Our Great Team

God has blessed us with the privilege of working with a really great staff team here at LCA. Along with both of them teaching several classes, Rod leads out in administration while Christa is the academic dean, teacher’s mentor and curriculum guru. We love these kids at LCA and the opportunity that we have to show Jesus to them and their families. Outside of school, we’ll take any chance we have to spend time with our charming, growing adult children.

Hi! I’m Tristen Rodriguez. I enjoy teaching 8th and 9th grade here at LCA. I really enjoy hanging out with my family on the weekends and playing the piano. A few of my hobbies include one-wheeling, 3d printing, or working on any kind of mind-building project. My passion is serving my Lord and King!

Cindy Peachey

I am Miss Cindy, and contrary to what others think, I actually love grammar and writing. That’s why my job as high school language and literature teacher brings me so much joy. Some other things that bring me joy are chocolate cake, books, legos, plants, and being outside.

I teach 4th and 5th grade and I love my job here, teaching, and spending time with my students and the other staff. I also really enjoy coffee, reading, puzzles, and hanging out with my family, but not necessarily in that order because my family is my favorite.
