TEACHERS
Jeanette Rogers
Jeanette teaches Fundamentals in Art, and Set and Costume Design at Keystone Academy. She graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and afterwards gained a variety of experiences in pediatric and community health nursing. She and her husband, Bill, chose to homeschool their three children, Michael, Stephanie, and Carrie. She was therefore able to pursue her first career dream of elementary education with her own children.
Jeanette has been drawing since she was a young child and learned from her mother how to sew among other things. She joined the staff at Keystone in 2017 and very much enjoys sharing her life experiences with those children who show an interest and a love for creating.
Haley McAfee
Haley, who earned a B.A. from the University of Central Florida in 2005, loved growing up as a homeschooled student. As someone who thrives on independent learning and meeting challenges, homeschooling was the perfect fit. After graduating from UCF, Haley spent 2005 teaching grades 3-6 with Ceil Humphreys at Humphreys Junior High. She established Keystone Academy the following year, in 2006, and has been enthusiastically teaching for fifteen years. Haley is currently embracing her own homeschool journey with her three sons, Will, Griffin, and Nate.
