A Message from Head of School, Wes Kanawyer
A Message from Head of School, Wes Kanawyer
Dear Valor Parents,
As we look ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, our hearts are full of gratitude for the Lord’s faithfulness. He continues to sustain and lead Valor Preparatory Academy, and we are reminded daily that this school is His work, for His glory.
This is a thrilling time in our school’s journey. The Bosque Square Legacy Campaign is more than a building project—it’s a call to generational impact. While walls and classrooms will soon be taking shape, the true foundation being laid is spiritual and eternal. The work happening in our students’ hearts, in their minds, and through our community is unmistakably Christ-centered. God is moving, and we’re simply following His lead.
As we prepare to step into the future, we remain committed to clinging tightly to Christ, being led by His Spirit, and living for His glory. Our mission is unchanged: to partner meaningfully with families in the formation of young men and women who know truth, love goodness, and live for the glory of God. Parents—you are the essential foundation of that formation. Your faith, intentionality, and presence in your children’s lives make all the difference, and we are honored to link arms with you in this sacred work.
This Summer Packet has been thoughtfully assembled to help your family feel more than ready for a successful and peaceful start to the upcoming school year. Inside, you’ll find everything you need—from schedules and supply lists to important dates and details.
We are deeply indebted to our amazing administrators, phenomenal teachers, and stellar students and parents. You make this community vibrant and strong. With eyes fixed on Christ and a mission rooted in Scripture, we believe the future is bright—because He is faithful.
With joy and anticipation,
Wes Kanawyer
Head of School
