Farewell to Veteran Employees

We are thankful for the combined 57 years of service and dedication to Charlotte Christian School.

Miss Sharon Humphrey

36 years in education - 12 years at CCS

Miss Sharon Humphrey is retiring from Charlotte Christian School after serving as the director of Extended Day for the past two years and prior to that 10 years as the lower school principal. During her tenure as principal, she led the process of revamping the lower school curriculum, introduced the STEM program to the lower school, oversaw the development of the robotics teams, strengthened the after-school clubs program, and significantly grew lower school enrollment. Most importantly, she has shepherded the hearts of thousands of students and pointed families to Jesus. “For more than 35 years Sharon has served God by using her gifts and talents to serve lower school families at three Christian schools. I am so grateful for her steadfast leadership, her amazing contributions to our senior staff, and most importantly, her friendship,” shared Head of School Barry Giller.

Mrs. Lynda Collins

27 years in education at CCS

Mrs. Lynda Collins is retiring from her role as the early education administrative assistant after 27 years of joyful service to Charlotte Christian. “Lynda embodies servant leadership,” shared Lower School Principal Brandon Henderson. “She has faithfully served the Early Education students and teachers in a way Christ has love for us - selfless, instantaneous, sincere, and passionate. She loves and cares for those under her protection fiercely and has made an eternal impact on hundreds of students who have come through that building!”

Mr. Allen Nielsen

46 years in education - 18 years at CCS

After 18 years of faithful service to Charlotte Christian School, Mr. Allen Nielsen retired from his director of facilities and security role at the end of February 2024. Mr. Nielsen served for six years in this role and prior to that, he was our upper school principal for 12 years. “In his 48-year career, including 30 years as a high school principal, Mr. Nielsen has faithfully heeded God’s call on His life to serve in Christian education,” shared Head of School Barry Giller. “When I think of Mr. Nielsen, I am reminded of I Samuel 12:24 which says, ‘Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.’”
