Events & Announcements
The word delight means “to gain great pleasure, satisfaction, and happiness.” Isn’t that the kind of relationship you want with the Lord? Well, God also wants that kind of connection, and our part in helping it develop is through commitment, trust, and patience. Enjoying our relationship with the Lord requires effort, but it is a labor of love. We were made to find joy in God’s presence. The greatest pleasure we can experience is to walk hand in hand with our Father. Take time each day to bask in His presence and delight yourself in Him!

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!
Registration for this event is located directly on the parent Blackbaud account, set to close out on August 4th. Be sure to secure your spot so you don’t miss out! Also, do not forget to download the Camp Highlands Child Form Waiver (under 18) or the Adult Form Waiver to be filled out and completed for the student. The waiver forms will be collected no later than August 7th before departing for the retreat.
As an added bonus, we will be hosting potluck brunch inside the MPR for our seniors and parents before leaving campus. This will be a wonderful opportunity to fellowship and to pray with our senior families. In order to make this event successful, parents are encouraged to consider volunteer opportunities.

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.
Updates about the High School Kitchen
If you have visited our campus this summer, you have seen the construction in our high school building. We are so excited to share that our new kitchen in the High School is on schedule and will be up and running by the start of school. This wonderful addition to our campus will give your high school student access to an enhanced dining program.
New and improved dining program
Additional menu offerings including a wide variety of healthy options:
Full soup and salad bar
Deli bar
Hot food stations
Splashes (beverage station)
Desserts (twice a week)
Multiple trips
Senior families, you will be receiving an email with more details to opt in to the new and improved dining program. Because Seniors are allowed to leave campus during the day, they are not automatically enrolled in the dining program. However, this year Seniors are able to enroll in the dining program for a semester at a time to allow for sports season conflicts. Please keep a lookout for an email on Monday, July 17th with more details to enroll.
