Dear High School Community,

As the semester carries on, and stress, fatigue, and distractions build, it is essential to return to our shared center: Christ, who makes himself known to us through the Scriptures (Luke 24:27). God’s Word steadies us, comforts us, and directs us when our own words feel insufficient (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

From time to time, I have been especially encouraged by Ezra. After exile and disruption, Ezra stepped into a bruised community not with noise but with a clear, faithful pattern; he “set his heart” to study God’s Word, to live it, and to teach it (Ezra 7:10). Even the king’s letter recognized him as a scribe skilled and faithful in the Law of the Lord (Ezra 7:11). These three things - study, live, teach - capture the top priorities of our school.

Study: We devote ourselves to Scripture because it is God‑breathed and equips us for every good work. In classrooms, chapels, and homes, we open the Bible expecting God to address us with truth and grace (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

Live: We do not want to be hearers only, but doers. We seek to embody what we learn, in our friendships, our online presence, our diligence, and our compassion, so that our faith takes visible shape in daily life (James 1:22).

Teach: We let the word of Christ dwell in us richly so that we can build one another up, students, parents, and teachers alike, teaching and encouraging in wisdom and love (Colossians 3:16). Parents, your faithful conversations at home matter deeply; impress these words on your children as you walk, sit, and rise (Deuteronomy 6:6–7).
