Jenny Anklam (K-1)
Hi, I’m Jenny Anklam. I live in the Verdigris area with my husband Andrew and our three children. I graduated from the University of Houston with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 1999. I taught Pre-K in Houston for six years and Kindergarten for Tulsa Public Schools for two years, before having my first child. Since then, I have been a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my three children. My oldest graduated in 2025. My family enjoys being a part of The Hub, and I love teaching the youngest class!
Sarah Logsdon (2nd-3rd)
I’m Sarah Logsdon, wife to Bob and homeschooling mama to four great kids. Our family has been homeschooling for 12 years, and we still have 10 more exciting years to go! I have six years classroom experience in 1st and 2nd grades in both public and private school before our kids were born. I love teaching at the HUB and being in the classroom again! I enjoy camping and hiking with my family, reading good books (and adding new books to my to-be-read pile), and watching our funny flock of backyard chickens.

Brandy Douberley graduated from University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Graduate Certification as a Media Specialist. She worked as a librarian in Orlando, Florida and then had two daughters, Sarah and Abby. She has been homeschooling her youngest, Abby for 4 years. She’s currently employed by the Tulsa City-County Library as a substitute, working as needed. She’s been married for 21 years to her husband Greg and currently resides in Owasso. In her free time she enjoys reading, camping, traveling and kayaking.

She is excited to be able to share her passion for learning with The Hub's teenagers.
Mrs. Balachander (8th-11th)
Hello! My name is Veronica Balachander, and I’m thrilled to be part of your child’s educational journey this year. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Organizational and Human Resource Development. My passion for teaching began in Texas, where I had the opportunity to teach Spanish to middle school students—and I’ve loved being in the classroom ever since. Over the years, I’ve taught both middle and high school Spanish, and during my time in Colorado, I also had the joy of teaching Latin to upper elementary students in grades 3 through 5. After spending five wonderful years in Colorado, my family and I recently returned to our home state of Oklahoma. I’m passionate about languages and committed to creating a classroom environment that is supportive, engaging, and inspiring. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, experimenting with new recipes, and making meaningful memories with my family. I’m looking forward to a fantastic year filled with learning and growth!
