YUCAIPA, Calif. (Sept. 18, 2013) – Yucaipa Christian School (YCS) just announced that they have hired Ethan Sullivan to teach a combination class of 5^th and 6^th grade students. Sullivan joins YCS with a bachelors in education from Vanguard University of Southern California and masters in education from Michigan State University.

“We are so excited to welcome Ethan to the team,” said Jim Cochran, YCS administrator. “He comes to us with much experience and has already shown he will be a wonderful asset long-term.”

Sullivan’s curriculum will focus on teaching Bible studies, 5th grade math, English reading and writing, history and health education. He will also serve as the Student Government advisor.

“My long-term goal is to help students get excited about academics, and prepare them with the fundamental skills and knowledge they will need as they continue their education into their college years,” said Sullivan.  “I also want to teach my students to be spiritual leaders among their peer groups outside of the school and church.”

Prior to joining YCS, Sullivan taught Junior High and High School for seven years in Kona, Hawaii.  He was also a High School Youth pastor for Living Stones Church during that same time.
