Staff Directory
Our entire staff at Zion Lutheran School Belleville is committed to providing the very best, individualized approach and care to educating every student. Our educators answer a calling to be teachers – it is what God’s plan is for them, and they are dedicated to serving the Lord in this way.
Our teachers average more than 15 years of classroom experience and they work hard to ensure each child feels important, accepted, safe and supported, no matter the hill or valley a student is experiencing. Because every child is unique, each staff member at ZLS brings a different, yet extremely valuable set of skills to our school, beginning with their commitment to meeting every child’s needs.
