You want your child to learn, grow, and explore interests at every age. That’s why our teachers — from preschool through high school — challenge students to develop their academic curiosity, think critically, and strengthen their faith. For children interested in athletics, we offer 11 different sports across more than 20 sports teams, and our arts program helps students who want to express themselves through music, theater, or visual art.

MELISSA O’STEEN
TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Christ’s Church Academy is proud to recognize Melissa O’Steen as our 2025 Teacher of the Year. Melissa recently completed her third year at CCA, where she has faithfully served our middle school students with excellence and dedication.
Melissa began her journey at CCA in a part-time role, quickly stepping into the position of Middle School Lead during her second year. Over the past three years, she has taught 6th and 7th grade Social Studies — guiding students through Ancient World History, Geography, and Civics. She has also played an active role in enhancing the student experience beyond the classroom, arranging and chaperoning memorable Mini-Mester trips such as the 7th grade visit to Epcot in 2024 and Kennedy Space Center in 2025.
Her leadership extends to launching CCA’s first Middle School Boot Camp for incoming 6th graders in 2024, an initiative she will continue this summer. Melissa’s commitment to student engagement is evident through the clubs she has led, including Girl Talk (2022–2023), Crochet (2023–2024), and Stretch for Christ (2024–2025). She has also taught High School Finance and has faithfully led the same G-Group for three years, guiding her students from 6th grade into high school.
Melissa’s dedication to both academic excellence and spiritual growth reflects the heart of CCA’s mission. She is a devoted mother to Audrey, who began in VPK during Melissa’s first year at CCA and is now entering 2nd grade.
We celebrate Melissa O’Steen not only for her outstanding teaching but also for the way she invests in the lives of our students — inspiring them to grow in knowledge, character, and faith. Congratulations, Melissa, on this well-deserved honor!
We are here for you, every step of the way.
