Join us in wishing “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Hilliard! 🎉

Whether he’s teaching apologetics, history, or economics, Justin brings knowledge and conviction to every class. His students know they can count on him for thoughtful discussions, challenging questions, and the occasional perfectly timed one-liner.

Known around PCA for his impressive beard and his ability to defend the Gospel with clarity and confidence, Justin is a blessing to our school community. We’re grateful for the wisdom, faithfulness, and laughter he brings to the school each day.

Happy birthday, Mr. Hilliard! 🥩🥓

As a fourth grade teacher, she brings the curriculum— especially the Bible and literature—to life in a way that is meaningful, authentic, and inspiring. She is a constant encourager who loves seeing others discover the same joy of learning she possesses.

Her passion, kindness, and genuine heart make a lasting impact every single day. We are so thankful for her and hope she has the happiest birthday yet! 💙💛

Happy Birthday to the incomparable Miss Monroe!

Since the beginning of the school year, our monthly Spirit Days have been building excitement as students gathered in their color teams, ate pizza together, and were led in devotionals by our Upper School students.

Last week, those team bonds came to life in the ultimate celebration of teamwork—PCA Greek Fest! Our teams chose their mascots, decorated their chariots, brought the energy, and gave it their all in a day full of games, laughter, and friendly competition.

🏆 Congratulations to the Red Manticores for taking home the Greek Fest trophy!
🦉 And a big cheer for the Silver Sea Goats, winners of the Owl for outstanding sportsmanship!

From start to finish, it was a day filled with joy, teamwork, and school spirit. No wonder it’s a favorite for so many of our students!
