A NOTE FROM DR. SMITH
What a blessing 2021 2022 was for the Faith community! Having students, staff and families back on campus and participating in activities without restrictions for the entire year was felt exponentially in the classrooms, rehearsal halls, athletics fields and in day to day student life. Gathering again in person as the Faith Community was overwhelmingly fulfilling for all of us
Your generosity and commitment to our partnership in developing and graduating
GATHERING AGAIN IN PERSON AS THE FAITH COMMUNITY WAS OVERWHELMINGLY FULFILLING FOR ALL OF US.
Dr. Ed Smith
