The Upper Campus is in need of tissues and paper towels. If you'd like to make a donation of a box or two of tissues, or a roll or two of paper towels, please drop them off at the front office. We've exhausted our supply. Also, please remind your student to pack a spoon or fork in their lunch as we cannot supply those. Thank you!
Applications for the 2026–27 school year open Feb. 1, 2026, for the Private School Scholarship and Unique Abilities Scholarship. Mark your calendars so you don't forget to reapply for Step Up. Step Up will send you email reminders as well. For those of you new to Step Up, you must state your intent to use the scholarship on an annual basis. Your student will receive a new student award ID which will need to be provided to Finance.
Join us February 6-8, 2026 for our annual High School Youth Retreat at Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center in Leesburg, FL. Here, high school students will have an opportunity to unwind from the stresses of school, spend time in nature, build community with each other and lean in to God's love for us. This year's theme, ABIDE, will tackle the latter topic: how do we truly and effectively lean into God in all aspects of our life?
Registration this year is $180 per student and covers housing and food for the weekend. As with previous years, we ask that students get dropped off at camp on Friday afternoon and picked up from camp on Sunday. More details to come as we get nearer to the event.
If you have any questions, please email me at Josh@hclm.org.
