Grand Rapids Christian High School Principal's Corner
High School Principal's Corner — May 9, 2023
Celebrating our Staff!
This week is “teacher appreciation week” when we intentionally highlight the amazing work of our faculty and staff. I celebrate our staff as a proud principal, but also as a grateful parent. As a parent of a senior, my family has been intentionally reflecting on the impact that so many individuals have had on my daughter. We’ve had numerous dinner conversations recently about so many teachers who helped prepare her to go out into the world as a disciple of Christ.
Our faculty and staff are dedicated to student learning and work tirelessly to produce curiosity and exploration of God’s world in our students. They teach with a humility that acknowledges that they always have room to learn and grow. They care for and lean on one another, modeling for students what it means to be a thoughtful neighbor and to work collaboratively. They embrace the complexities of leading and teaching in today’s world and work alongside students to seek justice and to solve problems. Most importantly, our staff is Christ-centered, desiring more than anything that our students grow in discipleship. During a time when anxiety and fear are higher than ever, they model a peace that can only come from Christ.
Thank you for all the gifts and kind words that you have already sent. If you would still like to send a word of encouragement or a financial contribution towards making this a special time for faculty and staff, you can do that here.
Thank you for your partnership and prayers as we finish up the school year. We are so grateful for you!
