Heather Rooks

Heather Rooks has been teaching for over 20 years—usually with a cup of coffee in one hand and the Bible in the other. She earned her bachelor’s degree in English and History from Lindsey Wilson College, a master’s degree in Special Education from Campbellsville University, and a master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of the Cumberlands.

Heather taught in the public school system until she became a mom and felt the Lord calling her to stay home and homeschool her children—a journey she’s been on for the past fifteen years. During that time, she also worked part-time with Pearson, scoring student essays for the SAT and various state assessments.

She is the wife of Mark and mom to Noah, Cade, Mac, Rory, Abby, Jett, Hannah, and Heidi. Heather enjoys traveling, cooking, watching silly YouTube videos with her kids, reading, and collecting old books. Her favorite book is Heidi, and she treasures the quote: “But God has arranged it all so much better than I knew how to: everything has happened just as the other grandmother said it would. Oh, how glad I am that God did not let me have at once all I prayed and wept for!” To her, this quote is a comforting reminder of God’s perfect plan and timing.

Heather is excited to walk alongside parents in nurturing a love of learning in their children—pointing them toward truth, beauty, and the love of Christ in every lesson.
