A WORD FROM DR. "C"

It is a joy to greet you this summer as, in the quietness of the summer, I once again look forward to the pleasant sounds of students returning to school. I trust that the Lord has given your family a wonderful summer so far and that you will continue to enjoy some quality family time together building memories that will last a lifetime.

Speaking of building memories, having had time to reflect on our 30^th anniversary year, I am full of gratitude for the opportunities our students had this past year and the academic and spiritual growth our students were able to experience this year. From orientation camp to athletic competition, student leadership conference, Heritage Days, Fine arts competition on both state and national level, field trips, and daily instruction in the classroom culminating with field day, class trips and senior graduation, we were able to package many events into a great school year which just flew by.

As I look ahead to my fourth year here as HCA principal, I’m eager to see how the Lord will use our teachers to touch the lives of HCA students in the fall. As I look over the list of faculty and staff, I’m deeply grateful for the commitment of our folks here to give of their lives to nurture young people in the ways of the Lord. I know that we have great challenges ahead, but with those challenges also come great opportunities.

Although we remain a small school, we believe that the Lord has given us a unique opportunity here in the Hartford area to impact quality Christian servant leaders for the years ahead. A recent article I read reminded me that, although in our society often size is the measure of success, in a Christian setting, what counts is not size, but service. We look forward to serving you in many ways and in whetting the appetites of our students to sharpening their academic, athletic, and fine arts skills for the Lord’s service.

We are praying for your family this summer, and thank you for your prayers as we diligently prepare for our thirty-first year of the ministry of Christian education. Enjoy the joy and beauty of the summer season.

"That...I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind

striving together for the faith of the gospel." Philippians 1:27b
