| Meet Mrs. Bradley | Logic School Math & Science |
Mrs. Ashley Bradley joins the Logic School as our 6th grade math and 7th grade science teacher. Mrs. Bradley earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Howard Payne University and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from University of Houston. She brings 15 years of experience teaching math and science across a variety of grade levels in both elementary and middle school, most recently serving students in Midway ISD. Ashley and her husband of 16 years have two children—a son William (age 6) and a daughter Madeline (age 8)—who, in her words, “…keep our lives busy and full of fun. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, attending our children’s activities, and making memories together. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, traveling, watching my kids play sports, and spending quality time with family and friends.” Welcome to Live Oak, Mrs. Bradley!

| Jenna & Luke Garst | Class of 2019 |
We’re excited to share a two-for-one spotlight this week! Jenna and Luke Garst graduated from Live Oak in 2019, married in 2022, and completed a Master of Accountancy (Luke) and Master of Speech Language Pathology (Jenna) in 2023 and 2024, respectively, from Baylor University. In 2024, they moved to Fort Worth where they welcomed Greta, their daughter, in October 2025.
Jenna, Luke, and Greta recently moved back to the Waco area, and Luke is working at Sendero Provisions Co. In Jenna’s words, “The Lord has been very kind to guide us through Live Oak and all the years since – we are grateful!” Likewise, we give thanks for Jenna, Luke, and future Falcon Greta! |

Live Oak Leadership at the Society of Classical Learning Conference |
|
|
|
|
Our Administrative Team and members of the Board of Trustees recently joined school leaders from around the country at the Society of Classical Learning’s Annual Conference in Dallas. We were glad to have some of our newest board members attend, including Jane Parks whose key takeaways from the experience included: “The conference gave me renewed clarity about the mission of classical Christian education. It is unapologetically rooted in God – no in the changing values of culture, but in His unchanging truth, which shapes minds, forms character, and transforms the soul. Knowing this has helped me answer so many questions like ‘why Latin?’ and ‘why read great texts?’ Knowing the ‘why’ within the classical Christian education context will better equip me as a board member.”
