About Mrs. Dorcheus

This is my 22nd year of teaching.  I began my career in Long Beach, 
California and moved to Washington two years later.  I have taught for the 
Kelso and Toutle Lake School Districts.  I also taught at Kelso Christian 
academy prior to coming to Three Rivers Christian School.  
During my working years I have spent time working for American Medical 
Response in Longview and San Antonio, Texas.  I have worked in a Pediatric 
emergency room and even a state park.  It is amazing what a teacher can find 
for work in the summers.
I am a graduate of California State University of Long Beach and the 
University of Portland.  I earned my Master's degree in education at the 
University of Portland.
My family includes my husband, Curtis and my children Katie, Erin, and 
Calvin.  My twins are in fourth grade at this school.  Calvin is in
Kindergarten.  We live in Castle Rock and attend Castle Rock 
Christian Church.
I am a volunteer firefighter/ EMT in Toutle and Castle Rock.  At the Toutle 
station, my position as an officer keeps me busy every Tuesday night.  I have
been doing this for nineteen years.

I need to work on this one.

I believe that is important to build the strong foundation of Christian 
beliefs at our school.  The students need to be prepared to face our ever 
changing world with great knowledge of the Bible.  They also need to be 
moving ahead academically.  My goal is to prepare each student academically 
and spiritually for what lies ahead in their lives.
