He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

From our Head of School
Dear Prince Families,

During this special day of promise, I was reminded from the pulpit that we sometimes make the message of salvation more complicated than Jesus would want for us (Matthew 11:25). In this gospel, Jesus references the importance of taking a childlike approach, regardless of age, in accepting the gift of life eternal by grace through faith. 
 
Students often feel the full weight of the academic yoke during these closing weeks of school as they push themselves to do their best with the gifts they’ve been given. The culture and positive peer pressure at PACS encourage this “iron sharpens iron” approach towards academics; however, while doing so, let’s ensure we remind students that amidst all of life’s pressures there is safety, comfort, and peace in calling Jesus master. Happy Easter, Prince families. 

Sincerely,
Col Seth Hathaway, Ed.D.
