ABOUT THE TEACHER
Caitlin Henard
B.A. in Education
Caitlin graduated from Richard Bland College and Longwood University with a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies of Elementary Education. Mrs.Henard has a LOVE for math and science and always preferred taking classes that tied them together in college such as chemistry and physics. She often finds herself looking for connections to God's perfect design in our world. Even though her college professors encouraged her to major in math and science, her desire to begin her teaching career sooner helped her decide to stick with her original choice: teaching. Caitlin has taught elementary and middle school across several subjects in the public school setting. She currently lives in Colonial Heights with her husband and her son. Together they attend Destination Church and serve in the youth program. She is excited to take her love of teaching to new levels at Bridge Academy.
