We only hire teachers who love Jesus! They are all skilled in their subjects and excellent at what they teach, but more importantly they will love your kids and help them know the Lord better!

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!
Cassidy grew up in the Fort Worth and Arlington area and attended Texas A&M University where he and Nichole first met. There family attends and serves at The Fields Church in Arlington, TX.
Cassidy Moore works in the orthopaedic medical device Industry and has been married to his wonderful wife Nichole since 2004. They have 3 wonderful kids who came to Grace Prep in 2017 when they were in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. They are all now actively involved with all sorts of activities from baseball, to volleyball, and track among others.
Brian’s background includes over 20 years in the tech industry, holding sales leadership roles at Microsoft and Workday across the US and UK/Ireland. He also co-founded TSL, a technical sales training platform and podcast where they developed a training curriculum for technology sales professionals.
Currently as Partner at Qualis Investments, Brian supports the growth of the construction, roofing, and home generator business in DFW and Austin. Separately, through BEVA Homes, he and the team invest in real estate across the DFW area. He is also an advisor to Mando, an AI technology company based in Austin, TX.
Brian Evans has been married to Autumn for 23 years, both Arlington natives. Their son, Jackson, studies business at The University of Montana, while their daughter, Anna, is in her senior year at Grace Prep. He and his family are members at Central Bible Church in Fort Worth and are regular volunteers at the Central Storehouse and serving in the children’s 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.
Jamey and her husband Craig have been a part of the Grace Prep community for six years. They are parents to six children (24 yrs old to 14 yrs old). Jamey co-founded Cornerstone Pediatric Therapy with her husband, Craig, in December 2010, out of a passion for children, families and serving those in need.

She was on the founding leadership team of THERE{4} Teen Gathering and has participated in the production of the conference in Texas, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Rwanda and Uganda.
