Founding board member Wes Yoder spoke on this honor for the school:
“I am so excited to participate in the celebration of the Cum Laude Society coming to
Christ Presbyterian Academy. When we dreamt up this place, we didn’t imagine a
limit to its potential. The first year we opened, we had as many students as we now
have faculty members. And now we have reached new heights of academic excellence
in transforming young minds and hearts through education.”
