Miss Michelle Holcomb teaches fourth grade at Geneva. She has previously taught kindergarten and first grades here. 

Miss Holcomb’s own childhood education began on a fourth-generation family farm in northern Douglas County where she and her sisters were homeschooled. She graduated from Umpqua Community College and Oregon State University, and later attended Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming, a life-changing experience.  

She has worked with children in community activities involving agriculture, music, and historical drama, and served young and old alike in overseas mission work and through many church ministries. Other enjoyable activities of hers include worshipping through music, writing, hiking and distance running, studying the Bible, and homemaking. She is active in Sutherlin Family Church and Elkton Bible Baptist Church. Some favorite Scriptures are Job 23:10-12, Psalm 18 and 27, and Romans 8.  She especially loves the hymns “How Great Thou Art,” “Abide With Me,” and “It is Well With My Soul.”

Teaching at Geneva has given Miss Holcomb immense joy in watching her students grow in their love of learning about creation, and ultimately, their love for their Creator. She is passionate about discipling young ones to not only grow in their own faith and to see everything in their world through the Lord’s eyes, but also to see themselves as “kingdom builders” for His purposes, living lives that cause lost souls to thirst more for Him and which cultivate greater worship within the Body of believers.
