7 English/Yearbook

My name is Kayla Fletcher, and I teach seventh grade English. I also serve as the yearbook adviser and high school student council sponsor. This is my third year at Lincoln Christian School, and I love being a Bulldog! I chose to teach at LCS because working in a life-giving environment that truly cares about students is very important to me. I get to witness that every single day at LCS. For fun, I enjoy reading a good book and visiting antique stores. I look forward to all that God has in store this year!

I am married and have three grown children. I graduated from Oral Roberts University with a Bachelor’s degree in Drama-TV-Film Performance, and a Master’s degree in Christian School Education. In addition to teaching the theater and public speaking classes, I also direct the One-Act team, and the Speech team, and I have the honor of directing the all-school musical. I’ve taught at Lincoln and attended COTM-BA for 3 years, where I enjoy serving on the Production Team. I love traveling, reading, going to the theater, and eating good food. I am happy to be teaching at LCS because of the rare opportunity to combine education and faith. I love being able to partner with parents to raise their children to live for Jesus.

Vocal/Guitar Teacher

My name is Lauren Settles and I have been teaching for 6 years, with this year being my second year at LCS. I chose LCS so that I could teach in an environment that not only encourages students to grow and train their God-given gifts and talents, but also somewhere that inspires them to use those gifts to worship and glorify God. A fun fact about me is that I have performed songs in over 8 different languages.
