From the Board of Trustees
F
ollowing the outstanding leadership of past Chair
Matt King and with an outstanding Board of Trustees,
my first year as Chair proved to be incredibly rewarding
seeing the progress made and the lives impacted by
our Academy. We sadly lost two of our key leaders from the
Board over the past year, Al Manuel and Gary Scudder. We are
so grateful for their contributions and support of this ministry.
From a leadership standpoint, I believe we have the
strongest administrators and educators as we ever have, led so
capably by Head of School Nate Morrow along with Associate
Head of School – Education Dr. Marcia Sutton, Associate
Head of School–Advancement Drew Maddux, and Associate
Head of School–Operations Matt Moore.
This past year, Nate and his leadership team along with the
Board of Trustees set forth a vision for what our Academy
would need to fulfill its mission for the future. Part of that
was in changes and additions to our grounds and facilities,
where a much needed performing arts complex will be built,
along with a reshaping of the campus to allow for students a
central place on campus to congregate. With the Academy
starting from a foundation of no debt on the facilities, Nate
has presented CPA families the opportunity to invest in our

future and so far, there has been over $12.5 million in gifts
and pledges raised on our way to a goal of $18 million!
This year, we also placed an emphasis on what the “portrait
of a CPA graduate” is. As a CPA graduate, he or she is to be
deeply and happily rooted in a local church, dedicated to
developing skills for the future, giving special attention to
those less fortunate, and preparing to converse and espouse
the faith with other believers, seekers, and skeptics. I see
daily examples of such attributes in the current lives of our
students, which is so encouraging.

The fruits of all the efforts of our teachers, administrators,
and parents are seen through the recognition in our
community of the accomplishments and the positive impact
made by our students. We feel so blessed to be a part of God’s
work in the growth and development of the Academy. Jason Hubbard
We have growing challenges from the rapidly changing
culture that keep us sharply focused on our critical mission.
We ask for your continued involvement and support as we
step forward in faith to build future leaders. It is our prayer
that these future leaders will be called upon to nourish this
community and to further God’s kingdom. Thank you for
your partnership and support in this mission. Susan Patton
