Dear High School Community,
This Friday evening, we look forward to one of our school traditions, the Junior Senior Banquet or JSB.
Each year, our juniors host an evening of fine dining, thoughtful tributes, and joyful celebration in honor of the graduating class. It is a night marked by laughter, gratitude, and a few memorable surprises along the way. More than a formal event, the banquet represents something deeper in the life of our school, the passing of a torch.
In a Christian community, we believe in honoring what is worthy of honor. Scripture reminds us to “outdo one another in showing honor” (Romans 12:10). The Junior Senior Banquet is a living expression of that principle. Our juniors pause to recognize the leadership, perseverance, and presence of the seniors who have helped shape the culture of our school this year.
The Class of 2026 has left its mark, in classrooms, on athletic fields, on the stage, in service initiatives, and in the daily life of our hallways. They have grown not only in knowledge, but in maturity. As they prepare to step into the next chapter, we are grateful for the ways they have contributed to the strength and spirit of our community.
A few important reminders as we approach graduation week:
Graduation Rehearsal: Wednesday, June 3
Senior Trip Day: Thursday, June 4
Graduation Ceremony: Saturday, June 6
These final events give us the opportunity both to celebrate and to reflect. The end of a school year always carries a mixture of joy and sadness, especially when we are sending forth students we have known, taught, coached, and prayed for.
It has been a good year. A year of growth, challenge, accomplishment, and deepened community. As we honor our seniors this week, we do so with gratitude to God for His faithfulness and with confidence that the seeds planted here will continue to bear fruit in the years ahead.
We look forward to celebrating together.
Blessings,
Kiel Nation, D.Min
High School Principal

Whether you plan to attend university near or far, you can stay on track with the SAT. Most colleges—including those that are test optional—still accept SAT test scores. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or career. And if you're thinking about studying abroad, there are more than 400 universities in 85 countries outside the United States that use the SAT in the admissions process.
Parents, be empowered and equipped with the knowledge and resources you need to support your child's growth and success. This page provides resources, and we hope to help parents navigate the challenges of parenting and support your child's overall well-being.
