Rebecca Hunt
Founder & Lower School Principal
My fondest childhood memories include my sister, her friends, and my teacher voice. I knew God had called me to teach my entire life and couldn’t wait to use those gifts upon graduation from college.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a specialization in Early Childhood in 1999 from Baylor University. Immediately following graduation, I began teaching kindergarten for the Mesquite and Rockwall Independent School Districts. In 2006, I completed a Master’s Degree in Education specializing in Reading from Texas A&M-Commerce.
I am married to a wonderful man of God, Zachary, and mom to 5 beautiful children. Our lives consist of travel, game and movie nights, and attending Watermark Church. My hobbies include cooking, reading, and worshipping the Lord in song!
Upon starting a family, my views about education changed and, more importantly, it got me thinking about whom I want speaking into my kids’ lives. Because of my passion for education and youth, I was prompted to explore other options for schooling. After experiencing both traditional schooling and homeschooling, I recognized a need in the Lake Ray Hubbard area for education that encompassed both of these. The University-Model gave me an excitement in knowing that my children can be with me the majority of time and receive a top-notch education with their peers. Thus, Providence Academy was called into existence by God in 2009 with one kindergarten class comprised of five students.
I stand upon God’s Word for direction and wisdom in my life and cling to the following scripture, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.” Jeremiah 29:11-14.
