Events & Announcements
Summer can be the best time of year to spend quality time with family and friends and forget about school for a while! The time away from school allows for us to have vacation and a bit of rest and relaxation before our year cranks back up with a calendar full of activities and demands on our schedules! We hope that you are taking time each day to SOAK in the truths of God’s Word and so that we’ll SHINE as we seek to apply that truth to our lives and praise God throughout our day.
SOAK —As we soak in God’s Word and His presence, we’ll walk away refreshed and renewed and prepared to pour out and serve others with the love of Christ.
SHINE — the word “praised” in Hebrew is the word hâlal, which means to be clear, to shine, to make a show, to boast, to rave, to celebrate; to be worthy of praise.
From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!~Psalm 113:3

Senior Retreat
Senior students will kick off the school year together in the North Georgia Mountains enjoying team building, games, worship and inspiring teaching moments Aug. 7-9th! Additional information about the retreat, including the full event schedule will be available in future communications.

Additionally, we will be hosting potluck brunch inside the MPR for our seniors and parents before leaving campus.

2023-24 High School Schedules
Finalized schedules will be available to view Tuesday, Aug. 1st
Here is the updated 2023-24 high school period and time schedule.
Parking is on Hold
We will start the year without underclassmen being able to drive on campus. This means that only Juniors and Seniors will be able to obtain a driver’s parking permit for the upcoming school year. We understand that this is an inconvenience, but the good news is that we are just on hold for opening up spaces for underclassmen. Our property expansion for additional parking is still under construction and will not be ready for the start of the school year. There will also not be any paid parking in the old heirloom lot as they do not own it anymore.
