Mrs. Charis Fortenberry
Hello! My name is Charis Fortenberry. I’m excited to work at Ankeny Christian Academy. I grew up in a Christian home and came to a saving faith by confessing my sins and placing my trust in Jesus when I was a young girl. I attended a Baptist college where I majored in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd and 4th grade and have most recently worked as an associate in the Ankeny public school district. My husband and I, along with our son, moved to Ankeny in 2009. I enjoy reading, watching sports and serving in my church in many capacities. My aim in life is expressed in Psalm 86:10, “Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth, give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.”
