In the mid-1990s, laser focused on a change in their family life, David and Sherry Moss uprooted their lives as busy Atlanta attorneys and moved to Signal Mountain.
They helped establish Signal Mountain Christian School with six other couples, two years after their move here.
“We were trying to decide how to educate our children,” Mr. Moss said of the group. “We prayed about it, and we felt called to start a small Christian school.”
Although the couple say they were no more responsible for the school than the other parents, their backgrounds and their fresh knowledge on various models pushed their involvement to the forefront. The K-5 school began in 1998 at Wayside Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Moss, an attorney in a Chattanooga practice with his brother-in-law, remains the school’s president and chairman of the board. Mrs. Moss, an employment relations specialist with Employment Learning Innovations of Atlanta, is the school’s board liaison.
