"I attended Western Christian High School in the mid 60's. I can specifically point to the education I received there as a pivotal point in my life. The nurturing experience (academically, athletically and spiritually) changed my life and contributed to my success. To this day, I look back with a fondness for Western Christian, its faculty and what it stands for. In this time of "diminished education" from public schools, I believe it develops students more academically and personally."
