PCA's Senior Walk: An Annual Tradition

main image

Senior Walk is a celebration in which soon-to-be graduates walk the halls of their school as a way of demonstrating to younger students that hard work pays off.

We love this sweet PCA tradition! We believe it provides an opportunity for seniors to both celebrate their achievements and inspire younger students to follow in their footsteps. This year's Senior Walk took place last Wednesday and the PCA family was delighted to celebrate our Class of 2024. 

Following the Senior Walk, our students along with family and friends, gathered in the Worship Center where they were affirmed and encouraged during the Senior Awards Ceremony. This year's class has excelled in arts, academics, and athletics. If God calls someone to a task, he equips them and this year's graduating class has risen to the challenges and finished well.

Seniors were recognized for academic achievement (highest GPA) in each subject and individually recognized in a character traits presentation. Joshua Matthews was awarded the prestigious Headmasters Award for leadership.

Congratulations to each member of our graduating class for your individual accomplishments. It is our joy to affirm the unique way the Lord has fearfully and wonderfully made each of you!

Psychology Students Gain Experience In Mock Counseling Sessions

We’re thrilled to share the latest highlights from this past year from our Psychology program led by Webb Barnes. Over the course of the year, students researched various mental health topics, engaged in mock counseling sessions, and wrote about these topics applying gospel truth to real life situations. 

In their final project, students conducted 50-minute-long mock counseling sessions where one student role played an individual with their researched diagnosis and another student would engage them in conversation and provide godly counsel. 

For example, Morgan Walters’ cumulative coursework provided a powerful learning experience when he embodied his research into anxiety and played the role of someone struggling with anxiety. 

Mr. Barnes emphasized how this learning experience fostered important skills: “This experience taught the students essential communication skills. If they can provide biblical counsel, they build friendships and resiliency will grow. At the very least, they learned to sit shoulder to shoulder with someone, to be present, and to share the gospel. I love it!” 

We are so grateful for all of our wonderful faculty who create meaningful lessons and academic experiences that integrate the gospel into every content area!
