Lori Edgemon
Grammar School Principal
Lori Edgemon is the Grammar School Principal at the Academy. She began her career in education teaching twenty-four 3rd graders at East Limestone. Mrs. Edgemon taught 3rd grade for three years before moving to 2nd grade where she taught 12 years at East Limestone and Creekside Elementary. Mrs. Edgemon was recognized as Creekside Elementary Teacher of the Year and Limestone County Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Edgemon has bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education (Grades P-3) and Elementary Education (Grades 1-6) from Athens State University. She also holds Master’s degrees in Elementary Education (Grades 1-6) and Educational Administration (Grades P-12) from the University of North Alabama. Mrs. Edgemon also holds an Administration certification from the Association of Christian Schools International.
Mrs. Edgemon felt God calling her into Christian Education and a strong nudge to apply for the principal position at a new Christian school that would be opening in her hometown of Athens, AL. Mrs. Edgemon was the first hire at Lindsay Lane Christian Academy. The school opened with 38 students K-6th grade the first year and grew to over 300 students on three campuses TK-12th grade during Mrs. Edgemon’s four years there. Mrs. Edgemon joined the Academy family in 2013 and has seen God do exceedingly more than she can imagine during her time at the Academy. The Academy has grown from 326 students in K-12th grade to almost 900 students. In 10 years, she has been a part of the Academy going from just a few grade levels that met at the church, to modulars, to a new brick building in 2020.
Mrs. Edgemon has been married to Jason Edgemon for 31 years, and they have one son, Grayson. They enjoy spending time at Smith Lake, traveling, hiking, and camping. She has many favorite Bible verses, but truly believes that a Bible study on Esther grabbed her heart and led her to answer God’s call on her life to step into Christian education. She is beyond thankful for that calling and loves coming to the Academy every day!
The Academy is my happy place! I love coming to work every day! We have the best students, staff, and parents! One of my favorite things to do throughout each school day is to peek into the classrooms. I love seeing our passionate teachers teaching their hearts out and seeing our students engaged and having fun while learning. Lori Edgemon, Grammar School Principal
