While McKinney Christian Academy enters a new school year, staff and families welcome new principles across all three campuses.

Karen Krusing is the new Lower School principal. This is her 26th year in education, and she has taught all grades first through seventh except 2nd grade. Her past three years have been spent in Middle School as a 6th-grade Math and 7th-grade Bible teacher. Before that, Krusing had spent eight years teaching fifth grade. She has been married to her husband Steve for 29 years and they have three children, Lizzy (23), Sarah (19) and Nate (16). This is her family’s 12th year at MCA. She loves reading, playing card games with her family and caring for her flower garden in her free time. Her favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6.

Chance Dorris is the new Middle School principal and has taught and coached in McKinney and Frisco ISD, and most recently, worked in administration at Lone Star High School. Dorris’ wife, Ashten, is an early childhood minister and Pre-K director at Rhea’s Mill Baptist Church in Prosper and together they have four kids ages 2 – 11. They are both passionate about discipleship towards kids, teens and young adults and he feels God has provided them with opportunities for this.
