the English Department Head, 9th grade English teacher, and Varsity Cheer Coach at LCS. The last few years I taught in our wonderful History Department, but English has always been my passion. I am in my 12th year here at Lincoln Christian School, and I absolutely love it. I would not want to teach anywhere else. I cheered at and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, even though I am an avid OU fan through and through (I know...it throws people off all the time…BOOMER SOONER). I have been a member of Church on the Move since 1996 and was part of the very first team of teachers here at Lincoln Christian School. To see the growth and change of this school has been such an amazing sight to behold. I am so proud to work at a school where the environment: spiritually, academically, and professionally, are second to none. My husband and I are the parents to five incredible children: Jace, Cale, Jaxon, Ryann, and Layla. We both love sports (especially football), and spend our summers at Grand Lake. God has truly blessed us in every way. We are so grateful.

I love to help students make connections to what has happened in our world and understand how God is at the center of it all! I am a big time New York Yankees fan & a dog lover! I am the proud mama of 2 amazing daughters (who attend LCS) & a labrador named Princess. Gabriella is a Junior & Giovanna is in 5th Grade. Both will be cheerleaders this year. Together, we attend COTM BA. My daughter being invited to 180 when she was in 7th grade by a Lincoln family is what led our family to choose to attend Lincoln. We were so impressed by the relational discipleship that is provided for students, the caring & dedicated staff, and the relentless pursuit of excellence! All of our lives have changed for the better since we came here and we are very grateful.

Before coming to LCS I taught adults in continuing education for Cherokee Nation Businesses in the areas of leadership development. When Asher was just born, my husband and I began praying for the opportunity for our kids to attend LCS. The opportunity for me to come to LCS was a divine appointment when a PE teacher was needed and I was desperately wanting to get my kids in school here. The fit was perfect for me and my kids! I graduated with a bachelor of liberal arts from Rogers State University, and a master's degree in business leadership from Grand Canyon University. I often call Lincoln a big family reunion as 10 of my nieces and nephews and my 3 boys attend school here, and my brother and sister both coach here with me.

I was out of education for 8 years, when the head boy's basketball job opened up two years ago, it was the only job that I would have considered applying for because my children were enrolled here.
