To that end, links have been provided below so that the Handbooks may be available for your continued review. Should you need to seek out clarification regarding the content of these Handbooks, please reach out to the Principal.

Prayer Request
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. James 5:13-15 Please let us know how the Principal and Prayer Team can pray for you! Please click on the prayer form below.
