WCS is pleased to announce the hiring of Allison Speight in the Controller role at WCS. Mr. Brenner says, “We are thrilled to have Allison join the leadership team at WCS. Her expertise and experience in accounting and finance are obvious assets. I am most excited about her love for the mission of WCS. To put it succinctly, her skills AND love for Jesus will have a tremendous impact at WCS for years to come.”
Mrs. Speight is no stranger to WCS. She is a WCS graduate of the class of 1998. She is also a parent at WCS; her sons, Colton and Wyatt, have attended WCS since daycare. She says her experience as a parent at WCS is highlighted by “the community WCS cultivates with everyone – staff, students, parents & churches–and its passion for raising up children to be a contribution & light in a tough world.” Brenner goes on to say, “We’ve had the privilege of partnering with Allison and Derek, as parents, since their boys entered our daycare. I’m grateful the LORD saw fit to bring her onto our leadership team.”
In addition to her commitment to our mission, she comes to us with a wealth of experience. She holds both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in accounting from NC State University and has 18 years of experience as a licensed CPA. She has worked both in the private accounting industry and in a supervisory capacity in the accounting offices for the Wayne County government, most recently serving as the finance director for the County of Wayne for several years.
Mrs. Speight will begin her new role on October 2. She says that she is excited to “spend more time with my husband and boys and to be able to work for the school that meant so much to me growing up and now as a parent of WCS students.”
Fun fact about Mrs. Speight: “I love being a boy mom almost as much as I love being a dog mom to my Boykin Spaniel, Nala Grace!”
The mission of WCS is to partner with parents and churches to teach from and to shape a Biblical worldview so students can impact their world for Christ.
