 Mrs. Singleton comes from a long line of teachers and loves combining her passion for teaching with the opportunity to mentor teachers, disciple students, and connect with families to advance the gospel and help everyone “reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:13). Mrs. Singleton loves Colossians 1:15-17, because it points directly to the fact that all things have been created by God and for His glory, and that He is the beginning, middle, and end for all subjects.

Mrs. Jagers had the privilege of teaching in many capacities prior to becoming the Elementary Principal. Previously, she taught music in several D11 schools, was a preschool, music, and Bible teacher in LA, and was the Preschool Director for 4 ½ years for Circle Drive Baptist (now Redemption Hill Church) where her husband currently serves as a Pastor. She is a parent of three ECA students, began volunteering at ECA in their classrooms, then soon transitioned to an aide, teacher, and Pre-Kindergarten Director. She loves reading, hiking, watching movies, and spending time with her family. She is a Colorado Springs native who was lovingly nurtured by her parents, church family and community.  

Her desire is to cultivate a loving environment in which all focus stems from and points to Christ. The classical Christian method of teaching is utilized to cultivate wisdom and virtue in the lives of all image-bearers for the purpose of knowing, loving, enjoying God, and loving one another.

She hopes to partner with parents and their churches to fulfill the mission statement of ECA by showing the love of Christ while educating, equipping, and empowering these little ones to pursue their purpose in Christ.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” – Romans 1:16

Education: M.A., Teaching from Grand Canyon University; B.A., Elementary Education from Dordt University

Mrs. Stephens came to teach at ECA in 1987 as her first job after college and has been teaching here ever since. From attending elementary and high school in Denver to a Christian college in Iowa, she’s spent her whole life in the Christian school setting. Throughout those years as a student, Mrs. Stephens’ own teachers continuously modeled their love and commitment to the Lord. This was incredibly impactful as she grew into the teacher and leader she is today, and she desires to show that same love, commitment, and enthusiasm in her own classroom. Her favorite verse is from I Thessalonians 5:16-18, Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. It is Mrs. Stephens’ continued prayer that each child who enters her classroom would find joy in learning and love serving the Lord in all that they do.
