She has a B.S. in Elementary Education from Valley City State University, a B.S. in Human Development and Family Science, and an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership.

Signe is enthusiastic about the classical model of education because of its emphasis on thinking critically and expressing oneself winsomely. Her prayer for her students is that her students will develop their God-given abilities to their full potential, that they will internalize a Christian worldview, and that they will acquire lifelong tools for learning.

Natalie Roisum graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Biblical Studies from Faith Baptist Bible College. During the 2023-2024 school year, she served as the classroom aide in Capstone's 2nd grade classroom. Natalie also serves as our head volleyball coach.

Natalie is thankful for her own Christian education. She views teaching as a ministry and is hoping to impact children for Christ as a part of the ministry at Capstone.

In her free time, Natalie enjoys spending time with extended family at her grandpa’s farm. She attends and serves on the worship team at Harvest Plains Church in Mapleton.

Roxanne is a lifelong North Dakotan, raised on a farm with her eight siblings. She received an elementary education degree and a kindergarten license from MSUM and has taught for 14 years in the JPII Catholic Schools.

Her desire to join the Capstone community began by learning about the classical Christian model of education. She is drawn to its intentional pursuit of what is Good, True, and Beautiful and its goal of forming critical thinkers and articulate communicators. She feels it will be a great gift to participate in a community so clearly striving to draw students closer to Jesus through education.

Roxanne and her husband, Brian, are members of Sts. Anne & Joachim church. They have been married for 26 years and are raising six children from 8 to 23 years of age. Their family is often playing board and card games or on a bike ride. In her spare time, Roxanne enjoys reading, scrapbooking and baking.

Greta Railing earned her bachelor's degree in English and Writing from Liberty University. As a classroom aide during the 2024-2025 school year, she came to love Capstone's joyful and Christ-honoring community. She is thrilled to begin her teaching career at Capstone. 

Greta is excited to be part of a school that emphasizes character formation and a biblical worldview. Her goal is to model and teach strong academic habits and a love for learning.

Beth Ustanko earned her B.A. in Elementary Education from Concordia College and her M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction from St. Catherine University. She completed her coursework for her Gifted and Talented Endorsement at the University of North Dakota. Her 23 years of teaching experience includes teaching in the Moorhead, West Fargo, and Fargo Public School Districts. Beth began her career as an elementary classroom teacher, and for the past 10 years, she has served as a gifted education specialist. 

Beth is excited to teach in a classical Christian setting. She sees many parallels between the teaching methods of classical education and gifted education, first and foremost being an emphasis on thinking. Beth appreciates how classical education promotes a love of learning and scholarship. She is also looking forward to teaching in a school which embraces Christian faith, and she is looking forward to sharing God’s truths with her students.

Beth and her husband live in West Fargo, and together they have a daughter who attends Concordia College. Outside of school, some of her favorite activities are reading and attending her daughter’s orchestra concerts. In addition, Beth has volunteered on the North Dakota Association for Gifted Children board since 2018.

Kendra Kudrna holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of North Dakota. She has five years of teaching experience, including 4th and 5th grades in Dickinson and West Fargo. 

Mrs. Kudrna was grateful to serve as a substitute teacher at Capstone in the 2023-24 school year. During that time, she was deeply encouraged by the intentional way the classical model cultivates lifelong learners and ignites curiosity in all that is true and beautiful. She believes God has placed it on her heart to return to the classroom full time and share her joy for learning with her students. Kendra strives to cultivate peace, humility, and goodness in her students so that they may carry those virtues with them outside of the classroom. 

Kendra lives in West Fargo with her husband Mitch and their three boys. They love to hike, ski, and travel to the mountains to explore God’s beautiful creation together. In her free time, Kendra loves to read, organize, paint, and play sports with her family. She looks forward to building relationships and growing in her faith alongside colleagues, students, and their families.

Molly Wobbema holds bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education from Valley City State University and Child Development and Family Science from NDSU. After teaching kindergarten and first grade in West Fargo, she homeschooled her children for seven years. While homeschooling, Molly did a deep dive into classical education. She served as a tutor and director of a classical homeschool community, where she helped others classically educate their own children, for five years. Mrs. Wobbema loves helping 5th graders cultivate wisdom and virtue as they begin to desire more dialectic conversations. 

Molly and her husband, Jordan, love to hike, snowshoe, ice skate, and play outside with their four children. They live in West Fargo and attend Calvary Church in Moorhead. In her free time, Molly loves to experiment with sourdough, spend time in her garden, and read. 

Robert Brandau was born and raised in Colorado. He earned his B.A. in History with a minor in Classical Education at Hillsdale College and is completing is teaching internship with Hillsdale Academy, the classical academy at Hillsdale College. He is excited to join the Capstone faculty in the fall.

"Capstone won us over to its mission and vision because of how it balances the classical and Christian elements of a good education, wherein students are invited into the enchanting world of learning about the source of the three Transcendentals—God Himself," says Mr. Brandau. He continues, "If that was not enough, the school community revealed its heart for hospitality and the noble commitment of spurring on one another to love and good works. We are thrilled to move to Fargo and extend the same hospitality to our new neighbors."

Mr. and Mrs. Brandau have been married since May of 2024. They enjoy quality time with each other in its various forms: daily devotions, reading their favorite books to each other, camping, hiking, and visiting museums. Playing and coaching rugby was a big part of Mr. Brandau's college career. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and volleyball also took up significant portions of his leisure time. Even more often than athletic pursuits, he finds himself delving into a work of theology, history, or literature, and subsequently trying to share what he learns with others. He and his wife are new to Fargo, but they are considering membership at a church in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

Kaylie comes to Capstone after teaching for 12 years in Enderlin and Casselton. She earned her B.A. in English Education from NDSU and her M.S. in Education with an emphasis in English from Valley City State. She is a Colson Fellow and is passionate about seeing life through the lens of Christ. She is excited to be able to educate students in a classical model that also shows the centrality of Jesus Christ.

For Kaylie, good teaching is modeled after the greatest teacher, Jesus himself. She believes that through his words, she and her students learn what it is to truly become wise and virtuous. She strives to be a living example of Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commission. Her prayer for her students is that they learn and grow and become smarter than her.

She and her family attend West Prairie Free Lutheran Church in rural Kindred. She and her husband, Dustin, have three beautiful children and live on a farm in southeast North Dakota.

When Kaylie is not teaching, she loves to travel, read, and craft. You will often find her on her front porch reading and taking in God's beauty. 

George Roughead received his B.S. degree in Composite Social Studies Education from the University of North Dakota. He has been working in education since 2011 and spent that time in his hometown of Grand Forks. In addition to teaching history, George coached high school football for 15 seasons. He has also coached soccer and wrestling. 

At Capstone, Mr. Roughead hopes to support the development of students’ capacities for the ethical and academic. He can’t wait to help guide students to become well-rounded citizens who think independently and deeply about the hardest questions we face.

George moved to Fargo in 2021. In his free time, he enjoys reading, playing video and board games, and hiking—but none of those things simultaneously. Mr. Roughead leads Chess Club and Latin Club and co-leads Ludus, Capstone's board game club, with Mr. Zinter.
