Dear High School Community,
What a season it has been. Concerts, games, labs, presentations, college applications, and capstone projects have filled our days. I’m grateful for the grit and grace I’ve seen across our campus. As we enter the final stretch of the semester, there is always a mix of anticipation for the holidays and the strain of deadlines. This is expected, and can be navigated with wisdom.
Our aim is not simply to finish, but to finish faithfully. Scripture invites us to “run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1–2). That perspective keeps our work grounded because we labor wholeheartedly, not for applause or anxiety, but unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
Parents, thank you for your steady partnership. Your support shapes both well-being and wisdom. A simple nightly question can help: “What’s your plan for tomorrow, and how can I help?”
Faculty, I’m grateful for your clear expectations, timely feedback, and patient mentorship. Your presence in classrooms, hallways, and rehearsals models the very perseverance we hope to cultivate.
To everyone carrying a heavy load, let’s encourage one another, bear one another’s burdens, and finish this term with endurance, wisdom, and peace.
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.
