The Eagle Center is far more than just a gymnasium. It is the place where we gather for our weekly chapel program; it’s where we worship together, pray together, explore God’s word together, fellowshipping as brothers and sisters in Christ. There is no better way to start each week than in The Eagle Center on Monday mornings, singing and celebrating our common bond as the people of God. But it is also the place where we hold community events, awards banquets, auctions, trivia nights, Christmas parties, and prayer breakfasts. It is where we have joined together to celebrate milestones, such as the First Lady of Virginia speaking at our building dedication and our inaugural commencement honoring our school’s first sixteen graduates. The Eagle Center is where every member of this community, at one point or another, has gathered to celebrate the faithfulness of God.
We have committed to doing a better job when it comes to communicating with our school community. This commitment to improvement encompasses every aspect of our program, from general information coming out of the School Office, to the very specific communication that teachers provide on class assignments and student progress. We have made this commitment in part because of the feedback we have received from parents. As a school that partners with parents, it is critical that we improve in these areas. Our community has spoken, and we are listening.
Count Your Blessings: In just three year’s time, Evergreen Christian School has accomplished quite a bit. We have gone from 36 students enrolled in 2021 to over 170 students in 2024. While our first graduating class was comprised of only 16 seniors, we saw the class of 2024 bring in more than one million dollars in scholarship offers from some of the most prestigious universities in our country. This year we will graduate 40 seniors, and the following year over 50. This past April, the Middle States Association granted ECS full accreditation through 2032. Our very first year as a school we offered 21 different classes; this year we offer 75 different courses from which our students can select. As the old hymn appropriately reminds us, “Count your blessings, name them one by one; count your blessings, see what God hath done."
Governor Youngkin commended Evergreen for providing the kind of education where students are challenged to apply their faith to contemporary issues facing our world today. He concluded his message to graduates with this charge: “Go out into the world with what you have been given. Go out into the world and be confident. Go out in the world and stand strong in your faith. Go out into the world with hope in the Lord and do not worry. You will soar!”
ECS has been granted full accreditation from Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) without stipulations (meaning there were no changes needing to be made before taking effect), and extends through the year 2031.
