Dear TCA Family,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide an update following Dr. Newby's recent announcement of retirement as our Head of School. 

Dr. Newby's decision to retire marks the end of an era for our school. After more than six years of dedicated service to Trinity Christian Academy (TCA), and close to 50 years in education, Dr. Newby leaves behind a remarkable legacy. His leadership has brought us record enrollment, the opening of a beautiful athletic facility, new safety measures, a campus wide spiritual awakening and Teaching for Transformation for our faculty.  

As we navigate this transition, I want to share that the School Board has enlisted the expertise of the renowned, Christian search firm Vanderbloemen Search Group to help us find our next Head of School. Vanderbloemen specializes in Christian leadership placement, with extensive experience in Christian schools. We are confident that this partnership will guide us to a leader who will continue Dr. Newby's and TCA’s commitment to excellence. 

During this process, we will keep you informed about the search via a landing page on the school’s website. The search profile being created by Vanderbloemen will be available on the landing page for you to view and share via your networks. Also, keep an eye out for an upcoming opportunity to add your input through a Family Survey. Your insights are invaluable as we search for a leader who will uphold our school's mission, vision, and core values. 

Please join us in celebrating Dr. Newby's remarkable career and contributions to our school. We will plan to honor his time at TCA and his commitment to Christian education in the spring. Look for more details on how you can be a part of this celebration. 

Finally, please join the School Board in praying for our next Head of School; specifically, please join us in praying for: 

• God’s continued direction and timing in the search process; 
• Preparation of the hearts of our students, families, faculty, and staff during the search process; 
• Preparation of the heart of the next Head of School and his/her family; and
• That the School Board would seek the Lord continuously throughout the search process. 

We appreciate your ongoing support and dedication to Trinity Christian Academy.
