New Superintendent Named
Beginning July 1, 2010, with the retirement of pastor Ken Rankin, Dr. Tricia Meyer will assume the role of Superintendent of Fremont Christian School. Dr. Tricia Meyer attended Fremont Christian School from preschool through her senior graduation. After earning her BA in English, she returned to FCS where, over a three year period, she taught American Literature, AP English Language, and AP English Literature, serving also as yearbook and USB adviser. She eventually moved into college/career counseling and then took on the role of Secondary Campus Vice Principal. She became the Secondary Campus Principal in 2000 after earning her Master of Education degree and California Administrative Credential. This year she has held the position of Assistant Superintendent as well as Secondary Principal. Fulfilling her many and varied responsibilities while working on her dissertation, Mrs. Meyer earned her doctorate degree.
Dr. Tricia Meyer says about FCS, “I think that for most students to feel comfortable asking questions, to develop ideas and understanding through classroom dialogue and to be willing to work hard enough to produce assessments that show creativity and depth of thought, they have to have self-confidence and an eye on a meaningful and productive future. My goal for FCS is that we have classrooms of students who exercise humility and treat each other the way Christ treats us: with compassion and dignity. When students are treated well by their peers, they will be more willing to take on the challenges of learning. When they understand Christ and the mind of God revealed to us in scripture, they start to have an eternal perspective which causes them to reflect on their own motivations and behaviors. I would love to see students who think carefully, act meaningfully and consistently show love.
