Welcome, Megan Kooima!

We are excited to introduce our first new hire for the 2025-26 school year! Mrs. Megan Kooima will join us as our new Director of the Learning Center.
Since 2019, our current director, Mrs. Dirksen, has poured her heart into the Learning Center, blessing our community with her leadership, love for the Lord, and unwavering commitment to each student. Her prayerful desire has been to transition the program to a new leader when God provided the right candidate.
Megan Kooima currently serves as the principal of Ireton Christian School, where she has led transformative initiatives since 2020 to enhance academic performance, engagement, and overall school culture while staying rooted in Christian values. With over 18 years of experience in education and a background as a business owner, The Excel Achievement Center in Sioux Center, Megan is passionate about fostering inclusive, Christ-centered learning environments.
Megan's leadership includes developing specialized programs to support diverse student needs, including those with dyslexia, and empowering teachers through professional development to improve classroom engagement for each learner. She is committed to equipping students to become compassionate, Christ-centered leaders and continues to make a lasting impact through her dedication to faith-based education.
Welcome to the Pack, Megan!
