Almost everyone in the LCA family has been touched in some way by Martha Caulk, the Lodge receptionist . . . and the basketball gatekeeper. Below are just a few staff testimonials that circled recently, which are representative of what every staff member could say about her. At LCA we believe that God is writing every story and that everyone’s story is significant.

Alumna Feature: Caroline Briggs, IT at GGC
After changing my major a couple times, I am now doing Information Technology with a concentration in Systems and Security. I chose this major after attending a Women in Technology Boot Camp at GGC. I immediately fell in love with programming and IT! I applied to be a Student Ambassador and went through an interview process and was selected. Applying to be an ambassador is one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made!
Boys Basketball about More Than Winning
Congratulations to all of the boys varsity players as they continue to the state championship bracket. We are so proud of you! And at LCA, sports are about more than winning and losing.

Pre-K Students Enjoy STEM
Recently, our pre-K class has been using a STEM lab to create bubbles using soap and air, they have learned about color and water adhesion using a “jumping rainbows” activity, and they have used basic ingredients to create a snow storm. LCA is excited to be able to introduce STEM as early as Pre-K and build on that through high school.

Seniors Take YouScience Aptitude Tests
Each year the seniors complete a Game of Life project where they are taught in economics to compile a year-long budget while looking at careers, paychecks, taxes, mortgages, car loans, etc. The project focuses on the practical side of life so that LCA graduates can be well-equipped to navigate their lives post high school. This year, the first piece of the project was an extensive career search using YouScience aptitude tests.

They are a husband/wife team of an author (Kenneth) and illustrator (Sarah Jane) who read their latest release Lola Dutch When I Grow Up to the students.
2019 Exciting Updates
Dual Enrollment Shortens College
The dual enrollment program at Loganville Christian Academy enables high school students to participate in dual enrollment classes with Truett-McConnell College. This pursuit of postsecondary coursework allows students to receive dual high school and college credit in the areas of College Algebra, American Literature, American Government, and English Composition. LCA students are able to graduate with up to thirty-six hours of college credit.
Navigating Failure with Adolescents
As someone who works and lives with middle schoolers, I spend a lot of time observing kids as they make the difficult transition from child to teen. One adolescent milestone is an increased focus on how they are perceived by their peers, which leads to new learning opportunities and challenges. This intense social awareness can cause kids to avoid experiences in which they might not succeed, but failure is vital to the learning process.
Merry Christmas!
Christmastime is a season of giving. Family and friends spend hours searching for the perfect gifts, wrapping them beautifully, and awaiting the joy on recipients’ faces. From secular celebrations to church services, giving is at the heart of Christmas. And no one gives more wondrously, sacrificially, and lovingly than God Himself.
US Theatre Receives Honors
Alumna Feature: Jordan Willett
When I graduated from LCA in 2015, I had no idea what I wanted to do and what I hoped to accomplish throughout my collegiate career. In the midst of applying to several different undergraduate programs, I stumbled across Belmont University. After visiting a few times and applying to Belmont, I felt the Lord calling me to take a leap of faith and move to Nashville.
