Adminstrator's Report - Temple Christian School

What a great year we've had at Temple Christian School. We've made great strides in upgrading every aspect of the school - from our accreditation work, upgrading our technology, remodeling the facilities, and wonderful student accomplishments to making history with our football, baseball and softball teams.

Glory to God! Thanks to the hard work of many people, Temple Christian School is now Provisionally Accredited though the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. The FACCS evaluation team was very pleased with our school and provided the administration with goals to achieve full accreditation within two years. Thank you for your help and prayers in this process.

I am proud to report that 91% of our seniors have a 3.0 grade point average and 100% of our seniors plan to go to college. What a blessing!

"The teachers are so involved in helping you and getting to know you on a personal level."

Through a generous donation to Temple Christian, we significantly upgraded the technology of the school with brand new computers in our computer lab and a sophisticated, filtered internet connection.

We also got a donation of 6 new computers for the yearbook staff the led to the 1st Temple Christian yearbook created on-line. With the help of advisors Cheyrl Hallock, Faye Maynard, and Renee Hubert, the yearbook students created an outstanding edition. So outstanding in fact, it was inducted into the "Gallery of Excellence" of the Walsworth Publishing Company.

As you know, we were hit pretty hard by the Hurricanes. Over the summer of 2005, thanks to the help of Doug Barclay, Jon Ackin, Robert Shindo, Dennis McMurphy, and huge contributions from Tom Porter's PrimeTimers including Ray Thomure, Carl DeMoss, and Curtis Singleton, virtually every classroom and the entire school office was remodeled and updated. Thank you to the many great volunteers that helped get the school year off to an outstanding start!

We also are very grateful to Andy Bosch and his wife. They have taken on the task of painting the entire school.

We are extremely excited to announce that we are about to complete our 1st Library Media Center with the help of many donations from church members and parents. They gave willingly and thoughtfully gave volumes of books and their time to help Mrs. Price organize everything.

In the Arts, Temple Christian students put on what I believe to be their best production ever. The Academy of Arts production of "Adoniram Judson: Cost of Greatness" was an imposing task the was magnificently preformed the high school students. What a great learning experience it was as the students learned everything about staging a huge production from makeup, lighting, set decoration to acting and directing. And what a noble message the audience got from it! But I think the best thing to come from our annual Academy of Arts week is the devotions and testimony that the students participated in throughout the intense week-long production.

Speaking of our fine students, we took a survey of our graduates for the last two years and found that 90% are enrolled in a college with 57% having scholarships. And our current students are on there way to great futures ...

We had two young men, Michael Kuzma and Jacob Bundy, reach the State Spelling Bee Finals.

Our Servant's Heart Ensemble Choir was invited to Sea World to perform after the organizers heard their audition tape. This is a special invitation that only the best were accepted.

And Ben Schafer, a junior here at Temple Christian School, has earned National Merit Scholarship Finalist. This fine young man scored in the top 1% of the nation on the PSAT.

We have two Senior boys who have earned athletic scholarships this year. Andrew Salazar will be going to Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Watertown, Wisconsin on a football and baseball scholarship. And Bruce Whitehead will be attending North Greenville University in South Carolina on a baseball scholarship.

In our Athletic programs, we continue to get better and better. Our Volleyball team had a school record number of wins and qualified for the regional playoffs for the first time in school history.

Our Jr. High boys basketball team went undefeated in conference play and was invited to the NACA National Association of Christian Athletes Tournament in Tennessee. They made the Final Four of this prestigious tournament.

Our baseball team were the District Champions for the 3rd straight year and made it to the regional semifinals losing to the 2nd ranked team in the state in a very close game. They also had an unforgettable week just before the District playoffs. In a span of 4 days, our little 1A baseball team beat 4A schools Titusville High and Space Coast High and 3A powerhouse Melbourne Central Catholic.

And our softball team exceeded all expectations in winning their first ever District championship, then winning regional quarterfinal and semifinal games to go to the regional championship. They ended up just one win short of the State Tournament! What year for this fine group of young women.

Last but not least, our football team had a season that movies are made of. Having not won a game the previous year, our young men worked extremely hard through the summer on their conditioning and came into the season with outstanding, positive attitudes. After surviving a squeaker against Merritt Island Christian, these kids went on to a 12-0 season and won the Florida Christian Conference's Championship.

With the dedication of these young men, their willingness to work and play as a team, and with an enormous amount of help and guidance from the assistant coaches, I was honored to have earned Brevard County's Coach of the Year as voted by all the coaches in the county.

As you can see, God has been good to us and has given us His guidance to keep on improving every aspect of this Ministry. We look forward to have an even better year in 2006-2007 with His love and grace leading us.
