Jr High

Facilitator

Hello, my name is Ruth McDonald. I am grateful to be part of the KCS family as the 7th and 8th grade Jr. High Facilitator. This will be my 12th year working in some form or fashion in Education. I spent 5 years as a teacher’s aide at Monday Primary before transferring to the Transportation Department at Kaufman ISD.  I graduated from Texas A&M University-Commerce with my BAAS in Organizational Leadership in 2019.

My husband Jody and I have been married for 15 years. We have two sons, JD and Cephus. Both are currently attending KCS and love our KCS family. JD and Cephus have both mentioned how much they appreciate the ability to learn about God at school. The way KCS connects spiritual and academic learning allows our boys to grow in their understanding of how God is in every single aspect of their lives.

I believe investing, teaching, and guiding our next generation “in the way they should go” is important and a way to fulfill the great commission. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to work in an environment where I can serve my coworkers, students, parents, and community.
