Deborah Mackall and her husband have homeschooled 7 children. The youngest just turned 18 and graduates home school high school May 2026. At the same time Deborah is taking on a well deserved retirement. Homeschooling since 1991, (and you can do the math!) Deborah explored
the varied genres of homeschooling from unschooling to classical, hitting most squarely in the ‘eclectic camp.’ She was part of varied homeschool groups that ran meetings, provided fun events, wrote and edited a print newsletter [so last century!]l organized Fairs [Curriculum, Science, Arts, and History for example], and set up small co-ops, preferring to teach art and history to small groups. In CCA, Deborah especially enjoyed helping high schoolers reach their potential by navigating the transcript and graduation process in an individual way.

Jeanette has been homeschooling her six children for 17 years, teaching them at home from the very beginning. By May 2026, she will have celebrated the graduation of four of her children, with her two youngest currently in middle and high school.
Having served on the Cornerstone Tutorial Board for six years, Jeanette is now part of the CCA leadership team. She has learned the ins and outs of Dual Enrollment through her own kids’ journeys into college. She knows that the high school years can feel overwhelming at first, and she’s always available to help other families navigate the paperwork and the process.
