James “Jim” Vaught has over thirty years of experience in the field of education. His breadth of experience includes work
in four types of school systems including, the public education system, a privately owned Christian school, a church sponsored
school, and an independent Christian school. In addition to being a teacher, he has served at the administration level for
over 20 years as an elementary principal, high school principal, and currently as founding headmaster of Providence Christian
Academy, established in the fall of 1991.
In the 15 years as Providence’s headmaster, the school’s enrollment has more than doubled in size and the campus has grown
from six and one-half acres to 24 acres. Despite these accomplishments, however, Mr. Vaught is admired most for his loyalty
to the vision and mission of the school.
“Having worked closely with Mr. Vaught the last several years, I have grown to deeply appreciate his unwavering commitment
to the mission and vision of Providence. He has a passion for the student and the God-given potential each one possesses,
for our teaching faculty and the unique opportunity they possess to have impact in the classroom both academically and spiritually,
and for the parents, as he desires Providence to be an effective partner with them as an extension of their Christian home,“
explained Vance Garrison, chairman of the board of directors.
Mr. Vaught began working in Christian education after teaching in the Dekalb County school system. Vaught says his inspiration
to move into Christian education came from “God’s encouragement to pursue a biblical worldview in which life is not divided
into secular and spiritual.”
Mr. Vaught received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts in Education Administration and Supervision, with certifications
in secondary math and elementary education from Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, TN. He is also currently
enrolled in the Doctor of Education Program for Educational Leadership at Columbia International University.
Having served 24 years in the Army National Guard, he was not only a leader in local natural disaster recoveries, but also
in Saudi Arabia and Iraq as part of six months Federal active duty during Desert Storm. He retired as a Colonial in 2000.
He has been an active member in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) as a District Representative for
Georgia and on the Regional Accreditation Commission.
