Dana Engstrom
(School Director)Ms. Dana was born and raised in Southern California. In 1999 Dana moved to Arizona to attend ASU and complete her degree in Psychology, Business and Spanish. Dana enjoyed gaining years of experience in executive management at the higher education level. She was able to be a part of growth and expansion at the university level as a member of the original Director Team of the University of Phoenix Online Division.
After staying at home with her many babies who were all born between 2005 and 2008, she was able to return to the field of education at New Covenant. In 2011, her 3 youngest children were in preschool when she was offered the Spanish Teacher position for the New Covenant. During the course of the next 2 years, Ms. Dana truly learned of her love for this little Lutheran school through daily interactions in the classroom and with the loving community.
In August of 2013, she was hired as the new Director of New Covenant Lutheran School. Her twins graduated from New Covenant Kindergarten in 2014. When Dana is not at school, you will see her at one of the many events or games that she attends weekly for her own children who are enrolled at 3 different local schools.
Dana has daily recognition and appreciation for the gift that God has given her to be able to positively impact the lives of so many families within the community. She is blessed by the teaching team that loves every student and family here and prays every day that we are all able to do God’s good work and follow His lead in our every action.
