At Eunice Christian our vision is “To Educate for lifelong success and enrich with Christian purpose!” Our daily bible classes and weekly morning chapels will give our students the Biblical foundation our students need to navigate an ever changing world. Our students will experience daily worship, prayer, and devotions first thing in the morning and will be incorporated throughout our curriculum. We believe by setting this type of Christian environment we provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere where they can explore and understand their identity in Christ.
Our Staff
Here at ECA we understand the great power that educators have over our children. That is why our teachers have a degree and/or are certified along with years of experience in the classroom. We are passionate about providing the best education possible while instilling Biblical practices. We are dedicated to raise an army of world changers who are encouraged, equipped, and empowered to do the extraordinary. As leaders we are not only dedicated to help our students grow but we are also dedicated to making sure we are growing and pouring into our students from a full cup!

It is overwhelming to see what began as a God-sized vision transform to a simple burden to a life giving reality. I am thankful for New Hope Church, the teachers, and staff that took a step of faith and believed in the vision. My Husband, Chris, and I have been pastors of New Hope 6 years and I absolutely love this community. My heart is to see the Church become a beacon of Hope to Eunice and the Acadiana Area. I believe it’s our responsibility as parents and followers of Jesus to make sure our children not only have academic success and growth, but also truly know God and learn the one thing that will sustain them throughout their lives- how to seek Him. It is our mission at Eunice Christian Academy to do just that: to Educate for lifelong success and enrich with Christian purpose! Our prayer is to provide the very best education possible with a commitment to encouraging, equipping, and empowering the next generation of young leaders to have more impact on the world than it has on them!

Katie SavoyOffice Manager
I am from the Eunice/Basile area. I am married to Brandon Savoy of Eunice and we have four children, three girls and one boy. I have been a member of New Hope for the past two and a half years and love growing and meeting new people. I was the administrative assistant for a property preservation company for five years where I was responsible for coordinating daily operations. It was my job to support multiple "in field" crews, data management, invoicing, and creating employee/subcontractor manuals and reports to include proper, accurate, and updated financial, personnel, and logistical data.
I enjoy crafting with my little girl, traveling, hiking, and spending time with my family. I believe in greeting everyone with a smile because one smile can transform an entire room. I look forward to meeting you and your family at the front door! |

Katie RichardTeacher
I am so excited to begin this new journey at ECA! I have been an educator for 10 years, teaching Kindergarten and Pre-K. My heart is in the classroom, singing and dancing, and making learning fun for my babies! In my teaching career, I have been honored to be named a “highly effective” teacher in St. Landry Parish and recognized as one of the top Pre-K programs in the state of Louisiana. I have a passion for serving and showing Jesus’ love to those in our community, and my “Belly Buddies” mission aims to do just that, by providing food to students in need. I have been married to my husband Brad for 8 years and we have a 4-year-old miracle baby named Reid Thomas. I am so thankful for this opportunity, and can’t wait to see what God has in store for the ECA Eagles!

Wendy NugentTeacher
I can't wait for everyone to join us on this incredible journey at ECA. I have been an educator for 9 years, teaching Pre-K. My classroom was a “reverse mainstream” classroom, so I was able to teach children with special needs, which is something I love very much. I love starting the day singing and dancing with my little ones. Our classroom was recognized as one of the top Pre-K programs in the state of Louisiana. I have been married 17 years, to my husband Steven, and we have four kids that are my world! Bella is 16, Kamden 13, Theodore 10, and Lincoln 6. I know God will have some incredible things in store for all of us on this incredible journey!

Jennifer FontenotTeacher
I am so excited for the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing here at ECA and New Hope. I have been a part of this incredible church for 5 years. This is my first year teaching at ECA, but my 9th year as an educator. I taught at Glendale Elementary for 8 years, teaching 2nd grade all subjects, and 3rd grade Science and Social Studies. My favorite thing about teaching is getting to know each of my students’ personalities, and seeing their growth throughout the year.
I have four children, three boys and one girl. Besides teaching I enjoy reading, playing games, and spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting school year. |

Erica DavilleTeacher
I am honored to begin this journey as the 2nd grade teacher at Eunice Christian Academy. I am a graduate of Mcneese State University. My husband and I have been proud members of New Hope Church for the past three years. My favorite days are spent staying home with my husband and children and doing all things outdoors! I love to inspire students not only academically but also personally, especially in their walk with Jesus. It is rewarding to see their faces when the light bulb goes off and they understand a new objective, but even more heartwarming when I see their walk with Jesus become stronger.
I am passionate about helping all of my students achieve success academically. I am especially passionate about helping struggling students who think and learn differently by creating a relationship-driven learning environment in the classroom. I like to use creativity to think outside of the box and I am willing to use many different techniques to help each child learn. I look forward to the academic and spiritual growth of every child on campus and all the joy that their smiling faces bring. |
