Interim Head of School

Pam Jackson, Interim Head of School

Hello families! 26 years ago, I started my educational journey when my children, Kaylene and Christopher, began attending NCA in 1996 as Kindergarten and Preschool students. I loved being a part of the NCA community so much that it led met to the decision to become a teacher. I had an AA degree, so I went back to night school to get my teaching degree from Western Washington University, with the support of my husband David, and while volunteering at NCA. I graduated in June 2000 with my Bachelor of Arts in Education and Teaching Certificate, and that Fall I began teaching 1st grade at NCA.

My experience at NCA includes:

  • NCA Parent (11 years)
  • 1st Grade Teacher (12 years)
  • Programs Supervisor and Director of Operations (8 years in concert with other positions): Development and oversight of NCA’s Safety and Security, and Arrival and Dismissal plans; Supervising the Academy’s 20+ Educational Assistants, and Extended Care Program and staff; Development and supervision of the Summer Program and staff; Executive Team Member, and Liaison to the Facilities Department.
  • PreK-5th Assistant Principal & Director of Operations (4 years)
  • PreK-8th Assistant Principal & Director of Operations (1 year)
  • PreK-2nd Principal & Director of Operations (2 years)

Through these experiences, I believe that God has prepared me well to fill the position of Interim Head of School at NCA, as well as continuing my PreK-2nd Principal position. God’s plans and timing are perfect, and as such I will minister to our students, families, and staff by reinforcing the knowledge that He is in control and that NCA is a place where God’s love and faithfulness are exemplified in all that we do. I look forward to this upcoming year with our “Eyes on Jesus”!

The purpose of the School Board Chair is to make broad-based school policy decisions regarding the school.
