“We started off the season by losing our first 3 games,” Athletic Director Jim Good says, “but each game we were improving and still trying to establish our identity. The boys are really starting to buy into the system, and it all came together in that championship game. By far, our best win of the season! The Knights have now won 4 games in a row and improve to 4-3 on the season.”

Boys Varsity Basketball Wins Holiday Classic on Saturday

Highlands Christian Academy has the same Christ-centered values as we do in our home…and has been a huge blessing to us through the parenting process.

HCA has a great environment and amazing teachers that will try their hardest to work with you and help you learn.

I love that my children get a top-notch education that mirrors what my husband and I are teaching them at home.

HCA is a place where the teachers love you. They push you to your limit, and you'll be forever grateful for that.

HCA is God-centered. I couldn't have raised my children the way I wanted to without the help of HCA.

The children are taught to have Christ at the center of everything they do.
