Key Leader Highlight: Senior Director of Advancement, Jacquie Antoun

Mrs. Jacquie Antoun serves as the Senior Director of Advancement at Crean Lutheran. She began working at Crean Lutheran in 2013 and feels incredibly blessed to be part of the Saints Community. Mrs. Antoun felt led to join the staff at Crean Lutheran because she loves the school's mission and prays that God will use her gifts to bless the Saints Community. In high school, Mrs. Antoun played tennis, was on the swim team, and served on ASB. One of her favorite memories at Crean Lutheran was the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the North Campus expansion project in 2018. Mrs. Antoun’s advice for high school students is to embrace your parents’ wisdom, study hard, and trust the Lord in all you do. Her favorite Bible verse is Psalm 19:14: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer." We are so grateful for Mrs. Antoun’s leadership here at Crean Lutheran.
