CCA announces new principals, coach and coaching changes
The Clinton Courier
Clinton Christian Academy (CCA) will welcome some new staff members for the 2024-25 school year.
Katie Allen will join Clinton Christian Academy this fall as elementary principal.
Katie Allen will be joining CCA as elementary principal. Tyanne McCoy has been named upper school principal and director of admissions, and Mary Bobo Fisher will join the staff as head girls’ soccer coach.
Allen grew up in Oxford and is an Oxford High School graduate. She pursued her passion for teaching by attending Northeast Community College on a music scholarship and later transferred to Ole Miss, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in secondary English education. She then furthered her studies in the education master’s program at William Carey, specializing in emotional and mental disorders in children and teens.
“Becoming a teacher has always been a calling for me, and I believe it is where I am meant to be,” said Allen. “Throughout my years in education, I have recognized the importance of meeting both the emotional and educational needs of students. Outside of school, I cherish my role as a mother to my five children: Grace, 17, Robbie, 15, Charlie, 14, Abby, 11, and Amelia, 10.”
“I am honored to be given the opportunity to inspire students as they grow in their faith and love for learning here at CCA,” continued Allen. “My prayer and deepest heart’s desire is to empower students to achieve their highest academic potential, show appreciation for dedicated teachers and staff, and guide students in deepening their relationship with the Lord.”
Tyanne McCoy has been named Clinton Christian Academy’s upper school principal and director of admissions beginning this fall.
McCoy, who has worked in education for over ten years, received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Mississippi College and her Master’s in Education with an emphasis in English from
Delta State University. Her husband, Bill, manages the Matthews, Cutrer, and Lindsey office in Clinton. They have been married for twenty-two years and have two children, Sam and Sarah. McCoy actively works with the youth at Morrison Heights Baptist Church, where she and her family are members.
“I am excited to see how God will use me as I join the CCA family,” said McCoy. “I look forward to working with students to help them find God’s will for their lives.”
Mary Bobo Fisher will be the head girls’ soccer coach at Clinton Christian Academy.
Bobo is a Clinton native who graduated from Clinton High School in 2003. She continued her education at Mississippi College, where she received her Bachelor of Science in nursing. She is a part time nurse and full-time mom of three.
Bobo says she is passionate about the game of soccer and played both at Clinton High School and Mississippi College. She comes from a soccer family, including her brother, Thomas Bobo, who coached the Lady Arrows for many years. She says she “is looking forward to coaching Clinton Christian Academy’s First Lady Warriors soccer team and adding to Clinton’s rich soccer tradition!”
In addition to the new hires, two CCA coaches have gained new titles. Coach David Parker will be CCA’s athletic director and head football coach, and Coach Jason Miles will add elementary athletic director and head girls volleyball coach to his titles.
