Board Members

Becky Duffield
Board Chair
My name is Becky Duffield and I have been married to Rich since 2003. We are deeply committed to our local church fellowship called Simple Church. We have a 6th grader and 4th grader at Lakeside. Lakeside has been our choice for educating our children since 2015 and we appreciate the family environment and dedication to a Christian worldview perspective. I am honored to be able to serve the school in various ways, including being a board member since November 2020. I am on staff with Athletes in Action and have a passion to share Jesus with athletes, coaches, and support staff at Morehead State University and to empower them to have a ministry of their own.
