Honor & Awards Ceremony
On Thursday night, we celebrated our students and school community with our Honor & Awards Ceremony. It was a joy to honor our students' well-deserved achievements in sports, in academics, and most importantly in their character.
We also celebrated our 15th year as a school; God has been so good to us and we want to honor Him for the vision for the school and the provision of His gold – His people – to make it happen. Speaking of gold, Ms. Ashlee Fisk and Mrs. Leslie McCleskey were honored with our Pioneer Award for 13 years of faithfulness. They have been and continue to be pillars at our school.
