Mrs. Beth Gohn, Pre-K and K
I am very excited to be joining Big Cove Christian Academy as the Pre-K and Kindergarten Teacher. I have taught preschool for over 8 years and have also homeschooled my own children for 6 years. I love watching the excitement on children’s faces as they learn new things.
I am married and have 2 children in college at UAH. When not at school, I like doing puzzles and playing board games with my family.

Miss Melissa Boyd, 1-3
I am excited to be the First through Third Grade teacher here at Big Cove Christian Academy. I earned my BA degree in Elementary Education from Southern Adventist University, with a minor in Outdoor education. I am passionate about getting my students excited about school while reconnecting them with God through nature.
When I’m not teaching I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, canoeing, kayaking, caving and backpacking. You can often find me with a good book in the branches of a tree, or working with my father on my schoolie, a tiny house built into a school bus.

Mrs. Wendy Boyd, Grades 4-5
I am thrilled to teach at Big Cove Christian Academy where we emphasize not only academic excellence but also our students’ relationship with God. When you visit my classroom, you will find strong academics and exceptional education being delivered using a wide variety of teaching methods to meet the needs of individual students. You will see a community of learners who are committed to working together, working hard, and being challenged to do their best. I am committed to inspiring young minds to achieve their God given potential.
I am a passionate educator with extensive experience in the arts, curriculum development, and classroom management. I earned my BS degree in Elementary Education from Elmira University and since then I have earned graduate endorsements in Reading and Literacy, History, and Early Childhood Instruction. I am currently working towards a Master’s Degree in Education from Southern Adventist University (2021).
Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, reading, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and traveling.

Mrs. Rebecca Adonia, Principal and Grades 6-8
Welcome! I’m Rebecca Adonia, and it is a joy and privilege to serve as a teacher and principal at Big Cove Christian Academy. Born and raised in Germany, I bring about six years of experience in education, including more than five years as a teacher and three years as a principal. I hold a Master’s degree in Education for Secondary and Comprehensive Schools, and my passion for education is rooted in the belief that every child is uniquely and wonderfully created by God, with individual gifts, talents, and interests that enrich the world around them.
One of my greatest joys is connecting with my students, discovering their God-given gifts, understanding the challenges they face, and encouraging them to grow beyond their limitations. I believe that learning is not just about academic achievement but also about discovering who we are, recognizing the value of others, and learning how our differences can become a blessing to those around us.
Beyond education, I have a love for music and languages. I speak German, English and Spanish, and I enjoy the ways language and music bring people together across cultures and backgrounds. I also believe that learning is a lifelong journey. Just like my students and their parents, I am continually learning, growing, and discovering new ways to become the person God has called me to be.
I am blessed to share my life with my husband, Pastor Moises Adonia. As I serve in the classroom and school community, my prayer is to let God guide my work, foster an environment of harmony, and purpose excellence in all that we do — not according to the world’s standards, but according to His will. My desire is to see every student flourish, every individual feel valued, and our school grow into a community where faith, learning, and love go hand in hand.
