HC Alumni News
What a year it has been so far! As we were kicking off Houston Christian’s 20 th  year celebrations, Hurricane Harvey rolled into town and adjusted many of our plans. While our campus wasn’t flooded, unfortunately we had many faculty, staff and families who were. We know that there were many assistance-giving initiatives, and we would like to recognize one specific alumni effort to help our beloved teacher, Pam McClendon, recover from the storm. Independently, but as a strong group, alumni from the class of 2016 set up an online campaign to benefit Ms. McClendon, whose house flooded in the storm. The outpouring of support and online comments that each donor made as they contributed, show the genuine love, care and compassion that the students feel for this teacher, mentor and friend. This is the wonderful spirit of our alumni! To see the creative way that alumni used to deliver the funds to Ms. McClendon, click here .
 
It was a great Homecoming weekend! At Houston Christian we strive to make Homecoming memorable and the 20 th  year was even more festive! With food trucks, lively activities, light bites and a video of memory-inducing alumni photos (remember the Glamour Shots in the early 90’s?) in the Alumni Room and fabulous weather, it was a great evening! On Saturday night, current students embraced the 20 th  year theme and the Homecoming Dance theme was the "Roaring Twenties"! We are sure that party produced many fun memories that will be the highlight of their alumni events in years to come. Unfortunately, the annual Mustang Classic Golf Tournament that usually accompanies the weekend events was cancelled due to Harvey. We hope that you will all join us at next year’s Mustang Classic, which will be back and better than ever in 2018!
 
We loved seeing so many Mustangs back on campus and in the stands! Houston Christian wants to thank all of the alumni representatives from Northwest Academy and Houston Christian who helped plan their reunion events and activities. We hope to see more classes meeting up throughout the year and we can't wait to have you back on campus again soon!

Mustang Story

Sarah Shudde Elliott '05
Attending Houston Christian High School was one of the best decisions I ever made. My four years at HC were filled with leadership development, challenging academics, creative opportunities, Biblical truth, and spiritual growth.

I knew I always wanted to go into the education field, but through very personalized college guidance meetings - I was able to find the university and program that was the perfect fit for me. I felt very prepared for college academically, but also had acquired leadership skills that allowed me to flourish in many extracurricular and philanthropic organizations.

After graduating with honors, I received my masters degree in education while working as a full-time special education teacher. I have received numerous honors and awards in the education field, but I say this not to "toot my own horn" but to give God the glory for allowing me to attend such a magnificent high school that molded and shaped my work ethic, character, and allowed me to discover my God-given gifts to use them to bless people. 

Sarah hopes to see you in Austin on Thursday, November 9 at Blue Mesa Grill in Ft. Worth!
