Mrs. Heather Smith
I am so blessed to be able to teach at MVCA! Overall, this will be my 8th year here
at MVCA, and my first as the Elementary Principal.
I was born and raised in the Kansas City, MO area and graduated from
Missouri Western State University with a bachelor’s degree in Early
Childhood/Elementary Education and then earned my master’s degree in
Collaborative Learning and Teaching from Graceland University. This will be my
20th year teaching with 6 of those years homeschooling my children. The other
14 years were spent teaching 5 years in a public school in MO, teaching 2 years
of preschool, and then 8 years at MVCA teaching a combined 1st and 2nd grade
class for 2 years, substitute teaching for a year, teaching a combined 5th and
6th grade class for 1 year, and finally teaching 3 years of 5th grade.
My husband and I have been married for 22 years and we have 3 amazing
daughters, 1 dog, and 5 cats. I enjoy reading and sports, but my favorite thing
to do is to spend time with my family camping, hiking, attending plays or just
binge-watching TV shows.
I look forward to what God is going to do at MVCA. I feel privileged to get
to be a part of such a wonderful group of staff, students, and families!
