Associate of Science- Collin County Community College

Bachelor of Science (BS) with a major in Nursing- Texas Woman’s University

Personal:

I’ve always loved science ever since I was young. I was fascinated with God’s creation and how everything worked, but it took me a while to find the calling that God would put on my heart. I was homeschooled my whole life, from Pre-K to senior year of high school. I even took classes from THEO my 4 years of high school (Class of 2014).  Shortly after graduating, God lead me down the path to nursing. I started off at Collin County Community College and is where I took anatomy and physiology. I fell in love with that class and all the different systems in the human body. I knew for sure, in that class, that nursing was what I was meant to do. Now, I’ve been a Neonatal ICU nurse for over 6 years and have loved the time I’ve spent there. As young mom, who hopes to homeschool my own children one day, I’m very excited to start my teaching journey at THEO. I look forward to showing students how incredibly, and beautifully, God made the human body. I’m so excited for students to experience some of the hands-on learning that made me fall in love with this class!

My name is Craig Callon, and I have been an educator for a total of twelve years at the high school and college level. I have a Bachelor’s & Master’s degree in history from Sam Houston State University, and a Master’s in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. My teaching subjects have included U.S. History, World & Church History, Systematic Theology, Biblical Books, and various Biblical topics for local churches. My full time job is as a financial planner, for which I hold a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation.

My passion is to help students better understand Scripture and the Christian faith. The Bible richly rewards diligent study, and I hope to equip students to do their own Bible studies and to deepen their walk with Christ. I grew up Baptist and am now a part of the Anglican tradition at Christ Church in Plano. My wife Cheryl homeschools our daughter Vera Dei, who also attends THEO.
