On October 6th, WIN Academy held its first official huddle for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Never before has WIN Academy offered a student organization such as this. FCA focuses on serving by engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and student athletes to unite, inspire and change the world through the gospel.

Our FCA huddles are held the first Thursday of each month from 9:40AM-10:20AM. Students can participate by signing up to receive an entrance ticket from Coach Rouse. During the meetings, guest speakers will address the group and share personal testimonies and words of encouragement, wisdom and hope.

Mr. Chris Lones was our program's first presenter, and he spoke a powerfully moving message to our students and staff.

On November 6th, we will welcome Jaylan Lowder, former student from Veterans High School, magna cum laude graduate from FVSU and a current teacher and coach for the district.

It is our Mission at WIN Academy to provide flexible learning opportunities that lead to graduation. Our Vision is to support students academically and socially to ensure their success today and into the future.

The following events will be provided for our students to expose them to resources and programs of opportunity as they plan for their future beyond graduation.

In September, the Principal for the Dual Achievement Program at Central Georgia Technical College, LaKeitha Weston, spoke to our students about a new educational opportunity. From that meeting, two of our students were accepted into the program!

WIN Academy hosted representatives from the Unites States Army and Navy. These Armed Forces Specialists spoke with our 10th, 11th and 12th graders about the opportunities and benefits of joining the military.

We would like to give special thanks to MidSouth Community Credit Union and The 100 Women in Gold for their generous donation to our school. Support from the community is a critical part in helping our students reach their goals.
