Events & Announcements
Singing has such a unique way of bringing your heart, soul, mind, and strength together to focus entirely and completely on God. In an age of distraction, singing grabs the attention of all our senses and focuses us on God. So let's sing, praising God for what he has done, proclaiming what he will do, and sharing what he is currently doing in our lives!

Reminder - 9th and 10th grade students that are dropped off and enter the building during the early arrival time will not be permitted to leave the building to go off campus. Freshly made sausage biscuits and chicken biscuits, along with various muffins, coffee, pastries and other breakfast items are available to purchase in the mornings. The prices are comparable with those at off campus vendors.
Our student lounge and MPR are utilized for those students that need to arrive before the start of their first class. Additionally we will be opening up the outdoor space under the shades for students to enjoy breakfast items with their friends. We will even have outdoor heaters to make the space more comfortable during the colder days of the season.
YOU WON 9th Grade!
The 9th grade had the highest percentage of participation for this year’s Annual Fund Blitz!

Counseling News!!
YouScience
In the coming weeks, the high school counselors will be conducting classroom guidance lessons to introduce the students to an online educational program the school has purchased - YouScience.
YouScience was created to help students answer two of life’s biggest questions:
1) “Why am I learning this?” and “What do I want to be when I grow up?” The online program guides students through a series of brain games designed to reveal their aptitude and then connects that aptitude to in-demand careers in which they are uniquely qualified to succeed. The program also includes a comprehensive search engine to technical, community and 4-yr. colleges that might fit the student's needs. It will allow students to understand who they are, how God created them and how they might use their abilities to support themselves and impact the world.
