All To The Glory of God!

Dear Holly Grove Christian School Families,

I pray you have had a restful and refreshing summer. As the summer break comes to a close, we look forward with great anticipation to the start of a new school year. Last year, Holly Grove Christian School celebrated 50 years of Christ-centered education. We give thanks to God for His faithfulness throughout the decades and trust in His continued blessings in the years ahead.

Our guiding theme for the 2026–2027 school year is "All to the Glory of God." This theme is based on 1 Corinthians 10:31–33:

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.”

This year, our focus will be on honoring God in everything we do. Our Board of Directors will make decisions to the glory of God. Our administration will lead to the glory of God. Our faculty and staff will plan, teach, and serve to the glory of God. Our students will study diligently, participate enthusiastically, compete honorably, and conduct themselves in a manner that brings glory to God. If we keep this purpose at the center of all we do, I believe we will experience a truly successful and rewarding school year.

In addition to the continued progress on our new building project, we are excited to share several significant campus improvements that were completed over the summer. These include updated Promethean ActivPanels in both our lower and upper school classrooms, as well as a brand-new sound system in our gymnasium that will greatly enhance the many programs and events held in that space. I am incredibly grateful to our Grandparents Association, Athletic Boosters, Parent-Teacher Fellowship, and several Christian foundations whose generous support made these upgrades possible. Our facilities have also received fresh paint and carpet in select classrooms and the elementary hallway. Special thanks go to Mr. Joe Hubbs, Adam Svatos, Josh White, and our student workers for their hard work and dedication in preparing our campus for the new school year.

We are pleased to welcome new staff members and celebrate some internal transitions:

·         Mr. Robert “Bob” Boyce – Lower School Principal

·         Mrs. Chloe Dize - Art Teacher

·         Mrs. Donna Behe - 4th through 6th Music Teacher

·         Mr. Daniel Medica – High School History Teacher

·         Mrs. Emily Larmore – College/Career Counselor (formerly high school history teacher)

·         Mrs. Amanda Bromley - High School Science (formerly 4th - 6th music teacher)

Once again, I want to thank you for choosing Holly Grove Christian School for the important task of educating and training your child. Amid uncertain economic, social, cultural and spiritual times, the value of a Christ-centered education is more apparent than ever. At Holly Grove, our mission is to partner with you in raising students who live God-honoring lives and pursue academic excellence with Christ at the center.

I encourage each of our families to embrace the theme of the 2026–2027 school year: "All to the Glory of God." May we work together to keep Christ at the center of all we do, honoring Him through our words, actions, attitudes, and service to others. Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to a wonderful school year and all that God has in store for Holly Grove Christian School.

Welcome Back!

Hello, Holly Grove Christian School families!

I hope you are as eager as I am to begin a new school year. It has been a wonderful, relaxing summer filled with fun and sun, but I am thankful and excited to be back. The halls of our school have been too quiet over the summer, and having the students and staff return will truly bring this place to life.

As mentioned in our welcome letter, our theme this year is "Love God. Love Others," inspired by Jesus' teaching in Matthew 22:37-39. By focusing on these two principles, we aim to create an amazing school environment that will positively impact our families and community.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time through phone, email, or by stopping in. I am looking forward to an incredible year at Holly Grove, as we strive to be a light in our community.

May God bless you and your family this year!

Announcement: Holly Grove Christian School Expansion

Responding to God’s goodness towards Holly Grove Christian School, we are excited to share that there will be an exciting change occurring in the near future. 

New Building

In the last 12 years, the footprint of our school has remained unchanged and since our last expansion God has provided additional programs, increases in faculty and staff, and increased student enrollment.  Our current space has yet to reflect this growth adequately. With an unwavering commitment to providing an enriching environment for our students, we are announcing plans for a 12,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose building.  

This new building will include:

• a full-size gymnasium with a unique archery range.

• a dedicated classroom space for our current vocational classes as well as opportunities for future vocational classes.

• two brand new science labs for our middle and high school students.

• a spacious 32x22 ft. storage room.

• bathrooms that can also be used for outdoor sporting events.

Cost & Fundraising

The preliminary cost of this building project is $800,000, however, with the addition of a mandatory sprinkler system, the cost is now $1,000,000. There will be many opportunities to contribute to this project including our annual Race for Education fundraiser, the Athletic Boosters, the Grandparents Association, and through online donations. All contributions are tax-deductible.  It is important to note that tuition funds will not be allocated for this project.

Other Improvements

In addition to the expansion of our school, we will also be improving our existing facilities.  Upgrades will start taking place in the summer of 2024 and include replacing our old lockers with brand new lockers, enhancing our science lab, extending the metal roof on a section of our building, and resolving the drainage issue with our playground.  The funding necessary for these upgrades is already available and no additional fundraising will be necessary.

Thank you for your support

By continuing to trust in God’s sovereignty, we embark on this journey together.  As always, the board does not take lightly the responsibility that has been placed on us by Him to guide Holly Grove Christian School.  We deeply appreciate your support and are thankful for the opportunity to partner with you as we build a foundation that will positively impact HGCS in the years to come.
