Hi! My name is Lisa Rhodes. I grew up in Fenton, Michigan. I attended the local Adventist church school, Adelphian Junior Academy for grades 1-10 and then completed high school at Great Lakes Adventist Academy. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with emphasis in Language Arts & Social Studies, from Andrews University in 2000. In August 2012, I graduated from Andrews University with a Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction.  I currently hold a Teaching license for the state of Indiana and a Professional Teaching Certificate for the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.

I taught in the greater Detroit area for 8 years before coming to Cross Street Christian School in 2009. 

In my free time, I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, cooking, music, spending time outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.

Hello! I am Karen Wasylyshen. Born to an Educator in the Sciences and to a Nurse, my early years were inundated with focus on service, and the fact that time on Earth was short. Mission was our focal point. I was blessed with a rich palette of experiencing many cultures, valuing the best characteristics, and seeing God’s loving grace in each one. On an individual level, God has a planned destiny, and education is key, a blessing, in achieving our utmost for His service.
