Rose started on staff as a teacher at Centennial Baptist School. She has faithfully taught her students with love and grace. Her prayer was always to lead them to have a heart for God. With her leadership skills and a love for Centennial and it's mission and purpose, it was only fitting for her to lead the Early Childhood Department!
