Testimonials - Temple Christian School

Hannah Maynard,

"God really used this Temple Christian in a great way for my life. I had been attending a public high school for the first two years of my high school career when I decided to transfer to Temple. I believe this was one of the best decisions of my life. The teachers are so involved in helping you and getting to know you on a personal level. You're not just another student in the classroom.

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

The school taught me so much on a spiritual level as well, having a Bible class each morning and going to Chapel once a week was such a spiritual uplifting. That is something you will never get in a public school.

I was a major athlete at my public high school so when I transferred to Temple that was one of my major concerns. I was worried about the lack of competition, lack of coaching abilities, and the lack of opportunity that I would receive by going to a smaller school. But I was proven wrong, Temple gave me everything I was looking for.

Upon graduating I was offered a full volleyball scholarship, I also was a recipient of the Bright Futures Scholarship and was nominated for the Wendy's Heisman Award.

I am telling you these things not to brag about myself but to let you know of the opportunities you could have if you decided to attend Temple."

"I remember when I first moved to Florida, I only had 9 weeks left of my 8^th grade year and my parents put me into the closest public middle school to our house which was Madison Middle School.

That summer I prayed almost every day to the Lord that I could go to a Christian school. I pleaded with Him and told Him I needed Christian friends. The Lord answered my prayer. I started Temple Christian in the fall of my freshman year.

"It was at Temple Christian that I grew to really love the Lord and my faith in Him deepened tremendously."

The thing that meant the most to me at Temple Christian was the support system the Lord blessed me with. I believe that really helped mold me into the person that I am today. I felt overwhelmingly blessed at times to have Godly models, and God-loving friends. I mean this with all my heart. It was at Temple Christian that I grew to really love the Lord and my faith in Him deepened tremendously.

Even now, in hard times I can still cling to those life changing moments that I experienced and also several years later, I still have a great support system to fall back on."

I graduated from Tennessee Temple University last May with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration on Women’s ministry. The Lord showed me at college what He wanted me to do and gave me the passionate desire to work in women’s ministry. I also have a deep burden for girls that have been emotionally, physically, and/or sexually abused. Therefore, my future goal is to go on and get my masters degree in Counseling.

Last June I married Brian Bond. His desire is to also serve in the ministry so we are working toward the finances to allow us to go back to school, so that we can earn our masters together and to serve the Lord together as a team, and as a family.

"I thank God for the Correll family that they had

the foresight to begin such a ministry as Temple Christian School. Going to a Christian high school allowed me to surround myself with good Christian friends and ultimately made it easier for me to follow God’s will for my life.

I learned so much about the Bible and different biblical principals that I apply to my life still today. I really appreciated the education that I had the privilege of obtaining by going to a Christian school. Not only did I get to learn about our forefathers and how this country was built by God’s hand, I also learned about the many historical figures in the Christian faith.

"Being surrounded by godly teachers that actually love you & want the Lord’s will for your life, is an irreplaceable token that I will forever cherish!"

Looking back I can see that my four years at Temple Christian School have helped shape me into the person I am today.

Temple Christian's staff is extremely dedicated, both inside and outside of the classroom, and are willing to help their students with any matter. They touched me in so many areas of my life, not just academically. Friends I made at TCS were not only students, but teachers. Temple's staff seems overqualified at times as they met and exceeded my needs.

The Bible classes and the chapel messages spurred me on spiritually, and at times were exactly what I needed to get me through troubling situations.

Class of 1999

I began my eighth grade year at Temple in 1994 and graduated in 1999 as the Salutatorian of my class. I played volleyball and was captain of the team my senior year. One course that was offered then that I loved was Auto Shop. I took that class three years in a row. Temple was much smaller then but the teachers were very involved in our lives, and dedicated to our learning and spiritual development. They truly showed Christ's love for us.

"... the teachers were very involved in our lives,

and dedicated to our learning and spiritual development.

They truly showed Christ's love for us."

It's that environment that has brought me back to Temple Christian School. I am teaching Empowerment and coaching Junior high Volleyball while finishing my degree in Education. I married my high-school sweetheart, Brian, who was Temple's first graduate. Together we have a two-year old daughter. I love Temple and all that it stands for. I am so proud to say I work here!
