Our People
R. Lance Harris
Headmaster
R. Lance Harris hails from Blytheville, Arkansas. Beginning in 1988, Mr. Harris served for 12 years as the Director of Choral Activities at Rivercrest High School in Wilson, Arkansas. Mr. Harris and his wife, Patty, decided to homeschool their children classically. In 2002 he helped found a classical Christian school in Osceola, Arkansas. In 2003, the Lord moved the Harrises to Louisville, Kentucky where Mr. Harris took over duties as Headmaster and teacher at Covenant Classical Academy. Mr. and Mrs. Harris returned to NW Arkansas in 2021, moving to Siloam Springs to be close to grandchildren.

He and Patty attend St. Gabriel’s Anglican Church in Springdale. They live in Vaughn and are excited to help Wisdom & Truth Classical Academy implement a thoroughly Christian and beautiful education for Christian children in NW Arkansas.
Patty Harris
Faculty
Patty Harris was born in New Orleans, Louisiana but moved to Salem, Arkansas during her elementary years. She has served in various roles over her 20+ years in classical education; first as a homeschooling mom. Mrs. Harris taught for 18 years at Covenant Classical Academy in Louisville, Kentucky, mostly in Kindergarten and 2nd-4th grades. Prior to CCA she and Mr. Harris founded a classical, Christian school in Osceola, Arkansas before God moved them to Louisville. She attended John Brown University, studying music.
Her greatest delight is seeing the eyes of understanding awaken in her students as she points them to the love of Christ and helps nurture their faith.
When not teaching, Mrs. Harris loves to cook in order to delight the hearts (and stomachs) of friends and family. She has also been involved in community theater in productions of “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Les Miserables,” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
She and her husband, Lance, have 5 children. They are also awaiting the birth of their 9th grandchild.
Molly Jimenez

Molly Jimenez was born in Dallas, Texas and raised in Bentonville, Arkansas. After graduating from the University of Arkansas with a BA in English Literature in 2016, Molly traveled to Birmingham, England, U.K. to work with a campus ministry at the University of Birmingham. Shortly after, Molly made the trek to Boston, Massachusetts to work with a mission organization partnering with local youth groups to serve in the Greater Boston Community. While there, Molly met her husband, Sam, and planted permanent roots in Boston, where she went on to work in various Human Resources positions while obtaining her MS in Human Resource Management from Southern New Hampshire University. Molly and Sam decided to make Bentonville, Arkansas their home in 2021.
Molly is immensely honored to teach students at WTCA. Her hope is that in every subject and touchpoint, students will encounter the wonderful and magnificent glory of God.
