The Best isYet to Come

Palmetto Christian

Academy

S

ince 1992, Palmetto christian

Academy has been shaping the lives

of students through Christ-centered

learning. What started with a few families

trying to establish an ideal education

for their children has blossomed into

a school that is consistently voted “the

best” in Mount Pleasant.

One man who has played a vital role in PCA’s success

is Dr. John Graham. As a parent

invested in the school since its early

years, Graham has seen the progressive growth of the

institution and is spearheading a new project sure to add

another dimension to PCA’s

vibrant academic environment.

Plans for a brand new Student

Life Center are underway

and will soon mark another

milestone in PCA’s rich history.

“Our Student Life Center

will be a state-of-the-art, multi-

use facility. This will include

a full-sized gym for sports

events,” said Graham. “We will

have new classrooms dedicated

to science, technology,

engineering and mathematics

courses in one wing, with

another wing devoted to spiritual life classes and fellowship.

On our campus, we will have a refitted area for performing

arts and arts education.”

Whether students desire to shoot hoops with a winning

team or star in the school play, they now will have a new

home in which to do it. This exciting facilities expansion

corresponds with PCA’s 25th anniversary. As the school

honors those who have built a foundation of seeking

excellence in all things, the Student Life Center will serve

the next generation, building on a tradition of spiritual,

academic, athletic and artistic excellence.

“PCA is a covenant school, in that we assist Christian

parents in the education process,” said Graham. “Our family

joined the effort in 1995, just before our daughter started

kindergarten. She was a member of the inaugural PCA

graduating class in 2009 and has returned to PCA in order

to realize her dream of teaching.”

The fact that Graham’s daughter returned to work at

the very school she graduated from is a testament to PCA’s

tightknit community and its ultimate goal of helping future

generations achieve greatness. Built on lifelong learning and

unity, PCA strives to have a lasting impact that exceeds far

past a student’s graduation. Faculty members become true

mentors, instilling priceless wisdom and always providing an

attentive ear.

While spiritual development is a huge aspect of life

at PCA, the extracurricular activities and outstanding

academics are equally

important. Wanting to craft an

experience that caters to each

child individually, PCA offers

an array of sports and artistic

projects for students to pursue.

The Student Life Center

will no doubt spark more

engagement and bring about

new ways in which students

can express themselves and

reach their full potential.

“As our culture becomes

increasingly challenging

and relativism is the norm,

educational choice becomes critical,” said Graham.

“Our academics, athletics, fine arts programs and our

achievement scores are competitive.”

From humble beginnings with a modest enrollment

of 25 students to a now thriving population stretching

just beyond 600, PCA is proof that all things are possible

with faith.

“The Lord has surely shown favor on our school,” said

Graham. “We desire to honor Him as we continue to grow

our school to instruct our children and develop leaders for

the next generation.”
