From Our Head of School

Dear Prince Families: The new protocols and procedures put in place to promote the safety of our students, faculty, and staff are becoming more ingrained in our daily routines, and we are remaining focused on the four pillars of our mission statement to ensure managing the pandemic does NOT become our mission. Since Georgia remains fifth in the nation in infections, we will continue with Safety Level III for our second week of school; safety will remain our number one priority. But while our mouths and noses are covered to “manage” this illness, our eyes remain unobstructed looking forward to the future and what will eventually be an end to this “temporary” normal. This morning I was reminded of God’s goodness as we sang, “…He has made giants fall…and He will be faithful now.” PLEASE vote for our school to be recognized as the “Best of the Best” in Athens by accessing the link in this Wolverine Weekly! We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for the start of week two! With warm regards and in His service,

Chaplain's Corner

Dear Parents,   It was so good to be back on campus this week with our students. While I am thankful for our technological capacities as a school that helped us through the end of last school year, it has brought a lot of joy to the school to have everyone back in community together! I found myself reading Psalm 133:1 that says, "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity" and being overwhelmed with how good God has been to us this week. I am so thankful for the opportunity to invest in your students, and I am praying that the Lord continues to bless our year together!
