School Board

Our board is made up of Grace Prep parents and people who love our school. We are grateful for al the hard work they do for Grace!

David Cook is a Partner in the law firm of Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, where he focuses his practice primarily on corporate transactions, with particular emphasis on mergers and acquisitions, private equity and energy transactions.  He currently serves on the firm’s Executive Committee and as the Chair of the firm’s Corporate and Securities practice group.  He previously served as an adjunct professor at Texas A&M University School of Law where he taught for six semesters.  He has presented at numerous continuing legal education (CLE) seminars on various topics, and has been recognized as a “Texas Super Lawyer, Rising Star” and an “Up-and-Coming 100: Texas Rising Star” by Texas Monthly magazine, a “Top Attorney” by Fort Worth, Texas magazine, and a “Top Attorney” in Business Law, Civil Law and Transactional, and Corporate Finance / Mergers and Acquisitions by 360 West magazine.  He is a Sustaining Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation and the Tarrant County Bar Foundation, is a “40 Under 40” honoree by the Fort Worth Business Press, and serves on the Texas Business Organizations Code Committee.  He graduated summa cum laude from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now known as Texas A&M University School of Law) where he served as the Editor-in-Chief of its Law Review, and received his B.B.A. from Baylor University with a double major in entrepreneurship and marking.  David currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Grace Prep and as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Fielder Church.  

He and his wife, Anna, are active covenant members of Fielder Church where they love the fellowship with, and the insight shared by, their community group, as well as being a part of a body of Christ that desires to “inhale and exhale the Gospel and make disciples who do the same.”  Both of their children attend Grace Prep.

Brian Evans has been married to Autumn for 22 years, both were born and raised in Arlington. They have two kids, Jackson Evans, and Anna Evans.  Jackson just graduated and is at The University of Montana to study business.  Anna is in high school at Grace Prep with a passion for art and cheer.   

Brian is a part-owner of Qualis Investments which is a Construction, Roofing & Home Generator business.  He is also part-owner of TX Home Market, which procures & flips real estate in the North Texas area.

Donna and Brian MacKenzie have been members of the Grace Prep family since 2002 when they enrolled their two oldest sons, Jesse and Kevin, in fifth and third grade. Adam began third grade four years later. In 2008, Donna was hired by Grace Prep and she and her youngest son, Seth, began third grade together. All four boys went on to graduate from Grace.

As the third-grade language arts and history teacher, there were a lot of things that
Donna loved about her job, but the absolute favorite was starting each day listening to the sweet voices of her students recite God’s word. Each year her class memorized large portions of Scripture.

After fourteen years of teaching, Donna retired in 2022. She was honored to join the
school board at that time. She is passionate about the prayer ministry at Grace Prep where each employee has a parent or grandparent praying individually and specifically for them all year. If you
have been a parent at Grace Prep for any length of time, you have received numerous emails from Donna about this ministry opportunity.

Donna currently creates teaching resources for Christian schools. She sells these
online through DesignsByDonna.Store, TeachersPayTeachers, and other online
platforms.
