Director's Message
Dear Patriot Families,
What a fantastic month of September it has been! We have much to celebrate as a school community, including the success of Patriot Day and See You at the Pole.
Patriot Day was a powerful reminder of the values we hold dear—honor, service, and community. Students came together to reflect on what it means to be a Patriot, and the day was filled with activities that helped us grow stronger as a school family.
See You at the Pole was another wonderful moment, as students, staff, and families gathered around the flagpole to pray and offer encouragement. It was inspiring to see so many come together to lift up our community in unity and faith.
We are also incredibly proud of our volleyball team, which made history this month with our first-ever volleyball matches hosted on our campus! Congratulations to our athletes and coaches, Coach Myers and Coach Trask, for their hard work and dedication. We look forward to the exciting season ahead and continued support from our Patriot fans.
As we move into October, we are mindful of the recent events surrounding Hurricane Helene and the impact it has had on our neighbors in Western North Carolina. Our hearts go out to all those affected, and we want to do our part to support the recovery efforts. We would like to support First Baptist Church of Boiling Springs, SC to provide ongoing donations. If you would like to contribute, we are collecting essential items such as blankets, sleeping bags, beanies, hand warmers, and gloves. We encourage you to send items in with your child!
Let’s continue making this year one to remember as we work together to develop the next generation of American citizens.
Go Patriots!
