Jennifer Cave
Teacher
I am a mother of six and I am married to my husband, Whitley Cave. We met in college here in College Station, married and had our first two children. We moved away for work and came back in 2008 to raise our children. Though this is my first year teaching at Covenant Presbyterian Day School we are not new to Covenant; we are Alumni. I fell in love with everything about Covenant Presbyterian Day School when we sent our kids here. During the time they attended I volunteered and helped out when needed. I am thankful that life has allowed me to come full circle and I am able to now teach at Covenant Presbyterian Day School.
