Jennifer Rae serves as Principal of Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. She counts it a great honor to lead a Christ-centered community where students are encouraged to grow toward their full potential for God’s glory.
Since stepping into this role, Jennifer carries forward the rich legacy of ALCS, which has grown from 30 students at its founding in 1978 to now serving over 400 students from 3K through 12th grade. She is passionate about partnering with families, fostering spiritual formation, and equipping the next generation to live out their faith with courage and grace.
Jennifer’s leadership has been marked by resilience and a deep reliance on God especially through the tragic school shooting of December 2024. She believes “Challenger Strong” is more than a motto—it is a testimony to God’s sustaining strength and the unity He has built within the ALCS family and the community as a whole.
The Summit was more than empty words – it made clear that a solution-driven approach is the only way to fight hate. That’s why the working group activities, which are results driven are going to be critical in defeating violent extremism. The Summit brought together the best minds in government, private sector, academia, and civil society. Being surrounded by these experts sparked new ideas – some of which I’ve already implemented or have written about.
