🦅 Falcon Friday: Meet Mrs. Vanessa Becskehazy!
Mrs. B first joined the Shining Rock community as a substitute teacher in March 2025 and became a full-time teacher later that year. She loves the close-knit community at SRCA and the way our staff works together toward shared goals.
💙 What She Loves About Shining Rock:
Mrs. B appreciates SRCA’s focus on supporting the whole child and says she’s especially grateful to teach such an amazing group of students.
📚 Favorite Book: The Giver by Lois Lowry. She loves stories that make her think about society and the choices we make. The movie version, though? Mrs. B has some thoughts. 😂 She says they could have done much better!
🇫🇷🐶 Fun Facts: Mrs. B grew up in France—and if you hear students talking about “the teacher with the dog,” you’ve found her!
We’re so glad Mrs. B found her way from substitute teaching to her own classroom at Shining Rock. Thank you for all you do to help our Falcons learn, grow, and feel supported! 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

This is what learning looks like at Shining Rock.
Experiential Learning is a key part of our students' academic foundation.
We believe students learn best when they can think, create, explore, collaborate, and apply what they’re learning.
That’s the Shining Rock experience.
And although the school year has started, it’s not too late to join us.
Limited openings remain in select grade levels and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
