Christa Hoovler, School Counselor
Christa started her career in education as a kindergarten teacher and has worked with students from preschool through college in various teaching roles, both in person and online. School counseling has been her favorite position and she’s happy to bring her experience to Keystone. A graduate of the University of Maryland with a BS in Early Childhood Education and Johns Hopkins University with a MS in School Counseling, Christa is a passionate advocate for students. She encourages her students to develop their academic, emotional, and physical health to their fullest potential.
Away from her computer, Christa lives a semi-crunchy life with her husband along the banks of the Delaware River, where she dreads the winter. Her favorite people are her three grown kids. She loves being outside when it’s warm, and you’ll most likely find her walking in the woods with her dog, playing a round of golf with her hubby or sitting in the stands of a college football game. Christa smells of essential oils and thinks they’re the answer to most problems. She’ll probably even suggest one for you to use, along with large amounts of filtered water and a good probiotic.

Elizabeth Jones, Deputy Head of School, Adult Learning

Angela Stuart, Deputy Head of School, K-12
Angela is a Wilkes University graduate who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. She is history certified in multiple states and maintains each certificate according to state requirements. Her ability to connect with students in a positive and professional manner and ability to go above student expectation is regularly noted by students and parents. Social Studies is her passion, “when you dig deeply into something, you find so much more than appears at the surface – it’s fascinating”. Teaching and learning the details of an item’s past, a political relation, a social interaction or the many governments of the world, are all crucial to daily events. Each plays an integral role in our world today and showing this to our current generation is exhilarating to her. In her free time, Mrs. Stuart enjoys time with her family, exploring historic topics, gardening, fishing, skiing and traveling (especially to historic sites). She was able to recently explore ancient Mayan ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula. In working with Keystone she most appreciates the diversity, dedication and focus of each student. For her, students are the most important part of education!
“Today is the most exciting time in history!” – Mrs. Stuart
