Mrs. Campbell is our 4th-6th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher at Mt. Judea. She is dedicated to seeing our students grow and that is exactly what is happening! We are blessed to have her in our Eagle family! Here is a little more about Mrs. Campbell:
This is my 24th year in education. I have taught across all elementary grades, with the exception of 1st grade, and have worked in both elementary and middle school. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's in Reading. My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We have a blended family of 10 children and 21 grandchildren. We have twin five-year-old granddaughters living with us at this time. My husband is pastor of Newton County Baptist Church and I serve as the worship leader. We live at Rock Haven Bible Camp, where my husband serves as mission director and I volunteer as worship leader for middle school and junior high camp weeks. I love to read fantasy and historic fiction, and enjoy writing, especially poetry. Someday I would like to be a published writer. Music is the background of my life, and I listen mostly to Contemporary Christian music, with a little bit of country and older pop mixed in. I love being outdoors and like to hike and spend time by the water, either the river or the beach, when I can get there! We find time to travel at least once every year, and enjoy seeing new places and doing new things. If the destination has a historical connection, even better, as I am a bit of a history buff! I also like to craft occasionally, when I can find the time.
Monday, December 11, at 6:30 the regularly scheduled board meeting will take place at the Deer campus. At 6:15 we will have a public facilities meeting.

Mr. Freeman brings science to life for our high school students at Mt. Judea. He is patient, caring, and kind. We are so thankful to have him in our Eagle family! Here is a little more about Mr. Freeman:
I am blessed with a wonderful wife, Vestina, and two boys, Eason and Elliott. We both graduated from Mt. Judea and its where we call home. I've taught here for over 15 years and graduated from ATU with a bachelors degree in biology and a masters degree in educational leadership. The boys love basketball and Eason loves to fish anywhere, anytime, so you will probably see us on the ballcourts or riding the side by side to the nearby creeks.
