“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.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being chef for ACS for the last six years and look forward to another wonderful year! 

I grew up in West Columbia, Texas and graduated from Columbia High School.  Afterwards I attended Brazosport College, Southwestern Assemblies of God University, and Christ for the Nations.  Later I spent 6 months helping a missionary, Ralph Hagaemeir in Tanzania, Africa.  After my return from Africa, I got a job working for Texaco Exploration and Production and met my wife, Laura Smith.  We have been married 37 years!  During this time, we have had many amazing years together, although we have also had very heartbreaking times as well.  We suffered the loss of our six-year-old son in 1992, then our daughter at birth in 1993, and many miscarriages, etc.  In 1994, we embarked on a new journey.  We moved to Belize, Central America, where we served as missionaries.  We had 25 children in our home at different times and raised 9 of them, most of their childhood.  Now, most of them are grown and have families of their own.  While in Belize we were blessed to give birth to our miracle, Judah Daniel Smith, weighing in at 1 pound 14 ounces!  In Belize, we had a home for children who needed one, a school for them, and we started a church.  We also worked closely with the Mayan community and local church in later years. I also became known for being a chef and did catering.  I was known for my pizza and cinnamon rolls as well as doing some birthday cakes. Six years ago, we returned to the USA to take care of my mother.  That is when I began working at ACS.  Our son graduated from ACS in May 2019!  My wife is also at ACS as a teacher.  I am excited to be here and love working with fellow staff members, as well as the students!

“May the Lord bless you and protect you.  May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.  May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 NLT

This is how I try to live my life, blessing others.

 

Hello!  My name is Aimee McGough.  I am the Secondary Administrative Assistant/ Registrar here at ACS.  This is my first full year at ACS; previously, I worked a full time job and worked part time in Aftercare for 4 years. It has been such a blessing to be called to the Mission field of ACS. The students and families here are amazing and each and every day, I am blessed by them.

 

A little background about me: I was born and raised in Angleton.  Graduated from Angleton High School in 1995.  I attended Alvin Community College where I received my Associates of Applied Science Degree in Business Administration.  I have been married to my best friend, Clint McGough for 15 years.  We have 3 daughters and one son in love and a grand baby on the way.

We attend church and are members at Life 4 Square church in Angleton.  In our spare time, we love to cook, hunt, fish and volunteer (when we can).

 

My faith:  I was saved and baptized at the age of 12. Throughout the years, there have been many struggles.  I lost my first husband at the age of 25, leaving me with a 1 ½ year old and a 2 ½ year old.  My current husband has been through two below the knee amputations and a plethora of medical issues.  Often, people ask how I stay so positive; my only explanation is God!!! Our faith and belief that He is with us; He has pulled us from the trenches, He has gone before us and worked out EVERY detail. No matter what we go through in life, as long as we have God with us, we can make it through.  Keep your eyes on Him always!
