PRINCIPAL
Megan Heinrich
Megan has three great loves: Jesus, the lightbulb moment, and words. She was homeschooled by her parents who love God's Word and good books, and is passionate about helping students love to learn, to the end of loving the God who made everything that's worth learning about. She is thrilled to be part of the KCA faculty. She had been praying since 2014 that a Christian school would open in Uptown, and before KCA, she worked at Wilson Elementary and taught fifth grade at EBSOLA Creative Arts for three years. In the past decade, Megan has also worked at a charter school, tutored English language learners, was a university research assistant and qualitative data coder, and has enjoyed many Friday afternoons working the big purple Kenosha Public Library bookmobile. She is deeply invested in CrossWay Community Church.
