Mrs. Heather Griffy

I grew up in both private Christian and public education, and from personal experience understand the impact a Christian education can make on a developing mind. This, combined with my substitute teaching experience in the public schools changed my focus to pursue a teaching position in a Christian education. She has previously taught English, rhetoric, and art for grades K-12.

Mrs. Cheryl Mexin: ACE Program Director

I am excited to be the director of the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) program at Mesa Christian Academy. Recently I had been running an independent Christian school when the opportunity was presented to merge with Mesa Christian Academy and become a ministry of First Baptist Church. I have operated ACE schools and Learning Centers for 19 years and an ACE “model” school for 9 years. I have participated in ACE supervisor’s and administrator’s training, and spent three years aiding ACE Regional Representative in conduction these trainings.
