Liberty Christian hires new superintendent

ANDERSON — Liberty Christian School has named Jeremy Cowin to be the school’s next superintendent. Cowin replaces Shannon Dare, who has accepted a new role as headmaster of Red Lion Christian Academy in Delaware.

Cowin begins his assignment at July 1 and was the keynote speaker during Liberty Christian’s commencement in May.

“We have clearly sensed God’s call of Mr. Cowin to become a part of the Liberty Christian leadership team,” said Sena Landey, president of the board of directors for Liberty Christian School, in a press release. “His love of children and his commitment to Christian education as articulated in our vison and mission are both so very evident."

Cowin formerly was superintendent at Village Christian Academy in Fayetteville, N.C. He previously served as middle school principal of Wake Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C., and taught at Franklinton Elementary School in Franklinton, N.C., and for Bowling Green Elementary School in Bowling Green, Mo.

Cowin is a graduate of Hannibal LaGrange College in Hannibal, Mo., and holds a master’s degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C. He has extensive ministry experience.

Cowin and his wife, Heather, have three daughters.

    Pendleton Heights now has both the old and the new Red Haven Award trophy for its case at school.
    When PH’s Ellie McCardwell won the award in 2010, the long-standing trophy was retired, and because the Arabians had the last winner, the school was able to permanently house that hardware.
    On Tuesday, when the Anderson Noon Exchange Club presented the 2012 winner, it went to Pendleton Heights’ Abbie Haffner. So for the next 12 months, PH will be home to both the new traveling trophy, first presented a year ago to Lapel’s Leigh Steele, and the old one.
