Meredith Haas

School Secretary

Mrs. Meredith Haas serves as one of Peoples Baptist Academy's secretaries. Having grown up here as the daughter of Pastor and Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Haas has a love for this ministry. She attended Crown College and received a degree in business, as well as in education. In her years at PBA, she has taught high school English and worked in both church and school offices. She and Bro. Haas have three children: Aven,  Juliet, and Cade.  A few of her favorite things would be enjoying coffee from the perfect cup, doing house projects with her husband, and watching Little House on the Prairie with her kids.

Rhonda Culbreth

School Secretary

Mrs. Rhonda Culbreth, another of our school secretaries, has been a great asset to our ministry since she joined our staff four years ago. After retiring from a career at the sheriff's department, we thought she'd fit right in with the school ministry. A long-time member of Peoples Baptist Church, she and her husband Tim have two grown sons, both graduates of PBA. She enjoys spending time with her granddaughter, watching old movies, and going on mini road trips with her husband.

Lesa Myers

Accounts Manager

Mrs. Lesa Myers is in her second year with us here at PBA, and she has been a blessed addition to our staff. She worked for the Clayton County District Attorney's office until she retired a couple years ago. Now she is taking those years of accounting and service and putting that expertise to use here in the business office. Her own children graduated from Peoples Baptist Academy years ago, and now her grandsons attend our kindergarten. We are so glad to have her here with us!

Trish McCoy

High School Supervisor

Our pastor's wife, Mrs. Trish McCoy, serves as the academic adviser and high school supervisor for Peoples Baptist Academy. Education has long been a passion of hers, having taught senior high English for seventeen years before working with the pastor to start the school. With a Master's degree in Christian School Administration, she coordinates the academics, events, field trips, graduation, and much more. Although she serves well in many areas of our ministry, the high school is one of her very favorite places to be. You can find out more about her under Administrative Staff.

Glory Clapp

Junior Sponsor

English, Speech

Mrs. Glory Clapp is a terrific educator and a long-time employee of Peoples Baptist Academy. She and her husband Ron have two children, both graduates of PBA. She teaches senior high English and speech and works as a fine arts coach in speech and drama. She has been a blessed addition to our ministry for the sixteen years she has served with us. Although she is known for her high expectations in the classroom, we have had an unbelievable number of colleges and professors who have contacted PBA to comment on the strength of our English program. Many thanks to Mrs. Clapp and Mrs. Trish McCoy for keeping us sharp. Here are some extra fun facts about her...
