During Mrs. White’s tenure as Principal of Dallas Junior Academy, she has led the turnaround of a once declining, inner-city private school to a thriving, growing Christian environment where enrollment has more than doubled under her leadership. A faculty and staff of highly-talented and award-winning teachers have been recruited.

 Ana Leal-Mochoge - Kindergarten
Mrs. Ana Leal-Mochage was born and raised in the valley of south Texas. As a freshman she entered Southwestern believing that nursing was her future. After a year and a half Ana realized that God's plans were different than hers. It was then that with much prayer she made the decision to switch to elementary education. Ana was able to graduate this May and couldn't have been happier. Working with children has helped her realize that we can learn so much from their innocence and enthusiasm in life. She believes that all children should be respected and loved, no matter their situation or background. Ana’s goal is to be their friend and mentor, and mainly, for them to see Jesus.
In her spare time she likes to read and go shopping. Also, she will be getting married July 19th in Grand Prairie. Her fiancé’s name is Martin Mochoge and currently works at Charlton Methodist Hospital in Dallas as a registered nurse. He was born in Nairobi Kenya.
