Delaney McDonald, Staff Writer Mrs. Henderson is new to NSC and teaches middle school math. Within her classroom, she creates such a fun learning environment to keep students engaged. Students love her joyful greetings, stories, and constant laughter in her classroom. She grew up locally in Virginia Beach and attended the University of Virginia. Then, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies and a Masters of Teaching in elementary education. She also has an endorsement in middle school math, which she’s putting to good use at NCS.

As a child, Mrs. Henderson dreamed of being a figure skater, such as the ones performing at this year’s Winter Olympics. However, God had a different plan for her. Before becoming a teacher at Norfolk Christian, she was a stay-at-home mom for ten years and homeschooled her four children. Mrs. Henderson wanted to become a teacher because she loves “math and middle schoolers…a love that came from God Himself!” She also said that her eighth grade algebra teacher inspired her to become a classroom teacher. What Mrs. Henderson loves most about being an NCS teacher in the tight-knit community. She remarks: ”My faith guides me to trust God and point my students to Him, and to pray and seek him as I teach. I’m not doing this on my own!” Lastly, her favorite bible verse is Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” WELCOME TO NCS, WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU!
