2 CUMBERLITE THE ANNUAL REPORT 2022

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN, 

GARY RUSTAD 

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, 

SERGE GARIEPY 

I recently watched a little boy trying to 

roll a log into a stream. He tried to get 

the log rolling but he could not get it to 

turn over. He kicked it, he laid on the 

ground and tried to push, and he tried 

to pick it up – nothing worked! He ran 

off as I was watching him. I figured it 

was smart for him to give up as he was 

not going to get that log in the water. After about two minutes, 

the boy came running back and behind him was a friend. He 

looked at his friend and explained, “See, this is the log! We can 

get it in!” Both boys walked around the log and then decided 

on a game plan. They both got behind the log and began 

to push. The log budged a little, but still wouldn’t roll. After 

another attempt, they saw a friend running by and called him 

over. Again, the explanation of the problem and the goal was 

given. The three boys got behind the log and pushed together. 

The log began to roll, and the one whose dream it had been 

to get the log in the water shouted, “Keep pushing, the log is 

rolling!” As the log plopped into the water, the boys shouted, 

“We did it!” 

“We did it!” Every fall, there are thousands of kids around 

this country that begin their 9th-12th grade school year. 

Every spring there are thousands of kids across this country 

that celebrate completing those years. The final product is 

important, yet I would suggest it is the way it happens that 

makes the difference. This is what makes Georgia-Cumberland 

Academy and Adventist Education special – the “we.” Education 

that is centered in Christ (and partnered with faculty and 

pastors that recognize ultimate success) only happens when 

we work together with God. 

You are a big part of making that “we” possible for current 

and future GCA students with your prayers, your support, and 

sharing the blessings of GCA with family and friends to help 

the team grow. I’m seeing for 

myself the impact this teamwork 

is having on our family - more 

specifically how teamwork 

impacts our GCA freshman 

daughter’s education! Partnering 

with Jesus is powerful, friends! 

Join me in praying for our GCA 

students, faculty, and staff. May 

God continue to be with them 

in every class, every activity, and 

every friendship. 

Lockdown, quarantine, social 

distancing, and masks were a part of 

our lives for nearly two years. During 

that time, many of us felt isolated 

and alone. Mental health concerns 

rose during the pandemic because of 

the isolation. This recent chapter in 

our lives reconfirmed something that 

has always been true and is written into the fabric of who 

we are - that we are better when we are together. Churches 

thrive when congregations can fellowship in the same space 

together. Schools flourish when teachers and students can put 

Zoom aside and be in the classroom together. We are better 

when we are together. 

As a math teacher, I am naturally drawn to formulas and 

equations. There is a simple elegance when problems balance 

out in mathematics. However, something unique happens 

when you have people as part of your equations. One plus 

one is not just two. When two or more people come together, 

you get something extra beyond what you would have had by 

just adding each individual person together with a common 

purpose. Teamwork produces something greater than the sum 

of the individual parts. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, Solomon wisely 

stated that "Two are better than one because they have a good 

return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help 

the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help 

them up (NIV)." 

At GCA, we see this in action every day all over campus. Our 

students are better when they're playing together, studying 

together, and worshiping together. Our school is better when 

we are working hand-in-hand with our parents, our alumni, 

our conference, and the local community. We are better 

through the partnership we have with donors who give to the 

Worthy Student Fund and other programs on our campus 

ensuring that our students can 

be here to know Jesus, love Him 

and those He brings into our 

lives, and serve Him and those 

around us. 

WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER! 

THANK YOU!

Better Together 

in Generosity 

A MESSAGE FROM 

THE ALUMNI AND 

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, 

NANCY GERARD 

“O, Lord my God, you have performed many wonders 

for us. Your plans are too numerous for us to list. You 

have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful 

deeds, I would never come to the end of them.” Psalm 

40:5 NLT 

Looking back at what God has done in the past 

strengthens our faith for what lies ahead. 

God has “performed many wonders” through YOU! 

Because of you, our enrollment is strong, our programs 

are outstanding, and our facilities are beyond what most 

academies have. God has used YOU to transform the 

lives of our students and lead them to Jesus. 

And yet God can do even greater things than what 

He has done in the past! 

When combined, your gifts and those of others are 

multiplied in miraculous ways by God to make an 

eternal difference in the lives of our students! He isn’t 

done using YOU to help this ministry thrive. We are truly 

Better Together when we give. 

As we look ahead to what God has in store for the 

next few years at GCA, we are confident because 

of what He has done in the past. Our faith is strong 

because we know our God is all-powerful! His “many 

wonders for us” are not just a thing of the past. 

You have witnessed with us what God has accomplished 

at GCA through the generosity of His people. You 

understand the power and impact of Adventist 

education. Would you consider a gift to GCA this year to 

make an eternal difference in the lives of our students? 

We are truly Better Together in our generosity! 

A MESSAGE FROM 

THE BUSINESS MANAGER, 

SUSAN JENKINS 

Have you ever heard someone say, “That’s a good 

problem to have”? Georgia-Cumberland Academy had a 

few of those during the 2021-2022 school year. Record 

enrollment required some quick problem-solving as 

we made sure we had enough classes, space, staffing, 

equipment, and transportation for our students, 

without compromising quality or safety. These are good 

problems to have. Good problems are challenges that, 

when met, produce growth and improvement. I’m proud 

to say Georgia-Cumberland Academy is meeting those 

challenges. We continue to operate in the black and 

are optimistic that we will have the resources to face 

changing economic conditions. However, we don’t face 

these challenges alone. We couldn’t do it alone. 

As I reflect on the 2021-22 school year, one of my 

greatest concerns was ensuring we could help our 

students and families be able to afford tuition while 

safeguarding the school’s financial position. Because of 

the hard work of our faculty and staff and the generous 

support of donors, including the Georgia-Cumberland 

Conference, and the Southern Union, our dorms and 

classrooms were bursting at the seams with students 

from all income levels. Record enrollment means record 

financial need. You helped us meet the need, providing 

safety, stability, and a quality education to over 300 

students. I am inspired by the prayerful, financial 

giving of our families, donors, and the church, working 

together to make sure a student is enrolled at GCA. Not 

one of us could do it alone. Thank you for your part in 

keeping Georgia-Cumberland Academy strong.

Memorial Gifts 

GEORGIA TAX CREDIT 

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 

The following donors made gifts to GCA in honor and memory of those 

who have made a positive difference in their lives and the lives of others. 

These generous gifts enhance specific projects and scholarship through 

funds and endowments that benefit GCA students. Donors are listed 

below the honoree. 

Since 2008, the state of Georgia has 

allowed for the redirection of state 

income tax liability to approved 

student scholarship programs, 

for the purpose of need-based 

financial aid. GCA participates in 

this program by partnering with the 

Georgia Tuition Assistance Program 

(GATAP), a qualified SSO. If you 

earn income in Georgia, making 

a gift for GCA through an SSO is 

a win-win opportunity. Your gifts 

made payable to GATAP, provide 

financial aid to GCA students who 

might not be able to attend without 

your assistance. SSO contributions 

over the last fiscal year totaled 

$124,550! We would like to thank 

the following alumni, alumni 

parents, grandparents, faculty, and

Hailing from North Carolina, 

CHEYENNE ARMSTRONG 

was hired near the end of last school 

year as a food service assistant. 

She has an associate degree in the 

applied science of nutrition and 

dietetics with a CDM certification. 

Cheyenne started her career in food 

service as a teenager. Her supervisor 

at the time became a mentor and 

someone that she looked up to. 

Looking back, she realizes that she 

was trained in an environment that 

taught students a love of serving 

God through service to others. 

She prays that she can create that 

same kind of environment with 

the students that she works with 

at GCA. In her free time, Cheyenne 

loves spending time with family and 

friends, cooking and playing games. 

GCA alumna, CHRISTIAN 

(HAMILTON) PEEL, ’15, was 

hired at the beginning of this school 

year to teach pre-algebra classes. 

Originally from Florida, Christian 

attended GCA all four years and 

appreciates the life-long friendships 

that she created as a student on 

campus. She is currently working 

on a master’s degree in education. 

In her spare time, she and her 

husband, Justin, ’16, enjoy spending 

time outdoors in nature. 

JESSICA CHITURA is the new 

women’s dorm assistant dean. 

A native Michigander, Jessica is 

married to Johannes and they 

have three children – Samuel, 

Karina, and Josie. She holds BA 

degrees in Spanish and French from 

Andrews University, as well as a 

post graduate diploma in education 

from Zimbabwe Open University. 

She previously spent time living 

and working in a children’s home in 

Honduras. While there, she learned 

from her mentor, Gloria Ortiz, the 

importance of prayer as a part of 

daily life. She reflects fondly on the 

time they spent talking to God as a 

friend and a father. She strives to 

follow that example by committing 

herself to God through constant 

conversation with Him as she 

embraces the role of assistant dean 

at GCA. 


Calling both Chattanooga, 

Tennessee and Kailua, Hawaii, home, 

CHRIS HARRIS joined the GCA 

family as the director of guidance 

and counseling this school year. He 

earned an undergraduate degree in 

psychology and a master’s degree in 

counseling from Southern Adventist 

University. In 2017, he graduated 

from Trevecca Nazarene University 

with a PhD in counseling. He is a 

licensed, professional counselor 

with over 20 years of experience in 

the mental health field. His clinical 

specialties focus on eating disorders, 

addiction, and trauma. He and his 

wife Meghan have four children – 

Samantha, Madeleine, Colton, and 

Theodore. In his spare time, he likes 

hiking with his family and working 

on home improvement projects. 

Originally from Canada, MELISSA 

JOHNSON earned a BA in English 

from Oakwood University and an 

MAT from Andrews University in 

education with a communications 

emphasis. This school year, Melissa 

teaches sophomore English classes 

and a dual-enrollment speech 

course through SAU, in addition to 

serving as the yearbook advisor. 

She has been married to Juleun, her 

college sweetheart for 19 years and 

they have two children – Morgan 

and Julia. Some of her hobbies 

include traveling, scrapbooking, 

reading, and painting. 

IRA MILLS, SR. is no stranger to 

GCA. His oldest daughter, Anderson, 

graduated from GCA in 2021. His 

younger daughter Rory, ’23, and son 

Ira, ’25, currently attend GCA. He 

earned a BA in biology and an MS 

in educational administration and 

supervision from Southern Adventist 

University. While teaching classes 

at the high school level, he earned 

a BSN at Remington College and 

transitioned to the field of nursing. 

GCA students taking Ira’s classes 

have the benefit of his nursing 

knowledge as they take biology, 

anatomy and physiology, and 

health care science classes. Married 

to Cindy for 29 years, Ira enjoys 

working on home improvement 

projects and barefoot waterskiing. 

A’LISA SORENSEN grew up 

in Jamaica and Trinidad until the 

age of nine when her family moved 

to Massachusetts. She has a BA 

in Spanish Studies and a minor in 

English, as well as dual MA degrees 

in administration and educational 

leadership. As the new vice 

principal, she also teaches freshman 

experience classes and serves as a 

Student Association sponsor. She 

believes that students have been 

the biggest influence in her career. 

She thinks of who they are and who 

they will become, and it encourages 

her to put her best foot forward. 

A’Lisa and her husband Andrew have 

been married since 2019 and have a 

daughter named Noel. In her spare 

time, A’Lisa enjoys spending time 

with her family, cooking and baking, 

reading, watching HGTV, listening 

to music, watching and playing 

basketball, and eating at great 

restaurants.

Welcome to LOUIS LICHT, '99, new 

Alumni President-elect! 

Last year, we introduced the position 

of president-elect, which was held 

by Rhondda (Robinson) Thomas, ’78. 

This year, Rhondda is our 2022-2023 

alumni president. Louis Licht, ’99, has 

graciously accepted the position of 

president-elect. 

Louis Licht has many interests, but 

a couple of things he is passionate 

about are Adventist education and 

ongoing, intentional involvement 

in his local community. As a GCA 

alumnus, he has gone out into the 

larger Chattanooga area and has been 

an active member in both his church 

and professional organizations. 

He works for Starkey Printing 

Company as a sales and marketing 

representative and is the head deacon 

for Collegedale Community Adventist 

Church. His involvement with the 

church has placed him in a servantleadership 

role where he meets the 

needs of church members while 

finding ways to broaden the church’s 

reach to impact its surrounding 

communities. It is this involvement 

that has continued to instill an 

appreciation for close ties and 

relationships - aspects that he looks 

forward to fostering within his role as 

the alumni president-elect. 

When Louis is not actively involved 

with his church or local community, 

he enjoys spending time with his wife, 

Stacy Bruce Licht, ’96, and two sons, 

Asher (14) and Camden (11). They have 

a love for national parks and enjoy 

playing many sports together. Louis is 

honored to serve and looks forward to 

connecting with many of you soon.

Deborah Theus 

OCTOBER 27, 1962 – SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 

The Old Testament contains many stories 

that demonstrate God’s ability to step 

into human history and work through 

people during challenging times. Maybe 

you remember the story of a little orphan 

girl named Hadassah, who went to live 

with her uncle and would eventually 

be established in Persian royalty. When 

she, her family and her people were 

facing annihilation, it was her uncle who 

uttered that famous line “And who knows 

whether you have not come to the 

kingdom for such a time as this?” (ESV, 

Esther 4:14). 

A similar, more modern statement as 

that which was uttered by Esther’s uncle 

Mordechai is the following: "The two 

most important days in your life are the 

day you are born and the day you find 

out why." 

Occasionally, if we are very fortunate, 

we see God working to put someone 

into a position or a place at exactly the 

right time, to accomplish something 

important. There is nothing more 

exciting and gratifying than to see that 

happen in your life, or in the lives of 

those you know and love. 

When Deborah Theus came to work at 

GCA in 2006, it was one of those events 

when the needs of GCA intersected 

with the unique talents and God-given 

spiritual gifts of Deborah. Throughout 

her time at GCA, Deborah provided 

important leadership in eliminating 

all debt at the academy, bringing our 

financial management to new standards 

of professionalism, and building financial 

reserves that brought stability to our 

school. 

Deborah was on the cutting edge 

of implementing new financial 

management software at GCA. She 

converted our financial records from 

antiquated software to a new program, 

at a time when the software was so 

new it did not have adequate written 

documentation and very few people 

understood how the software worked. 

Deborah was then able to provide 

assistance to other institutions going 

through the software conversion. 

The years when Deborah worked at GCA 

were also filled with many times of great 

fun and joy. Deborah never hesitated to 

get involved in all aspects of school life. 

She loved her time with students and 

traveled internationally with academy 

students many times. Deborah became 

an integral part of our leadership team 

and her influence helped change the 

culture of GCA. I will always remember 

her wisdom, friendship, and the joy she 

brought to our time here. Deborah, as 

much as anyone I have ever known, was 

able to push through whatever pain and 

discomfort life served up, to make things 

happen. 

Deborah Theus retired due to a medical 

challenge in 2019 and passed away on 

September 20, 2022. Deborah left behind 

three daughters, Rebecca, ’10, Molly, 

’11, and Sarah, ’12, as well as son-in-law 

David Mancao, and grandson Bodhi.
