Principal's Message

Dear GCA Family,


I am very excited to welcome everyone as we will soon begin the 2023-2024 school year. I am believing that this year is going to be a great one, because I know without a doubt that God loves this school and has plans for it and all the families connected to it. Just seeing what He has done over the past few months to help us to prepare for the beginning of a new school year, amazes me.


As we look forward to the new school year we have so much to be thankful for! Through the years GCA has been a firm foundation in the lives of hundreds of students and this year we have our largest enrollment yet! By focusing on excellence and being centered in Christ, we will remain steadfast in serving our families, while we continue to seek new and safe ways to grow and improve our programs. It is our goal to draw out and inspire the best in our students as we provide them with opportunities to create, explore, and learn. It is our desire that GCA will continue to be a blessing in the community and that our students will grow in faith. God is good, all the time, and we trust in HIS plan for GCA! Our theme verse, Colossians 2:6-7 "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving"., is a perfect theme for us this school year. During this time of growth and in this unstable world we seek to be Rooted and Growing in Christ!


I am honored to serve as the Principal of Grace Christian Academy. It is truly a privilege to be a part of a community where parents, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and spiritual growth. I am extremely excited to welcome everyone back, Monday, August 14, 2023, and I look forward to what this year will bring.


Blessing in Christ,

Mrs. Heather Barber, Principal
