How it started...
See You at the Pole was inspired by students in a youth group in Burleson, Texas who went to several different schools to pray during a weekend retreat. In 1991, the movement started to grow globally. It’s now an annual national event that takes place on the 4th Wednesday of September. Students gather together around their schools flagpole to pray for their friends, neighbors, school, and nation.
Every year our school participates in See You at the Pole. This year it was held in the gym at 7:45 a.m. Students were invited to pray, worship, and encounter God with their school family. So many brave kids stepped up and prayed in front of the student body, including Luke Galey, Emma Kruse, Caroline Mathias, Emile Van Haelen, and Louis Thuer. New and old members of the worship team played beautifully for their peers to start off a great morning. The school also provided donuts as an added bonus!

See You at the Pole provides an opportunity for students to get closer to God. They get to open up and make a wholesome connection through prayer and worship. Most students will remember this morning as they look back on their high school experience. It’s an amazing way to kick off the school year and to relieve some of the stress it brings.

"Well it is a national student led movement, but also it's about Jesus. I encourage anybody to get to know Jesus. So, when it's about Jesus, you should be there."
