Meet the Teacher:
Hi! My name is Mrs. Julia Skaggs and I am so excited and very honored that God chose me to be your child’s K-4 teacher! It’s going to be a fun year full of lots of learning and new adventures. I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us. I want to know all about you, but first I am going to tell you a few things about me.
I was born and raised right here in Huntington! As a young six year old, I accepted Christ during a chapel service at the Christian school I attended. I am proud to be the daughter of Darrell Baker and Sue Skaggs (my mom married my father-in-law…chew on that for a minute!) I am also blessed to be the step-daughter of Norma Baker.
I am the youngest of five children, but only by 3 minutes! I have three older brothers: Darrell, Tom, and Jeff Baker. Tom’s children attended Grace, and now his oldest, Candice, teaches high school English here. Tom and Jeff both have grandchildren attending Grace Christian School. I also have a twin sister, Shirley, who had her daughter here as well before they moved to Atlanta, GA. I am called “Ju-Ju” by my many nieces and nephews. I love them all!
I am married to my handsome prince, John Skaggs. John was in the second graduating class of Grace Christian School. We have 3 of the sweetest children: Jessica, Jenny, and Jacob. Jessica graduated from Grace in 2010. We are proud to say she is the first, second generation graduate of Grace. Jessica graduated from BJU and is now a stylist at Suntime. Jenny is also a graduate of Grace Christian. She is attending Virginia Baptist University majoring in education. Jacob is in the 11th grade and loves sports and food! We also have 2 dogs: Bandit and Sadie. My children and dogs keep me on my toes, but I love it!
When I was in 9th grade (many moons ago!), my twin sister and I attended Grace. In 1999, I returned as a member of the staff where it has been a joy and a blessing to serve our school families.
As you can see, Grace Christian has played and continues to play a big role in my life. I couldn’t be happier to have you join me here! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher and to be a part of the AWESOME things we have lined up for K-4!
