Student Government Association Is Leading The Way!

Student Government Associations exist in schools across the country as a means of governing student interests, providing support to the student body, and serving others by hosting activities and events that enhance student life. “A major part of our vision” said Upper School Principal, Sean Keiper, “is to encourage a positive environment of growth for students. We see great value in hearing the voice of the students regarding their experience. We desire to gather their input and work with them as they drive the spirit of the school. One way this occurs is through our Student Government Association.”

Our newly elected SGA officers and representatives for the 2021-2022 school year are:

President - Colin Johnson
Vice President - Abigail Walters
Treasurer/Secretary - Sally Cease

Class Representatives:
9th: Greta Anderson & Joseph Terry 
10th: Autumn Benton & Hans Payne 
11th: Jordan Benfield & Sarah Anne Horne 
12th: Kendall Anderson & Anna Jaye Walters 

When asked what he most hoped to accomplish this year, President Colin Johnson said, "My goal is to deliver to PCA the requests of the student population all the while striving to carry out the Lord’s will for this school in everything I do and through every decision I make. The SGA administration and I are currently working on a handful of projects. These include planning the homecoming festivities, integrating student led small groups, and raising awareness in the community by participating in events such as the Walk for Life. I am so honored to be serving PCA in this position and want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity.”

SGA's first task? Homecoming. The new team met last week and already worked out many of the details of this fun, annual tradition at PCA including this year's Spirit Week theme, “All Around the World!” 

PCA looks forward to the year ahead with these dedicated students leading the way!

Senior Walk: A PCA 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. We are currently editing a video to showcase this milestone occasion. Be sure to check your inbox in the coming days so you can watch and enjoy the celebrations of our Class of 2021!

Following the Senior Walk, our Class of 2021 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.

Alex Stephens was awarded the prestigious Headmasters Award for leadership while Olivia Horne received the Dewey Caulder Award for athletic distinction.

Congratulations to every 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!
