Meet Our Administrators

Michael Reeder | Principal

I have been fortunate to serve students and families from an array of backgrounds throughout my educational career and now feel privileged to be a member of the community at Beacon Academy Charter School. With a culture committed to the holistic growth of children, students experience a challenging curriculum, develop personal and social responsibility through intentional character education and gain a global perspective through daily Spanish instruction. By supporting culturally relevant practices, fostering staff-student relationships, and understanding how our students’ cultural backgrounds shape who they are, we can make our learners feel they matter as we partner with families to achieve favorable results with their children

Eldred Bach | Dean of Students

My name is Eldred Bach, Jr.  Currently, I am entering my 12th year at Beacon Academy, and my third year as a Dean of Students. 

I have served as a kindergarten teacher, behavior specialist, special education behavior specialist, and school board member.  In my free time, I enjoy going to breweries and parks with my wife and 2-year-old daughter.  I have enjoyed building strong personal relationships with students, staff, and families.  Beacon Academy has been my educational home my entire career, because I do believe in the pillars of Character, Community, and Rigor.  We live those each day at Beacon and hope to develop those traits in our students long after they leave Beacon Academy.

Myla Johnson | Dean of Students

I am “otterly” proud to be part of the amazing Beacon Academy community. I love working with our outstanding students, exceptional staff and incredible families!

I am excited to partner with you to provide our students with a character rich, rigorous, and well rounded education that will prepare them well for success in life. My personal mission is to always lead with the courage to do what’s best for children. You will find that my door is always open, and I am here to support you in any possible way. Please do not hesitate to connect with me to celebrate a success, share a concern, ask a question, give a suggestion or just say hello.

Here’s to a wonderful year, Otters!
