Business + Entrepreneurship students visiting Oracle headquarters in Austin , Tx ., Law + Advocacy students laying on the floor of the Capitol rotunda at night , Inquiry + Design students speaking with doctors on the forefront of sickle cell cure research , Visual Media + Publication students presenting strategy to hundreds of student journalists , Production + Performance students exploring faith and art from renowned professionals – learning characterized by a much truer why than simply life beyond CPA . It is for Kingdom Restoration that we go , learn , ask , do , fail , love , forgive , struggle , restore .
Lewis believed that the weight or burden of glory realizes “ a brightness or luminosity in the bodies of the saved ”. How fitting for Lumen Hall to see students in their last four years of learning at CPA . Let ’ s take time to recognize the light in our students , families , faculty , and staff all across campus this year . As we engage the unique design of each student , let ’ s remember we share this weight , the light , the glimmers of restoration happening now , and we will share in their eternal fullness !
In just one year as the Chair of the Board of Trustees , I saw a leadership team at the Academy that tirelessly and steadfastly works to further the Academy ’ s mission with great character , integrity , honor , truth and the desire for the light and the saving grace of Jesus Christ to be spread through the Academy and beyond . The way in which they lead can only be explained by His grace . Will you join me in thanking them ?
Many of you often ask what you can do to help support the Academy . You can volunteer your time and talents through Parent Connect and continue to create
belonging in the CPA community . You can support The CPA Fund or the Unseen Stories Campaign . These things are important . But the most important thing you can do for the Academy is pray to the One who saves . The Academy and its leaders covet your prayers ! Accordingly , I invite you to pray that the leadership at the Academy would remain steadfast and , in doing so , that the leadership and teachers would feel Christ ’ s love through our support , that the Academy would fulfill its mission and remain under the protection , love , grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .
Soli Deo Gloria ,
Kevin M . Howard Chair , CPA Board of Trustees
