When asked why she chose to teach at CLA, Mrs. Wathley said, “I believe in Christian education because in the ever-changing world we live in today, it’s important to remember for ourselves, and teach the new generations, who God has called us to be, spread the gospel, and show God’s love through our words and actions.

I have been called to teach at CLA and I am so blessed that the Lord has brought me here. It has been the biggest blessing for my family. Not only do I get to openly speak about Jesus, but I know that my children will be getting a well-rounded, faith based education as well.”
