I love Ben Lippen because you can feel the love of Jesus from every person you meet. I felt it when I was a parent here for the last four years, and now I feel it even more as part of the faculty. Everyone has a heart of service and genuinely wants to teach the heart of the students. Christi Williams | Fourth Grade Teacher
