HCS Men's Golf Tournament

Congratulations to Darren Jones, Jake Womack, and Leo Acosta for winning the “HCS Men’s Golf Tournament” held March 25, 2023 at Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego.

Sponsored by the HCS Board, the golf tournament was a time of fellowship for HCS dads and a fundraiser for the HCS Tuition Relief Fund.

The Board will be planning some more casual men’s events in the future, including some "golf for fun” and prayer breakfasts.

For information about the qualifications and duties of Board members, please go to the member's password-protected area of the website, enter the passcode, and locate the Bylaws (under Documents).

The nomination period is currently closed.

Board Member Nomination Process

The Board Nomination process can be summarized as follows: Members submit Board Nominations during a nomination period. Those nominations are then turned over to a Nomination Committee comprised of a former Board member, the Principal, and current or past members of our volunteer leadership team. Together, this committee meets with qualified nominees and then passes along their recommendations to the full Board. The Board will then proceed to interview potential candidates based on the committee’s recommendations.

The nomination process runs from February 1st through February 28th with the goal of completing the Nomination Committee meetings by March 11th and the Board interviews by the end of March.

Please send your nominations to HCSboard@hcssd.org. You do not need to confirm the interest of the nominee to submit their name (though you are certainly welcome to do so). The committee will reach out and let the nominee know they have been nominated and determine whether or not they want to proceed.

Your role as members is absolutely vital in this process. We are looking to you to bring forth men who you believe share our passion and vision for Heritage Christian School. We hope that you will take some time to think through at least one or two nominations. Self-nominations are also welcomed.

MARC CRAWFORD

Chairman

Marc Crawford and his wife, Amy, will celebrate their 22nd wedding anniversary this year. They are blessed with two children, Olivia and Darin. Their family has been homeschooling with Heritage Christian School since 2012, when their oldest, Olivia (Class of 2024) started first grade. They have attended Bonita Class Day since 2012, where they have thrived in the loving and harmonious environment amongst the Bonita families. Through this group they have made some amazing friendships and worked with wonderful mentors and encouragers throughout their homeschool journey. They have also been involved with HCS Drama Club and, most recently, the HCS Band Club.

Professionally, Marc has served as a Naval Officer for over 25 years and currently a Commodore for a Division of ships at Naval Base San Diego. He has an MBA from the University of Hawaii and, although this is his first term on the Board; Marc looks forward to the opportunity to give back to the school that has given so much to his family.

Between Amy and Marc, she first felt the call to homeschool after Olivia finished kindergarten. Admittedly, Marc was skeptical at first. However, after he attended an HCS homeschooling seminar, he too, felt called to homeschool. There was just something special about HCS and he knew that these were the kind of Christ-centered families they wanted to be around as they educate their children with a Christian perspective. They feel extremely blessed to live in a country where homeschooling is allowed.

KENT GOBLE

Vice-Chairman

Kent Goble and wife, Charmin, have been married for 21 years. She is his rock and his life's true love from the first moment that they met. The Lord has blessed them with three children - Nehemiah, Magdelyn and Abigail.

They completely committed to homeschooling their children beginning in 2008, starting their journey at Heritage Christian School which continues to this present day. It is hard to count the many blessings that Heritage and homeschooling have brought to their lives. They are so grateful to God that the Homeschool community has been preserved and has allowed them to raise their children in the admonition of the Lord. The importance of God being the cornerstone of their day to day schooling has cemented HIS presence in science, math, history, language, and most importantly, LIFE, for their family - this truly has been priceless.

LEO ACOSTA

Member

Leo Acosta was born and raised in Los Angeles and he met the love of his life, Laura, at a church camp there in 1998. They have been happily married for 19 years now and are blessed with 5 beautiful children - Sophia, Dalia, Mia, Lincoln, and Julia. They will be beginning their eleventh year homeschooling this year and have enjoyed being part of Heritage since 2013.

Although they didn’t imagine themselves homeschooling their children at the beginning, they chose to do it at first just because they didn’t like the schools in their neighborhood at the time. However, over time and once they began to see the amazing benefits for their children, their relationships, and their family as a whole, they soon realized that it was the will of God for their lives to educate their children at home. They are extremely grateful to God for this freedom.

Professionally, Leo is a middle school counselor and has enjoyed guiding students academically and supporting them socially and emotionally for the past 15 years.

Both being products of public school, Allissa in Davison, MI and Jake in San Diego, CA, they recognize and understand the importance of parents taking on the responsibility of teaching their children.

They are starting their second year with Heritage Christian Schools.

Jake has been a credentialed English teacher for San Diego Unified for 14 years and has seen first hand the positives and negatives of public school. Jake is currently the Dean of Students at an A-Typical school within SDUSD, and he sees the role of the family being active in a student's education more important than ever before.

As a family, the Womack’s enjoy camping, swimming, traveling, Little League, golf, bike riding, and many other outdoor activities. They drive to Michigan every summer to spend quality time with Allissa’s family and they enjoy stopping throughout the country to explore exciting places. They are blessed to call San Diego their home and have gained lifelong friendships through their church and through Heritage Christian.
