Personal History:
I grew up on a ranch near Winnie, Texas. Here, I learned what work is and developed a love for the natural sciences. During this time, I also became a Christ-follower. During my time at Lamar University, I felt a calling to work with students in science education. I have been privileged to serve in this role for 31 years here in southern Brazoria County. God has allowed me to work with students in various athletic roles, as well. In 2015, I left education to pursue the ranching business. While this was a nice break, I really missed working with students and decided to come work at Angleton Christian School, teaching science and coaching.
Family:
I am married to my sweetheart, Pam, who has been by my side for over 29 years. We have two daughters, Shannon and Alyssa. Shannon is working on pursuing her career, while Alyssa just graduated from Texas State University. We worship and serve at Brazos Pointe Fellowship in Lake Jackson.
Interests:
I enjoy doing projects around the house, such as remodeling, woodworking, landscaping, and some auto maintenance and tinkering. I enjoy sports and really like the San Antonio Spurs. When time allows, I enjoy heading out on my bicycle and riding some of the roads in the area.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” ~ Prov 3:5-6
Until 2002, I was all about leaning on my own understanding. Since coming to saving faith in Jesus, however, I have learned that plans made through Him have such a better outcome than I could ever imagine!
I am blessed to have a wonderful husband of 28 years, and two sons who attend High School at ACS. I have a BS in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University, but have always loved teaching – Sunday school, homeschool co-ops, wherever I could see the light bulb go off! After homeschooling my two boys for 7 years, the Lord led us to ACS, which turned out to be a great “next step” in my sons’ educations, and an opportunity for me to teach in two areas I loved and had been teaching to homeschoolers and adults for many years: Robotics and Drama.
I have been involved in Community Theater since I was 9, doing everything from acting to directing to backstage and set building. To me, drama class should be a fun, safe place where kids can try new things, and maybe find something inside themselves they didn’t know they had.
Robotics came into my life when my son wanted to take a class at age 7. He loved it, and I subsequently became an assistant, and then a teacher in LEGO Mindstorms NXT/EV3 robotics. At ACS, I have been excited to also work with FIRST FTC Robotics and help our High School team learn to build and program in a JAVA-based environment.
Julie Matthews
I graduated from Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA, majoring in Education and Social Studies and minoring in English.
I am the mother of three beautiful girls who are each blessed with amazing husbands! Amongst the three of them, they have given me six wonderful grandchildren!
I taught for 13 years in Louisiana before moving to Texas where I taught in Fort Bend ISD and Houston ISD. I am returning to ACS for my fifty first year of teaching!
I love to teach! Evidence? I have retired twice but missed it so much that I am returning!
It is my pleasure to partner with you in teaching your child this year.
Donna Minshew
This is my eighth year at ACS. During my time here I have finished and received my Alternative
Texas Teacher Certification. In fact I renewed my certification for another five years. I have
taught math from the beginning of my time at ACS. I have been surprised to see how much I
had remembered from my own time in Jr. and Sr. high. That is saying a lot being I started my
professional teaching career at the age of 58. I have also taught Art, Bible and Health.
I graduated from University of Houston , Clear Lake in December of 2008. I had gone back to
finish my degree when my two sons started college after homeschooling them for 15 years. I
LOVE learning and hope to inspire that love in my students.
Church has always been a big part of my life. I was born again at the age of six. My youth group
and being a part of its leadership were very significant to me. After graduating high school in
1976, I attended Sam Houston University for two years. Later going to Word of Faith Bible
College in Dallas for two years. After returning home, I met my husband Tim, at church, and this
year we will celebrate our 40th anniversary. We have three children and five grandchildren.
I see myself not only as a teacher of academics, but also as a person who is able to speak truth
to my students. I know that I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to teach at Angleton
Christian School. I am able to share my faith and love for my Lord here. I can share what the
Word has to say about life and encourage my students to make right choices. I hope to teach
several more years and be a significant part of this wonderful school.

SELF:
I was born and raised in South Texas in a small town named Alice, Texas. As a young girl, my passion was always about loving people and music. Throughout my time in school starting in elementary to high school I always participated in some kind of musical production. It was in high school when I realized that my future was going to be about music. I enjoy encouraging people and building them up to see the best in themselves.
I AM A:
Mom, wife, friend, pastor, worship leader, sister, teacher, daughter, a friend to everyone and most importantly I am a CHILD OF GOD!
FAMILY:
I am married to my best friend Alex Montealegre, we have been on this amazing journey together for 23 years. Our life together is about serving each other, our family and others. We have two daughters, Alyssa and Ana. Alyssa is a student at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma. Ana is a Junior at Angleton High School. Together as a family, we pastor our churches La Vida Regional (Spanish) and Tejano Life Church (English).
INTERESTS:

I love encouraging people to always include Jesus in their lives.
I enjoy leading and speaking into the lives of young students.
2 Corinthians 12:10
“When you’ve done everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do”.
Robert (Bob) Hefner, Jr.
I am blessed to be a first-time teacher at Angleton Christian School (ACS) this year following retirement from The Dow Chemical Co. June 30, 2021 after 49.2 years as a Research Scientist. During my career at Dow, 218 U.S. Patents and 63 published U.S. Patent Applications issued with me as inventor. Additionally, I am author on 25 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. God truly guided and blessed my industrial career in an extraordinary way and I am excited to now give back some of what He taught me to the students at ACS.
College credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Business and Administration and Chemistry from Central Michigan University (magna cum laude, 1972) and a Master of Science in Chemistry from University of Houston at Clear Lake (summa cum laude, 1987). Additional college-level chemistry courses were completed at Michigan State University (1972-1977), as well as New Testament Greek (koine) courses I and II from the Southern Baptist University (SBC) Seminary Extension Department (1989 - 1990).
Past teaching experience includes mentoring students in chemistry (served as 2003 "Qualified Scientist" for a Brazoswood High School student that won 1st place in the Houston Regional Science Fair), Bible study/teaching/Christian leadership as a 6th grade Sunday School Director and Vacation Bible School (VBS) director, Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Children’s Class Supervisor, and invited teacher for biblical archaeology and Roman/Jewish history in the local public school system. In the Philippines I wrote and then taught a seminar on Industrial Thermoset Chemistry at Notre Dame of Marbel University (my wife’s college!) and Central Philippine University - College of Engineering. My years of teaching adult Sunday school involved a personal research approach guided by the Holy Spirit, culminating in preparation and teaching 104 lessons on Revelation; in-depth lessons on the origin, transmission and preservation of Scripture; and numerous lessons on extra-biblical references to Jesus (for use in witnessing to those that refuse the Bible).
I became a Christian in 1979 after God spoke to me one Saturday afternoon through Romans 2:4. God has blessed me with an amazing family, my wife Ivy Jean, and our son, Luke, a student at ACS since pre-K3. We live in Rosharon where we enjoy gardening, especially growing roses, and spoiling our senior aged cat, Anghel. On Sundays, you will find us serving as greeters to encourage our fellow worshippers at Second Baptist Church - South Campus (Pearland). The three of us are blessed to serve in the mission field in partnership with Marbel Baptist Church (SBC), our church in my wife’s hometown of Koronadal City, South Cotabato, Philippines. The heart of our ministry there is feeding, clothing and providing school supplies for the endless number of needy children, teaching and preaching the Gospel when we are there in person, and helping to build satellite churches in the villages surrounding Koronadal City. One of many favorite Bible verses has served as our guide for ministry and will continue to serve as my guide as a teacher: “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)
Brenda Jasper
I’m Brenda Jasper and I have been at ACS for over seven years, where I teach junior high science and technology classes.
I am originally from Brownsville, Texas, but have lived in Brazoria County for the past 30+ years. Shortly after graduating from Texas Tech University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Business Administration, God had other plans for me. I returned to college to study education and began teaching in 1989.
I have been an educator for close to 35 years. Eleven of those years I taught 5th and 6th grade in Brazoria, where I was teacher of the year in 1994. In 2000, I made the move to Stephen F. Austin STEM Academy in Jones Creek, where my son was entering kindergarten. There, I taught 4th, 5th and 6th grade during my 16 years at SFA. Teaching junior high students was a new experience, but I am so happy God gave me this opportunity!
I have one child, Evan, who recently graduated from Texas A&M. Whoop! I enjoy gardening, woodworking, traveling, and trying out new Mexican food dishes. I attend Columbia Methodist Church in West Columbia.
I love teaching at ACS where the students, parents, and staff are like a family. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach your child. I look forward to another fantastic year!
2nd Thessalonians 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
September Rosa
I joined the ACS family in January of 2018. I truly feel that God has brought me to this place, at this time, and I could not be more grateful to Him for this opportunity. I love being a part of this ministry and family. I have a Bachelor’s in Technology and Business Management. I teach Career Explorations, Personal Finance, and Spanish 1 & 2. I also coach JH Volleyball. I am an active member of Life Foursquare Church in Angleton. I serve in the kids department, nursery, and on the media team. I am the proud mother of an amazing son. I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling. I love teaching, drinking coffee, and watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball. I have seen God move in so many ways in my time with ACS, and cannot wait to see what more He has in store.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Samantha Flores
Hi I’m Samantha! I was born and raised in Angleton and am honored to call this place home. I love going for a jog or bike ride and seeing half a dozen people I know along the way. I even live next door to the doctor who delivered me! #Homegrown through and through.
My husband John and I married in 2010 and we have had four children since then: Titus, Silas, Justus and our little cherry on top Mila. We enjoy spending our free time biking at Brazosbend, swimming, keeping busy at our Home church, Life Foursquare Church and vacationing. I also love reading, sewing, baking and am a Disney enthusiast.
I see math as a puzzle and I am a puzzle lover. It is thrilling to witness and participate in those lightbulb moments when learners begin to crack the code and realize that math can be fun! I have earned two associates degrees (Mathematics and Biological Sciences) from Alvin community college and my Bachelors (Middle School Math) from WGU. Our three sons attend ACS and we absolutely love the community and culture of the Warrior family. It is an honor to be on the team!
Titus 2:7-8
In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
Alana Evans
Hi, I’m Alana Evans! I have been at ACS since February of 2011. I’ve been blessed to see God’s plan for ACS come to life, watching Him take the school from 75 students to over 300! ACS thrives by God’s grace and guidance. I have taught so many different areas- 3rd-12th English, 3rd-12th Social Studies/History, 7th grade Technology, 10th grade speech- just to name a few. Currently, I am teaching 10th grade World History, 11th grade U.S. History, 12th grade Economics and Government, and 10th grade Speech.
I graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a minor in English. In 2015, I graduated from The University of Texas at Arlington with a masters in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. In 2010, I decided I wanted to become a teacher and got my certification.
I married my husband, Steven Evans, in 2019. He had 3 children prior to our marriage who live with us- Brooke (17), Josh (15), and Brandon (13). Together he and I have 2 daughters- Sophie (4), and Brielle (1 ½). I love to travel and see the world, and any chance I get we talk about the world around us. Travel is my true passion. My husband owns a remodeling business and I own a travel agency. Our lives are busy, but God has blessed us immensely.
"Coach Suzy" Ford
Aloha!
My name is Suzy Ford. I was raised in Angleton and graduated from Angleton High School in
1993. I come from a family of teachers/coaches, both my Dad and Mom worked for AISD. I have
been married to my husband, David Ford, for 15 years. We have 2 adult children from previous
relationships, Derrik Ford and Blayne Svoboda. Together we have 2 sons that attend ACS, Koi
Ford and Korbyn Ford.
ACS has been my home away from home for the last 8 years. I have had my hand in multiple
areas in those 8 years. I started as a secretary, then moved to teaching PK4, and for the last
four years I have had the ultimate pleasure of having the best job in the world… PE TEACHER!!
Other than teaching, I have been the Head Varsity Volleyball Coach for the last four years. I also
assist with Junior High Track. I have also coached girls’ basketball and softball in my years here
at the school.
Last year I was given the chance to teach a Yearbook class in High School. This was a
challenge I accepted, and I really enjoyed the outcome.
In my free time I am either at one of my kids’ sporting events or training volleyball with my
husband. We love to spend time with our family and take advantage of our lazy days. Our family
has attended Family Life Church in Lake Jackson for the past 7 years.
My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5-6; “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your
own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” God
sent me this verse when my Dad passed away in 2016. It gave me peace and comfort to know
that God is there for you to lean on, and to trust in Him that one day I will see my Dad again.
Looking forward to a wonderful year!!

Sloan Moyle
Born and raised on his family cattle ranch in Rosharon Texas, Sloan Moyle attended high school at Angleton High School and after graduation he transferred to the University of Houston from Brazosport Community College and graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors of Science in Sports Administration.
He spent time in the professional sports industry, working for the Houston Sabercats Rugby Club, as well as the Sugarland Space Cowboys (the Triple A affiliate of the Houston Astros) pro sports became less fulfilling and after prayer and some help from his wife, he decided to go into Education. He will be teaching History and will also be coaching Cross Country and Track.
Sloan has been happily married to his wife Jordan for two years and they have been a couple for a little more than seven years. The couple spent their entire time in college together and not long after graduating he did what he called “the best decision I’ve ever made” and proposed. His favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 3:7
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Danielle Morphew
I became a Christian in 1970 at the age of 17. Music was always my calling and I graduated from Lamar University and started band directing in 1975.
I have a total of 29 years band directing experience. I began my career at Columbia-Brazoria I.S.D. where I taught the first 11 years of my career and I returned to CBISD during the last 11 years of my career.
