WHO ARE WE AT OUR CORE?
We are a school and community of Christ followers united by and committed to our mission to be an extension of
the Christian home in helping each child develop in mind, body, and spirit. In this context, we are not a replacement
for the home or the church. Our ultimate goal is to equip and prepare well-educated, mature Christian men and
women to best fulfill Gods calling in their lives. We stand upon and are inspired by five core values which represent
the heart and soul of FHCS. First and foremost, we operate from a Biblical, Christ-centered foundation in all that
we do. We are rigorously academic we place tremendous value on the quality of education we offer. Accordingly,
we are proud of and grateful for our exceptional faculty who serve as strong and faithful educators for our
students every day. We are fully committed to discipleship and Christ-centered mentorship as we realize
learning through long-standing relationships with positive role models is critical to ongoing growth and maturity.
Finally, we are independent and non-denominational, operating with complete institutional freedom as we strive
to follow and honor the Lord alone.
WHERE ARE WE GOING AS A SCHOOL?
Numerous parents, teachers, administrators, Board members, students, and community supporters have faithfully
and consistently gone before the Lord in prayer for several years seeking the Lords guidance for our school. Over
the few years, these FHCS prayer warriors have been inspired by the Lord to pursue a bold growth plan, called
Vision 2030. We believe the Lord has called us to prepare to serve 300 students by 2030 by pursuing advancements
in several key areas including Staff Development, an enhanced Student Experience, Marketing, Facilities
Improvement, and Long-term Investment. Vision 2030 is big and bold. And, so is the Lord. We are completely
trusting Him. And, we fully expect this vision from the Lord to be fully realized. Within Vision 2030, there is a
tremendous amount of margin available for new and different priorities, strategies, and ideas.
