Mrs. Beth Gohn, Pre-K and K
I am very excited to be joining Big Cove Christian Academy as the Pre-K and Kindergarten Teacher. I have taught preschool for over 8 years and have also homeschooled my own children for 6 years. I love watching the excitement on children's faces as they learn new things.
I am married and have 2 children in college at UAH. When not at school, I like doing puzzles and playing board games with my family.

Miss Melissa Boyd, 1-3
I am excited to be the First through Third Grade teacher here at Big Cove Christian Academy. I earned my BA degree in Elementary Education from Southern Adventist University, with a minor in Outdoor education. I am passionate about getting my students excited about school while reconnecting them with God through nature.
When I’m not teaching I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, canoeing, kayaking, caving and backpacking. You can often find me with a good book in the branches of a tree, or working with my father on my schoolie, a tiny house built into a school bus.

I am committed to inspiring young minds to achieve their God given potential.
I am a passionate educator with extensive experience in the arts, curriculum development, and classroom management.
