Faculty and Staff

After having the sweet gift of staying home with her children for over 20 years and seeing them begin to make lives of their own, Amy Legatt is now ready to serve her community. Amy is honored to be a part of the Capstone Community with the opportunity to serve families and fellow teammates as a classroom substitute and assist in the school’s Business Office.

Amy is drawn to the classical model as it gives students tools to develop and use their own critical thinking skills, and to wrestle through what is true, good and beautiful. It is her prayer students will have a heart of curiosity, to pursue Jesus, and to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is in them.”

Amy is married to Neil and together have two adult children. Amy always looks forward to family time, enjoys spending time outside, time at their lake home, working in the yard, attending Bible Study Fellowship, and cooking/baking from scratch. Amy also works for her husband as Office Manager in his residential construction company.

Tom Tucker is the Director of Advancement for Capstone Classical Academy. He has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from California State University Fullerton. He has also completed post-baccalaureate studies in broadcast journalism. His range of professional experience primarily includes serving as an Emmy award-winning television and radio broadcast journalist. He has also served as an international corporate trainer.

Tom is looking forward to using his skills in storytelling and relationship building in his efforts aimed at helping Capstone flourish. He is passionate about Capstone and about classical Christian education, and he loves the people who make up our growing school community. 

The entire Tucker family has been directly involved in Capstone since the school's founding. Tom served for two years on Capstone's Parent Fellowship Board, and his wife Patti serves as an administrative assistant at the school. Their daughter, Sophia, helps provide aftercare service. Their son, Levi, is a Capstone student. The Tuckers attend Salem Church in Moorhead, where Tom serves as a prayer minister.

Sue and her husband, Doug, live in Fargo with their three children, are members of Salem EFC. They enjoy spending time with friends, playing strategy board games, and hanging out. Doug is the director of Child Evangelism Fellowship of North Dakota. Sue served as Capstone's Business and Development Administrator for two years and has now transitioned into the Assistant Director of Advancement role.

About Capstone, Sue shares, “There are so many things I appreciate about classical Christian education, the primary perspective that is my favorite is the truth that theology is the ‘mother’ of all sciences and is the underpinning and overarching Truth that informs all other areas of learning. It has been exciting to see this in action and the effect it has had on our daughter.”

Her prayer is that God will bless our students in their studies with a sound mind, a desire to learn, and a passion to know Him more and for our families to be encouraged in their faith journey and as a result of their experiences with Capstone.

Kelley serves as an operations and logistics coordinator for facilities maintenance, the acquisition of supplies, equipment and furnishings, and the lunch program and supports the rest of the administrative team in various areas of need.

For years, Kelley has served in the community across different schools providing home-cooked and nourishing meals, as well as serving her children through homeschooling for 10 years. As a founding staff member, she is humbled to part of the Spirit-filled vision and culture of Capstone. She is eager to see growth and joy in students as they are blessed by the model of classical Christian education. "My prayer for Capstone is that Jesus would have center stage and that we would be defined by joy as we build up the family of believers."

Kelley Peterson lives in Fargo with her husband, Dave. Together they have raised three children, who are all living their young adult lives. They enjoy cooking, playing games, watching movies, and going to the lake together. For Kelley, however, serving kids of all ages continues to be her passion. In her personal life and her career, she has always been dedicated to service, learning, and caring for young people.

Simon was born and raised in Fergus Falls, Minnesota before enlisting to serve in the Air Force. His time in service took him across the country and across the world. He was stationed in California and Virginia, deployed to Afghanistan, then ultimately landed here in Fargo as part of the North Dakota Air National Guard. After 8 years in the military, Simon felt God tell him it was time for a change, and transitioned to civilian life.

Only a few months into this new life, he became connected with Capstone through friends and family. After volunteering to help the school move into their brand new campus, leadership took notice of him and offered him a job. "It was definitely the Lord who led me to Capstone. From my first time drafting up a resume and cover letter, to the smooth sailing through the interview process, I could tell that it was just all meant to be."

As facilities and maintenance manager, Simon's goal here at Capstone is that in 30 years this beautiful building still looks as new and cared-for as it does today. By working diligently behind the scenes, he hopes to support everyone else in what they do directly for the students and families.

Simon attends Northview Church here in Fargo, and in his free time enjoys fishing, golf, video games, and fixing up cars.

Sarah holds a culinary degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis and has nearly 25 year of experience in the food service & hospitality industry, ranging from hotel banquets, college dining centers & restaurants.  

She is so excited to have the privilege to step into the kitchen here at Capstone. Being a farm kid from a small town, she only knew the love of home meals, and now she wants to bring that feeling to the students and staff. 

Sarah has been married to her husband, Trent, since 2007.  Together they have one daughter, Helena and they live in West Fargo. They attend Lutheran Church of the Cross, when she has been an active member in the christian education program and is also a member of the choir.  When she’s not in her own kitchen, Sarah can often be found working on a quilt or reading a book.
