Alaina Baas – First Grade
Email: abaas@hchr.org
Bio: I graduated from Covenant Christian in 2020. Throughout my years in high school, I felt called to go into teaching. I pursued a teaching degree at Cornerstone University, and I graduated in 2024 with a major in Elementary Education and minors in Reading and Language Arts. In the spring of 2024, I accepted my first teaching position at Heritage. Heritage is a new school for me! I am excited to grow in my relationships with staff members, families, and my students! Some hobbies I enjoy outside of school are exercising, arranging flowers, baking, and reading a good book! I am so thankful the Lord has called me into the honorable position of being a Christian School Teacher.
If you are ever in the elementary hall area, please stop in to say hi!

Classes Taught: First, Third, Fourth, Kindergarten, Special Education, Resource
Bio: I have been blessed to be part of Heritage Christian School since the doors were first opened in 1985. After receiving my B.A. from Hope College with a degree in education and a major in Learning Disabilities, I taught two years in third and fourth grades at Heritage. During the years I was raising our children, I taught kindergarten part time. Following kindergarten, I was Director of the Discovery Center for ten years where I was involved in special education, resource room and response to intervention screenings. Presently I am back in the general education classroom, teaching first grade.
My husband, Mike, and I have six children, three sons, a son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and 1 grandchild. We are charter members of Trinity Protestant Reformed Church. I enjoy traveling, crafts and reading in my spare time.
