My name is Stacie Chalakee, and I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with families through our hybrid Christian homeschool program. I have spent nearly twenty years in education, teaching students from preschool through 8th grade in both Oklahoma and Mississippi, and I am currently a licensed Mississippi teacher. Over the past year, I have also had the joy of homeschooling my own children—celebrating my daughter Niki’s graduation as she prepares to attend MGCCC this fall and guiding my son Zak as he enters 7th grade. My husband Bill and I have been married for 22 years, and through both my classroom experience and my journey as a homeschool parent, I have seen a growing need for a supportive, Christ‑centered hybrid model. This program was born from a desire to serve like‑minded families, offering structure, partnership, and a community anchored in faith.
