Shelly Karl - Algebra I
For many years, I taught middle school and high school math. Then, I was a school counselor for ten years. In 2011, I started teaching math at Eagle Creek. As a classroom teacher, my focus was on getting to know my students and motivating them to excel. Recently, I became Eagle Creek's Director of Student Services. In this role, I provide day-to-day guidance to children and their parents. I also enjoy working with our devoted and compassionate teachers to bring their goals to life. I am delighted with Eagle Creek's close-knit community, and I love my current role. In my spare time, I enjoy fitness and reading. I look forward to getting to know your family. BS in Elementary Education from Oakland University MA in Guidance and Counseling from Oakland University
Nate Pietrzak - Math & Science Teacher, grades 5678
I am passionate about maximizing potential and seeing the best in every learner. Most importantly, I love to have fun! I believe students see the world best through strong literacy skills, and I back up that approach. I own several thousand children's books, and I am always reading something myself. Whether it is keeping up on professional skills or enjoying a summer novel, I always have my nose in a book. Outside of the classroom, I have coached girls' basketball, coached the Battle of the Books, coached STRIDE (a mentoring program), and written and directed school plays. Before coming to Eagle Creek in 2016, I worked at Detroit Leadership Academy, St. Genevieve Catholic School, Dr. Charles Drew Academy, and Highland Park Renaissance Academy. I am grateful to serve the students here at Eagle Creek, and I am eager to meet you. BS in Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University
Mrs. Teresa Larson - Social Studies and Language Arts teacher, grades 5678
I have taught and tutored children from infancy to 12th grade since 2006. I truly believe that a child's social, emotional, and physical development are just as important as his academic learning, and that a healthy, happy and confident child will be a successful child. One of my goals is to encourage children to analyze problems, make decisions and try out various solutions. I also have a passion for creating engaging science lessons. The way I see it, personal discovery is the cornerstone of learning. I look forward to helping your child along his path. BS in Geography from Michigan State University Post-bachelors in Elementary Ed. from Arizona State University
Mrs. Crissa King - Grade 4 Teacher
I grew up in a family that prioritized learning and encouraged me to explore my interests. My parents and my sister are teachers; it is in our blood! I started helping in my mom's first grade class after school when I was twelve, and I was amazed by how well the kids responded to me. Just a few days of playing games, reading books and singing songs, and I was hooked! I have kept that joy for teaching since I started teaching in 2003. During these years, I have taught from Kindergarten to 6th grade, including some time as a teacher of gifted students. My goals are to meet each child at his academic level and give him opportunities to explore his favorite topics, so he can take ownership and become an expert in his area of interest. I am very much looking forward to teaching your child. BS in Education from Central Michigan University MS in Family Studies from California State University
Mrs. Amie Gamache - Grade 3 Teacher
By the time I was in eighth grade and given the chance to help with the little kids in the tiny private school I attended, I knew that teaching was the profession for me. All through high school and college, I taught preschool classes and summer camps at the Parks and Rec. After graduating from Michigan State, my first teaching experience was in that same tiny school, followed by nine years of teaching elementary school in Flint Public Schools. Along the way, I led my school's technology team and worked as a tech trainer for the Genesee Intermediate School District, showing teachers throughout the county how to integrate technology into their classrooms. I joined Eagle Creek in 2005. Since then, I have taught preschool, Kindergarten, first grade and technology at Eagle Creek. One of my passions is finding ways to integrate engineering principals into regular math and science lessons. I am also dedicated to teaching a firm grasp of language. I want my students to have the tools to gather information, process it, and share their interpretations with others. When my two oldest daughters graduated from Eagle Creek, I was delighted that they had gained the self-confidence to excel at their high school academics and clubs. I enjoy offering that same experience to all of our students. BA in Education from Michigan State University MA in Early Childhood Education from Oakland University
Ms. Stephani Johnson - Grade 3 Teacher & Spanish Teacher
I have always had a deep passion for learning and working with children. I started in education in 2009, and I couldn't be more excited to be part of the Eagle Creek Academy family. I strive to build personal relationships with my students both inside and outside the classroom. I especially like to supervise after-school clubs focusing on children's passions. I really enjoy teaching through hands-on activities and fostering a lifelong love of learning. Outside the classroom, I love to travel, watch sports and play outside with my dog. BS in Integrated Sciences and Elementary Education from Grand Valley State University MEd in Early Childhood Education with a ZS in Early Childhood Special Education Preschool-3rd Grade from Oakland University
Mrs. Cathie Passon - Grade 2 Teacher
When I was in fourth grade at St. Anne's, I decided I was going to be a teacher. My teacher was an inspiration, because she made learning meaningful and enjoyable at the same time. Over the years, I have taught second, fourth and fifth grades and special education. One highlight was implementing the new elementary science curriculum at Akiva Day School. Another was starting at Eagle Creek in 2011. One of my personal goals is to encourage students to take responsibility for their learning and develop pride in their work. Another personal goal is to find unique ways to celebrate each child's family and heritage. Every year, I get excited about working with new students and their families. BS in Education from Western Michigan University
Mrs. Nicole Minton - Grade 1 Teacher
Before coming to Eagle Creek in 2012, I was an academic specialist, finding new ways to present challenging material to small groups of students. I have also worked in a clinic with students who are on the autistic spectrum. That was very rewarding, because I was able to help them find ways to communicate and grow. After many years of working with children, I am happy to be at Eagle Creek where I can build a classroom and a community. As a mother myself, I believe wholeheartedly in connecting and communicating with parents. I can't wait to get to know you and your children! BS in Earth Science from Michigan State University Post-bachelors in Education from Saginaw Valley State University
Mrs. Stephanie Pinson - Kindergarten Teacher
When I was a child, I would rush home from school and play teacher. In college, I tried to go the business route, but I couldn't see myself sitting at a desk all day. Changing my major to education was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For many years, I taught at Walton Charter Academy and Alpine Academy. I have been at Eagle Creek since 2005, teaching fourth grade and Kindergarten. I love coming to work every day. I am a big believer in active, hands-on learning, and I like finding new ways to get the children on their feet. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the children's growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. BA in Education from Oakland University MA in Early Childhood Education from Oakland University
Mrs. Jenn Devine - Preschool Teacher
I have been working with children as a preschool teacher, a Kindergarten teacher, a special education teacher, and a mentor for at-risk students since 1997. I am certified to teach K-12, and I have a special endorsement for teaching children who have learning disabilities. My favorite is three- and four-year-old children, because they make me smile, keep me guessing, and learn so quickly. I enjoy creating challenging learning opportunities in the classroom and in the natural world. For example, one of my favorite activities is studying animal footprints in the snow. When I am not teaching, I can be found somewhere in nature with my husband and three daughters. I love to camp, hike and practice mindfulness, and I take a yoga class on occasion. BA in Psychology from Elon University in NC MS in Special Ed. from University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI
Mrs. Isabela Machado - Preschool Teacher
For me, becoming a teacher was a natural process. While growing up, I had wonderful teachers who inspired me with their love and creativity and made school so pleasurable. Since 2009, I have been teaching children in preschool and Kindergarten, always fostering individual motivation towards learning and exploring. I also have an international background, having taught children in Brazil, Germany, and Colombia. In my spare time, I enjoy singing, playing the piano, and running.

Mrs. Erika Barnowsky - Preschool Teacher
In 2008, while I was living in Boston, I found my calling when I was offered a position in a preschool classroom. I have been working in three- to five-year old classrooms ever since. In 2010, my husband and I moved home to Michigan to be near family. After working at Premier Academy and Oakland Christian School, in 2013, I found my wonderful way to Eagle Creek. One of the great things about teaching preschool is that I get to join the adventure. I love watching the children discover new words, figure out how math works, and try new science experiments. It's even fun to watch them master the computer mouse. Developing relationships with families is important to me. I believe that educating a young child is a team effort, and I am eager to join you in that. Please stop by and say hello! BS in Education from Central Michigan University
Mrs. Lisa Leighty - Preschool Teacher
I knew as a teenager that my calling in life was to be a teacher of young children, and I am grateful that I have been able to fulfill my dream. For thirteen years, I taught preschool at Discovery Montessori in Grand Blanc. Then, for ten years, I was a teacher and program director at Creative Learning Academy in Flint. Finally, in 2016, I came to Eagle Creek. I think of learning as an adventure, full of opportunities to discover the world. One of my favorite things is to plan new challenges and help the children investigate, practice and master them. My hope is that each child will develop a true desire to learn as much as he can. Loving school is so important! In my spare time, my husband and I enjoy biking, watching our three children play sports, and having family movie nights.

Mrs. Christine Graber Preschool Teacher
I have had a love for teaching since I was in elementary school, when I would take home the leftover worksheets and use them to play school with my friends. I always imagined myself teaching fourth or fifth grade, until I was placed in a Kindergarten classroom for student teaching. I loved it, and I have been working with young children ever since. I began my career as a Kindergarten teacher with Utica Community Schools. After working there for seven years, I decided to stay home with my three daughters. Once my girls were older, I worked at St. Paul's Preschool in Rochester, where I taught three- and four-year-old children for six years and served as the Director for four years. I am looking forward to continuing my passion with your preschooler at Eagle Creek! BA in Elementary Education from Michigan State University MA in Elementary Education from Saginaw Valley State University
Mrs. Mandy Geyer - Preschool Teacher
Because I was a child who struggled in school, I have always wanted to create a fun and safe place for children to learn and grow. I began my journey in education in 2007 working at a childcare. After that, I became a first and second grade teacher. Later, I was blessed with the opportunity to help open the preschool at ASU Preparatory STEM Academy in Arizona, where I worked for eight years. During my years there, I learned how important it is to prepare lessons that meet each child at a personal level. I look forward to learning all about your child. Let's make each year the best year ever!
Mrs. Christine Kulp - STEM Teacher
My first exposure to STEM was when I was working my way through college, and I got a job with the U.S. Air Force in the computer room. After graduating and moving to Michigan, I got married, raised my children and worked as a childcare director. During that time, I took a graduate course in technology, since it was clear multi-media was becoming important. I then taught K to 8 in a variety of public and private schools for sixteen years before becoming the principal of a Montessori school. One of my projects at that school was initiating and teaching a new tech program. Shortly after that, I built my own computer and dove into my husband's computer repair business. As time went on, I became the curriculum director and then the regional manager for a group of five Montessori schools. In 2011, I joined Eagle Creek Academy as the Director of Student Services, and in 2012, became the assistant principal. Currently, I retain the role of assistant principal, and I run Eagle Creek's STEM Lab. I enjoy continuously updating our STEM curriculum, investigating new equipment and programs, and being back in the classroom. Please stop by to visit our lovely new lab and hear about our recent activities. BA in Education from Keene State College at University of NH Montessori Certification from American Montessori Society
Señora Natalia Murasky - Spanish Teacher
Prior to joining the Eagle Creek faculty in 2012, I volunteered at local schools as well as the Detroit Zoo. I found it enjoyable to work with children one-on-one and in small groups, so I returned to Oakland University to get an MA in Teaching. In my Spanish classroom, I create a safe environment where students are motivated to participate even when they are not sure if they are correct. My goal is to make learning Spanish fun and hands-on, so I use a lot of games and physical activities. Another goal is to take my students beyond an appreciation for foreign languages and help them actually understand and speak the language. I am a native Spanish-speaker, having been born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am always excited to see both familiar and new faces at Eagle Creek, and I look forward to speaking Spanish with you! BA in Spanish from Oakland University BS in Marketing from Oakland University MA in Teaching from Oakland University
Señora Lucy Balza - Spanish Teacher
I am from Venezuela, and I have been living in the United States since 2003. Before joining Eagle Creek Academy in 2017, I worked at International Academy East for three years teaching and tutoring Spanish. I really enjoy teaching little kids. They learn extremely fast, and their smiles fill me every day with joy. I love what I do! I am also a synchronized swimming coach for Troy Synchro Sharkettes. I love swimming, running and spending time with my husband and twin daughters. Please stop by and say, "Hola!"
Mr. Ryan Dawley - Music Teacher
After teaching music for four years in Walled Lake and two years in PawPaw, I was excited to come to Eagle Creek. In addition to being a choir director, I have performed with choirs and theater companies across the United States, including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Maine, and New York. I have also directed, choreographed, produced, and acted professionally in fifty productions and been in several commercials and movies. In 2017, I was selected from thousands of nominations as a quarter-finalist for the 2017 Grammy Music Educator Award. Lately, I've been working on my master's degree in Music Education at Oakland University. I also love to travel, especially to New York City. Teaching music is unique, because music all around you, all the time; it is on the radio, television, internet, and at home. This makes it easy to relate what we are doing in the classroom to real life experiences, which helps the children gain a deeper understanding of the world and the material. One of my goals is to excite my students. I especially want those children who don't realize they have a passion for music to find it within themselves. I also enjoy presenting music that is challenging, fun, and diverse. It's important to me that the children feel successful and proud of themselves when they perform.

Mr. Joel Malkasian - Physical Education Teacher
I began my teaching career in 2009, teaching Physical Education in Brandon. While there, I taught all grade levels from Kindergarten through 12th grade and coached baseball and football. In 2017, I joined Lake Orion school district to become a middle school Physical Education teacher. I also coach 7th grade basketball and JV football in Lake Orion. I am happy to now be at Eagle Creek teaching gym as well. One of my goals is to teach children about how to stay healthy and fit. My wife and I have two young boys, Calvin and Landon. I also own a small business, Oxford Deck, that keeps me busy from spring to fall. Bachelor's degree in Physical and Health Education from SCSU Master's degree in Teaching from Marygrove College
Mrs. Laura Wass - Art Teacher
As a working artist with a deep love of learning, becoming an art teacher was a natural choice for me. Before joining Eagle Creek, I taught at Hamtramck Schools and Roseville Schools. I also teach art at a Montessori school and at Painting with a Twist. I believe studying art teaches children risk-taking, openness, exploration and the joy of discover. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, playing the ukulele and traveling. I look forward to each new school year and the chance to explore the world in new ways with your children. BS in Art Education from Wayne State University MA in Art Education from Wayne State University
Mrs. Kelsey Lawton - Math Teacher
When I was in sixth grade, I remember thinking, "I want to do for kids someday what my favorite teachers did for me." Not only did those teachers help me learn, but they made me feel respected and encouraged. In college, I earned a degree in social work, and since then, I have used my skills in children's ministry and foster care. These fields are wonderful for learning how best to protect and reach children of all walks of life. I'm excited to be at Eagle Creek where I can grow and help children grow. Bachelor of Social Work from Spring Arbor University

Eagle Creek Academy's Administrative Team

Cathy Hammond - Principal
I have been teaching since I was six years old when I sat in the back seat on the way up north and drilled my little sister with spelling words. When I was an undergrad at Northwestern University in Chicago, I taught GED classes. Later, when I was a graduate student at Wayne State, I taught computer classes. Eventually, I found my way to the public schools in Bloomfield Hills and Rochester, where I taught French, English and English as a Second Language. In 1995, I founded Alpine Academy, a preschool in Oakland Township. In 2005, I founded Eagle Creek. I have loved every minute since the beginning. I believe teaching and learning are the most important jobs in the world. BA in English & French from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL; MA in Education from Wayne State University, Detroit
Mrs. Kim Kasal - Assistant Principal
Before finding my home at Eagle Creek, where I taught fourth, fifth and sixth grades for six years, I taught elementary and middle school in the Chicago and Indianapolis areas for nineteen years. Throughout my teaching career, I have held leadership roles in motivating children, mentoring teachers, developing curriculum, implementing safety policies, and fulfilling school improvement plans. When the opportunity came, over the summer of 2019, to transition to administration at Eagle Creek, I saw it as a chance to get to know more children and their families, and to foster more great relationships. One of my personal goals is not only to provide relevant and rigorous academics, but to be sure we meet the needs of each child and family. In my spare time, I enjoy motorcycling, playing golf, and traveling around the United States. I look forward to partnering with you to ensure your child's success. BA in Education from Governors State University MA in Teaching & Leadership from Saint Xavier University
Mrs. Christine Kulp - Assistant Principal
I graduated with my elementary teaching degree in New Hampshire. After moving to Michigan, I worked as the director of a child care center for four years, and then as a substitute teacher for Romeo and Lapeer schools while I was raising my son and daughter. When I returned to work full-time, I taught K to 8 in a variety of public and private schools for sixteen years before being promoted to principal at Brookfield Academy in Troy. I then added the extra responsibility of Curriculum Director for all five Brookfield schools and later became the Regional Manager, which was more on the business side. I joined Eagle Creek Academy as the Director of Student Services in 2011 and was promoted to Assistant Principal in 2012. This was a great move for me, as I was thrilled to get back to my passion: supporting teachers, families and students in a school with a strong mission and a 21st-century curriculum. Now, in addition to being Assistant Principal, I am teaching the STEM classes for all the age levels, and I am loving it. It's fun and challenging to be back in the classroom. BA in Education from Keen State College at University of NH Montessori Certification from American Montessori Society
Mrs. Melissa Brown - Business Manager
Before coming to Eagle Creek in 2016, I spent seventeen years working for and managing small businesses. I started out developing a small custom printing business while I was in college. After graduation, I ventured to Chicago to work in merchandising and project management. A few years later, I moved back to Michigan to be closer to my family and happened to meet the love of my life, Scott, whom I married at our favorite spot up north. At Eagle Creek, my focus is on accounting and business management. I truly believe that when you continue to learn and push yourself, endless opportunities will present themselves. BS in Retail from Michigan State University
Mrs. Julia Casadei - Secretary
I have been in management for twenty years. One highlight was when I worked at Oakland Hills Country Club and prepared for the 2004 Ryder Cup. It was an exciting event that went well, except that the USA lost. In 2010, I helped open TreMonte Ristorante in Troy, working on menu selection, computer systems and hiring staff. I was really excited when we won Hour Detroit Magazine's restaurant of the year in 2012. I have also held positions as catering manager and general manager in various hotels. I have always lived and worked in this area, growing up in Birmingham and now living in Oakland Township. My husband is Enzo, and we have a son named Jeffrey. We also have two dogs named George and Ralph. My favorite hobby is hiking, and I go on at least one big hiking trip each year. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Since then, I have taught preschool through elementary school for many years.

My name is JT. I am eight years old. I am in second grade. I think that second grade is an excellent class. Mrs. Passon is very nice. Sometimes we can choose what topics we want to learn about. Most of our work is challenging, but I like it. Everyone treats each other with respect. My class is the best place to learn. I don't have a favorite thing about Eagle Creek, because I like everything about the school. I like art, library and gym. I like art because our assignments are fun. I like gym because I like playing Mission Impossible. I like the library because it has excellent books on the military. I like going here because I have great experiences!

Niklaus's Testimonial
Hi! My name is Nicklaus. I am in first grade. My classroom is fun because it has lots of games. I like the books, too. I like Eagle Creek because you do not work on ten things at a time. That is really confusing. You work on one thing and then you go on to the next thing
Danielle's Testimonial
Hi. My name is Dani. I am a middle school student at Eagle Creek. We have computers and bean bag chairs in our classrooms. It is like a second home. We are doing research right now about biomes. We are creating a brochure and sending it to a congressman, so the government will work harder to protect rainforests and oceans, and so the animals there will not become extinct. My top favorite thing about Eagle Creek is the people. I have been here six years and made my best friends. I cannot pick a favorite teacher because they have all been amazing
Lucy's Testimonial
Hallo! My name is Lucy Bonkat, and I was born in Germany. In Mrs. Kasal's fourth grade class we like to challenge ourselves to go above and beyond each day. Believe it or not, we sit on stability balls! Sitting on a stability ball helps our brains stay alert, improves our posture, and even makes our muscles stronger. Fourth grade is all about building our metacognition skills. We actually think about our thinking! Mrs. Kasal helps us set goals for ourselves so we can be successful in our lives. Eagle Creek Academy is like a second home to me. We all help each other learn and grow!
Paytton's Testimonial

My favorite thing about Eagle Creek is that my mom works here too!

Eagle Creek Academy's Parents

Mr. and Mrs. Dharte's Testimonial
While we predominantly chose Eagle Creek Academy for its small classes and individualized learning plans, we quickly realized that their philosophy toward customized experiential opportunities extended well beyond their academic program. Mrs. Kulp is second to none in her responsiveness to parent and student feedback. In the past two years, we have suggested and Mrs. Kulp has implemented a drama club, tee ball clinic and violin instruction. This has allowed our daughter to explore her interests and pursue her passions through extra-curricular activities at school; an environment which we as parents know is safe, supportive and exceptionally convenient! Simply stated, ECA solicits and is accepting of feedback. Teachers and administrators are attuned to students' capabilities and interests, and, whether inside or out of the classroom, grow the whole child!
Mrs. Carter's Testimonial
As a parent of two boys attending Eagle Creek Academy, we are very happy with what the school has to offer. We appreciate the small class sizes, and we are 100% satisfied with the high quality curriculum, with the teachers' helpfulness and positive, one-on-one individualized learning, and the variety of learning activities available throughout the school to each and every individual student. The Kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Pinson and Mrs. Widgren, are amazing teachers. They are attentive, positive, energetic, friendly, and appreciate each individual student's abilities and style of learning. They tailor each child's learning path, and give individualized attention to each child. It is with this type of individualized teaching that my children are successful in class and are learning so much. I would recommend Eagle Creek Academy to every family and parent out there. It is the best of the best!
Mrs. Piesko's Testimonial
I just wanted to thank you for letting me know that Mary Walters, our music teacher, offers private violin lessons. She is now my daughter's violin teacher. The time and scheduling have worked out beautifully. The best part is that my daughter really responded well to Mary and is very excited about the whole prospect of learning to play the violin
Mr. Stevanovich's Testimonial
When my daughter graduates from ECA this summer, she will have spent 6.5 important years of her life there. Commitment of driving a child 30 miles to school is not easy, though what ECA has provided for my daughter is priceless. My daughter is not just an exceptional student, she has become an exceptional person. ECA's culture & environment is a perfect setting to grow great kids and great academics
Mrs. Blake's Testimonial
I love the low teacher-to-student ratio because it allows for individualized instruction. My children can be appropriately challenged and supported when and where the need arises. All three of my children's teachers are wonderful; they always keep me informed on how my children are doing, and I truly feel that they genuinely care about them and their growth and education. We love Eagle Creek!
Mr. Mercure's Testimonial
Eagle Creek has impressed me over the last year. My daughter is in Junior Kindergarten and has excelled beyond all my expectations. Mrs. Vecore has done an amazing job with working with her at her level and helping her to achieve things that I would not have thought a 3 year old could achieve. Great school and a great staff
Mrs. Kersuzan's Testimonial
As a parent, you want a teacher that takes in your child, and through daily interaction, can evaluate if your child is gifted,above/at/below average or struggling. Once they understand where your child is, then they find ways maximize the child's learning. The Kindergarten teachers have done exactly that - they figured out where my daughter is regarding her learning and they tweak their teaching to give her the extra challenges she needs. This is priceless. For parents who want a school that goes beyond the one-fits-all learning, consider Eagle Creek Academy. It can make a difference in how your child learns to love learning
Mrs. Howlett's Testimonial
Eagle Creek Academy has helped my child develop a sense of self-confidence through continually adjusting and challenging my son in his reading levels and groups. Since class size is small, teachers can quickly make those adjustments without waiting till the end of the quarter or semester
