CLARKSVILLE, TN – Clarksville Christian School is pleased to welcome veteran school administrator Jerry Lawrence as Upper School principal beginning with the 2021-22 school year.
During his 25-year career in education, he has worked in both public and private school settings as a teacher, coach and administrator.
Lawrence is coming to CCS from Lubbock Christian School, where he has worked for the past eight years. In his role as High School principal for LCS, he also served as a commissioner for the National Christian School Association. He has been heavily involved in the accreditation and school improvement process for private schools and will continue to serve in this capacity once on board at Clarksville Christian.
“We are honored that Principal Lawrence is joining the CCS family,” President Brad Moser said. “He is a proven leader who has a passion for Christian education. His extensive background and expertise will further strengthen our team and add to the momentum that our school is experiencing.”
Lawrence will be assuming the reins as principal from Stephanie G. Travis, who was recently named the new community relations director and will remain a member of the senior administrative team.
“I am excited to serve at CCS, to see Christ’s love shining through her students, whether it is in the classroom, the court, field, hallways or chapel,” Lawrence said. “It is an awesome responsibility to help prepare the next generation to be leaders for Christ.”
Jerry attributes much of his success to his wife, Jennifer, long-time head volleyball coach at Lubbock Christian University. Jennifer will be joining the CCS staff as head volleyball coach and assistant athletic director.
They have two daughters, Cailey and Carsynn. The Lawrence duo noted that they “are excited to partner with the CCS community” and about the future God has in store.
