Meet Coach Lusk!

What’s your new ICS position?

I am the new High School Girls Basketball Coach.

Where are you from?

I am originally from Jackson, Missouri. I went to college in Rolla, Missouri and met my husband Braden. After college, we lived in Cleveland, Ohio; Hutchinson, Kansas; Lexington, Kentucky; and returned to Rolla, Missouri in 2016. In 2018, Braden accepted a position at Dyno Nobel which is headquartered in Salt Lake City.  We made the move to Utah in 2020.

Where do you go to church?

My family attends Grace Lutheran in Sandy, UT.

Tell us about your family!

As mentioned above, my husband is Braden and he works for Dyno Nobel which is an explosives manufacturer.  Braden has a PhD in Mining Engineering with an emphasis in explosives engineering.  We have been married for 21 years.  We have been blessed with two amazing daughters Kendrick and Gillian.  Kendrick and Gillian both attend ICS.  Kendrick will be a freshman this year, and Gillian will be in 7th grade.   The final member of our family is our 10 year old goldendoodle, Thunder, who thinks he is just one of the kids.

What are you most passionate about?

As a current stay-at-home mom, most people don't know that I have a BS in Civil Engineering and a PhD in Mining Engineering. I am also a registered Professional Engineer in Kentucky.  I am a big supporter of STEM education. 

What are you looking forward to most in your new role at ICS?

I am so excited to be a part of the ICS Athletics Team!  I am most looking forward to getting to know the girls basketball players and hope to share with them some of the life lessons/skills I learned from basketball, such as mental toughness, being a good teammate and strong competitor, setting and achieving goals, and having fun playing sports. Most importantly, I want to help the players enjoy and utilize the gifts and abilities that God has given them.  I look forward to seeing how we come together as a team and use these gifts to glorify God.

What else would you like for the ICS community to know about you? Fun fact?

My family loves boating and the lake! We boat on Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
