She has a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies through Amridge University, and will begin her Master’s in Christian Education in the fall. She shares four children with her husband, Danny.

Miss Thompson has been teaching children for 17 years.  She earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Physiology from College of the Ozarks. She is the youngest child of a single parent and at a very young age learned that hard work and a proper education are necessary to achieve any goal.  She believes every child should be allowed a quality education where they are not told what to think but taught how to think. The most important things in her life are faith in Jesus Christ, family, friends, and her students.

Mrs. Stahler graduated from College of the Ozarks with an Early Childhood and Elementary Education degree and will be starting her second year at Legacy! She lives with her husband here in Hollister, and enjoys spending time with family.

Mr. O’Bryan is from St. Louis, MO and he has 20 years of experience teaching in Christian education, as well as 40 years involved in children's ministry. He enjoys coffee every Saturday morning at White River Coffee Co. owned by his brother. He occasionally goes hiking with his wife on the many trails around Branson, enjoys fossil hunting, and is an amateur astronomer.

Mr. Martin is a graduate from College of the Ozarks and has a minor in Classical Education and is currently pursuing his Master degree through the University of Dallas. He is passionate about teaching history and we are eager to see him excel in his role as one of our sixth & seventh grade teachers. 
Mr. Martin shared, “Studying the past offers us a sense of identity and gives us many experiences to draw from. The goal, then, is to form students into critical thinkers; equipping them with knowledge and human experience. I hope that the study of history can give students a better understanding of the world in which they live, and apply that knowledge and experience to become wise individuals.”
