Board of Directors
In 2014-2015, two of the original administrators (and several other board administrators) decided that they should move to a Volunteer Board of Directors in order to provide CHA with the means to recruit and train younger moms who could eventually lead the organization. An existing 'advisory board' then became the permanent board of directors and this board continues to develop and grow.
2025-2026 Board of Directors
Bill Jenkins
He has been at CHA since 2009 and this is his 9th year of homeschooling. He currently tutors 9th grade Great Books, 9th Grade Logic II, 12th Grade Leadership, and is the Music Appreciation Department Chair. He has a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University and a Masters of Divinity from Reformed Episcopal seminary, where he is currently a Associate Professor in church history and liturgical music and the choir director. He is also a piano teacher and enjoys baseball, football and basketball.
Stacy Baxter
Stacy has been at CHA since 2014. She has a Business Degree from Shepherd University and is part of the Office Team for CHA along with handling anything technical. She spends her free time traveling with her family, watching her 2 daughters in sports, volunteering and giving back to the community. Stacy loves CHA and the benefit of the hybrid approach.
Rosalie Seeley
Rosalie's family has been homeschooling their eight children since 2006 and attending CHA since 2010. After graduating from Towson University with a BS in Early Childhood Education, she taught 4-year-olds for 5 years. From there, she earned a Master's in Occupational Therapy, and worked for Kennedy Krieger Institute in their Child and Family Support Program as a Pediatric OT, traveling to family homes to provide therapy. She is currently the preschool tutor and department coordinator for the primary grades at CHA. Rosalie and her husband have been involved with the Pre-Cana marriage preparation program at St. John Westminster Catholic Church for 22 years, and also assist with pro-life and homeschool ministries there. Rosalie loves to spend time with her family hiking, gardening, and reading.
Erika Adam
Erika has been homeschooling with Christiana since 2010. Erika was a music major at Towson University, but also minored in French and Spanish, and has completed graduate coursework in Theology. When not homeschooling, she teaches music through Carroll Music Teachers as well as Carroll Community College. She has taught Latin, Spanish, Great Books, Music Theory, Logic, and Senior Thesis at Christiana. She also serves as part of the Office Team, English and Latin, and serves on the CHA Board of Directors. Erika is deeply passionate about tutoring at Christiana, but she finds her greatest joy in seeing the fruits of classical education develop in her five beautiful children.
Sean Bittner
Sean completed his schooling with the assistance of CHA in 2019 after spending 14 years in the program. In 2023, he was awarded his Bachelor of Science in Economics with a minor in Mathematics from Hillsdale College. His favorite pastimes include baseball, music, chess, and reading the classics.
