PCA Board Chairman Inducted Into Hall Of Fame

The 2022 College of Charleston Athletics Hall of Fame Class has been selected and PCA Board Chairman, Dr. John Graham, is among the group of six honorees who were inducted in a special ceremony this past Saturday.

A press release from the College of Charleston states that "Dr. Graham worked side by side with the College of Charleston Athletics Department and Sports Medicine department for over 25 years. He was an integral part of our student-athlete health and success since we moved from an NAIA institution to current day success. Dr. Graham was the sole Orthopedic Provider for our department for the last 25 years and during this graciously assisted us with answering calls, evaluating injuries, and performing surgeries on our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. He has helped mold and shape the care we provide today. He has cared for All-Americans, Olympic competitors, and professional athletes while they represented CofC collegiately. Dr. John Graham represented our school values and expectations at the highest levels during his time with us!”

In his induction address, Dr. Graham used the opportunity to share the following: "As I begin, it is important for me to speak to my purposes in life and motivations to deliver excellent care. My calling and desires are based on Christ’s work in my life. He has demonstrated grace to me, and in humility and with gratitude, I desire to demonstrate that grace to others.”

Congratulations to Dr. Graham on this tremendous honor. We are grateful for his continued support and godly leadership at PCA.

Join Us For A Fantastic Production Of Aladdin!

Get ready to enter a whole new world when the PCA Middle School drama department takes to the stage for this year's production of Aladdin, Jr.

Every other year the dynamic duo that is drama teacher Jenni Brown and choir director Kathy Thames take PCA’s middle schoolers and turn them into a crew worthy of the broadway stage.

This year's production is made up of a total of 73 sixth-through-eighth grade students that together perform the tasks of: stage crew, “commercials”, members of the cast, and dancers. With no time to waste, the team has hit the ground running. When auditions finished in December, students began rehearsals as soon as they came back from break, practicing during drama and choir classes as well as after school everyday to get each step and note just right. Members of the cast and their directors are all very excited about how the play is coming together!

“The most exciting part about being the Genie,” said Laura Horne, “is being able to learn from Mrs. Brown and showing my personality through acting this role!

"I am always so excited to see how the talents of the students shine,” said Thames. “A musical combines acting, singing and choreography, so students have to work so hard and remember a lot! Mrs. Brown and I are always so proud of how our students grow as artists during this process!"

“I am most excited for opening night,” said Brown, “when the kids see it all come together and see the fruits of their labor. 

Don’t worry, you won’t need three wishes from the genie to be able to see this show. Performances will take place on February 10 at 6 pm, February 11 at 6 pm, with a matinee on Saturday, February 12 at 2 pm.
