Ovell’s Christian Academy was the original vision of Shaunda Crumity (affectionately known as Ms. C). She and her daughter, Shayla Talbert established the institution in 2015. The school was named in honor of our beloved grandmother, Ovell, who, despite her limited formal education, was the matriarch of our family and a beacon of hope and love in our community. Her profound impact came through her heartfelt conversations and unwavering compassion, serving countless individuals with her kindness. While her reading and math skills were modest, her ability to connect with and uplift others was extraordinary, introducing many to a relationship with Christ. Her legacy of love and faith continues to inspire our mission and values at Ovell’s Christian Academy.
