PCA's Senior Walk: An Annual Tradition

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!

Students Learn Engineering & Biblical Lessons In Design Challenge

For the past two weeks, Lower School STEM students have been working on designing, building, and testing a boat. 

STEM teacher, Ellen Peek said, "As we built, we focused on the foundation of our boats. We discussed what would help it float and how to balance weight on the boat. Students found that some foundations tipped easily even though they floated. We then discussed the importance of foundations in life. What we build our life on and around matters." 

During the lessons, students studied the story in Luke 5 where Jesus tells Peter to let out the nets again even though they worked all night and caught nothing. Miraculously they caught so many fish that the boats began to sink. Students also learned about the Galilee boat, a fishing boat from biblical times that was found in the Sea of Galilee in 1986. They loved testing how many “fish” their boats would hold!
