Mrs. Charis Fortenberry
Hello! My name is Charis Fortenberry. I’m excited to begin my journey 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.”
