We love our seniors!

And to celebrate some of these soon-to-be graduates, throughout the rest of the year we'll be highlighting a graduating class that has embodied our Portrait of a Graduate as they've gone above and beyond in their leadership, character, and in their devotion to Christ.

The Portrait of a Graduate:

  • Spirit-Driven Leaders: Leaders of integrity who seek opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus to others.
  • Impactful Innovators: Students observant of complex needs in a changing world, asking questions, collaborating, and designing innovative solutions.
  • Critical Thinkers: Students who think critically, ask questions, and pursue intellectual curiosity that sparks innovative ideas.
  • Kingdom Community Builders: Students rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, building a community that reflects the Kingdom of God in word and action.
  • Courageous Change Agents: Students grounded in God's Word, speaking truth with courage and love, and making a difference in their school, community, and world.
  • Compassionate Problem Solvers: Students see others through the eyes of Christ, bringing people-focused solutions rooted in kindness, compassion, and Christ-like truth.

‍

From soccer stars to Student Council leaders, the Class of 2027 has contributed so much to this community and will leave a lasting impact on Maranatha Christian Academy that will be felt for decades to come.

You'll also get to hear from the seniors themselves on what Maranatha has meant to them and what some of their favorite moments and memories have been!

Keep your eyes peeled for the first upcoming Senior Spotlight, featuring MCA's very own soccer captain and record-setting goalie, Kate Wahl!
