How do you integrate faith and learning at HCS?

I love that I am able to integrate faith into every subject area and promote Biblical characteristics for my students. We take time to share prayer requests and open every day in prayer to get our minds right before the Lord at the start of our school day. Bible is more than just a subject we study. It is an integral part of our school day and the reason we study. “Do all to the glory of God” 1 Corinthians 10:31

HCS students stand apart from other students in their academics but also in character. With a mind trained towards Christ-likeness, students care for each other and take pride in their learning.
