class of 2022 Valedictorian & Salutatorian

Ginny Lash | Valedictorian

Ginny Lash will attend Colby College next year where she plans to follow a pre-law track and subsequently attend law school to specialize in criminal defense. As a Charlotte Christian student, Ginny was a National Merit Commended Scholar, an AP Scholar with Distinction, received her Seal of Biliteracy for Latin and earned an Academic Conservatory Distinction in Math/Science. She was a member of the National Latin Honor Society and president of the National Honor Society. Outside of the classroom she participated for four years on the varsity soccer team and played club soccer with the Charlotte Eagles. She also participated in several fine arts productions, most recently High School Musical, Beauty and the Beast and Murder at the Chili Cook Off. She spearheaded a book drive for Promising Pages and collected a total of 2,108 books.

Charlotte Christian has surrounded me with people who care deeply about my success, not only as a person, but as a Christ-follower as well. Day in and day out teachers pour into me and my classmates, not only teaching us the course content but also giving us role models to look up to. Charlotte Christian has given me the tools I need to feel secure in my faith as I enter into a much more secular environment.

David Ntim | Salutatorian

David Ntim will attend Duke University in the fall where he will pursue biophysics in hopes of becoming a medical physicist. David received the Benjamin N. Duke Scholarship to attend Duke on a full scholarship to the university that includes the full cost of tuition, room, board and mandatory fees for four years of undergraduate education. As a Charlotte Christian student, David is a National Merit Finalist, a College Board National African American Recognition Program winner and an AP Scholar with Distinction. He has also earned the Seal of Biliteracy for Spanish and was the first senior to earn five Academic Conservatory distinctions in Bible, Philosophy, Religion; English; Math/ Science; Social Studies and World Languages. Outside of the classroom he served as the Spiritual Life Prefect his senior year and is the project creator for Tech to Africa, collecting computers, supplies and accessories for a computer learning center in Pepease-Kwahu, Ghana, West Africa.

Charlotte Christian has helped develop my faith. It has been a blessing to learn from my teachers and mentors, not only academically but also spiritually. It has helped expose me to different areas of learning that I hope to pursue. I am thankful for every teacher, administrator and more that has poured into me, and I am grateful for my experience at CCS.
