Faith Christian

Faith Christian School was thrilled to finally pave our parking lot this summer (top left). We also expanded the parking lot to allow for more gravel parking, which will eventually be blacktop. Not only is the parking lot cleaner and smoother, we now have additional parking to allow for more families to attend school at FCS. We’ve been growing steadily over the last several years and this year we have over 200 students!

Along with new changes, some are brought back from previous years. We were thrilled to announce the return of our Home Economics class (bottom left), taught by Mrs. Kim Hauck. Life skills (and delicious recipes) are learned in her class every day! We’re also excited to once again have our Theatre class and are looking forward to a spring musical in May.

An exciting event this year was when our Boys Soccer team played the Dixon Dukes (photo above). Normally, we don’t ever play any public school teams, but our amazing coaches and athletic director coordinated this game for us! The Falcons won the game and continued to win throughout the rest of the season; they ended with yet another ACSI championship win! The season record was an undefeated 18-0.

Our year is always event-filled, with students already taking trips to Ag Awareness Day at the Ogle County Fairgrounds, Nachusa Grasslands, and even the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter (photo at left) in Kentucky! A big trip that high school students have the option to take this year is a week-long visit to Washington D.C. with our government teacher Mrs. German.

Last year, Pastor Phil Arellano joined the staff here at FCS and currently leads a Chapel service every Friday. Students are able to be involved in leading worship through their musical and vocal abilities, but they also get to learn the technological side. Our 5th12th student body is able to worship and grow together, a shining example of the environment we foster at Faith Christian School. n
