Callie McElroy – LCA alumna, class of 2021 — is gearing up for another school year to begin. This year, though, she is serving in a different role besides being a student. Callie is entering her first year as a third-grade educator at Auburn Elementary School in the Barrow County School System.

More Loganville Christian Academy (LCA) students are enrolling in Advanced Placement (AP) courses than ever before. Not only are they accepting the academic challenges that such courses present, but they are excelling in various ways. 

At 6 years old, Megan Bossert vividly remembers sitting down with colorful cardstock-type paper to make a notebook. Its primary function was to hold the makings of Megan’s new, original language. Megan said, “I would make up a word and I would say, ‘equals house.’”

Mrs. Vicki Stoesen did not have to look far for the last author visit of the 2024-25 school year. Kendra Collier, a graduating senior, shared her first published book on Tuesday, May 6 to our kindergarten and first grade students.

Kendra’s book — titled, “Amber’s Equestrian Alphabet” — served as her senior project.

AJ Williams (LCA Class of 2013) was born during church, quite literally. At 10:31 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 1, 1995, AJ entered this world — six to seven days late no less — and began his journey. 

A stellar program we offer here on the Pridelands is Teaching As A Profession (TAP). It provides students opportunities to explore teaching and the intricacies of the profession.

Loganville Christian Academy’s Upper School will have a new leader at the helm in the 2025-26 school year. The Lions are excited to announce that Oj Soto will assume the role of Upper School Principal. 

Loganville Christian Academy’s athletic department will have a change in leadership effective immediately. Heather Watkins is now serving as the department’s interim athletic director, head of school Rachel Ernst announced last week.

Four juniors on our campus are like local celebrities to our Lower School students. Abbie Kraft, Ann Taylor, Laine Bullington, and London Edmunds serve as the Lower School (LS) Chapel leaders throughout this school year. 

Though they have yet to be asked for an autograph, these four juniors do a lot in their roles to pour into the generation coming up behind them. But, as much as the LS students enjoy what the juniors do for them, it is not a one-way street. 

April 2025 started on a high note for one of Loganville Christian Academy’s (LCA) graduating seniors.

Emma Masterson was named a 2025 Georgia Scholar, State School superintendent Richard Woods announced on April 1. Masterson is one of just 145 students statewide to receive this distinction. 

As far back as John Heart (LCA Class of 2016) can remember, he has been an avid dog lover. He has been around dogs throughout his life and, today, that remains the same. John finds himself around his favorite pets at home, but there’s a special one he takes with him to work every day. 

For the past year, students all across Walton County have been hard at work to help improve the local area in various ways. 

All of their efforts are as members of the Walton Youth Advocacy Board (WYAB), which is composed of students from public and private schools.

Loganville Christian Academy is the second-most represented school on this board with seven students: Bradyn Bramlett, Ella Masterson, Helena Meier, Savanna Cowart, TJ Lockett, Rowan Corrente, and Addison Gurcules. Addie Godfrey previously served, which tied LCA with Monroe Area High School for the most students from one school. 

On Monday, March 3, dozens gathered on Loganville Christian Academy’s (LCA) campus for a special occasion.

Heidi Glenn had some unexpected visitors in her classroom on Thursday, Feb. 6.

The grant totals $9,652.
