QSCA Staff and Leadership

At Quartzsite Southern Christian Academy (QSCA), our passionate staff forms the cornerstone of our institution, playing a crucial role in providing outstanding education and care for our students. Our team, comprised of dedicated and experienced educators, is committed to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. Under the leadership of Acting Administrator Shemariah Vosper, who also serves as the 3-12th supervisor, the staff focuses on delivering a top-quality, Christian-centered education tailored to the individual needs of each student.

QSCA was founded as a response to the absence of quality public education in the small town of Quartzsite, Arizona. Recognizing the importance of proper education for the children in our community, our church took the initiative to create a private school, funded by donations and scholarships. The diverse team of staff and monitors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to QSCA, ensuring that our students receive the guidance and support they need at every stage of their academic journey. Together with our dedicated Board of Directors, the QSCA staff strives to provide an enriching educational experience that equips our students for success in their future endeavors.
