During Secondary Chapel, we had the privilege of hearing from GCA alumnus and Class of 1988 graduate Mike Hatfield, who shared a powerful message on forgiveness and looking for opportunities to encourage people around us.

Hey GCA Alumni!

We’ve got something really special coming up!

We’re sitting down for a rare, interview-style Q&A with GCA Founders — Gary Coleman and John McCartt — and we want YOUR questions!

Have you ever wondered…
• Did they almost not open the school?
• What was the hardest part of launching GCA?
• Do they have a favorite graduating class? (Or the most challenging one?)
• Were there any funny stories from those early years?
• Who was the class clown they still talk about?
• What were their dreams for GCA back then — and did it turn out the way they hoped?
• If they could go back and give themselves advice in 1972, what would they say?

This is your chance to get the behind-the-scenes stories you’ve never heard.

Drop your questions below in the comments !

We’ll be choosing from YOUR submissions for the big interview.

Let’s make this one to remember — and maybe find out who all was involved in the bowling ball incident!

Senior Spotlight: Maddy Harrington
Class of 2025 | GCA
We are proud to celebrate Maddy Harrington!
After graduation, she plans to attend Pensacola Christian College to study Secondary Math Education.
Favorite High School Memory:
”Having the opportunity to sing on the Praise Team alongside my friends. Those moments will always hold a special place in my heart.”
Favorite Bible Verse:
”For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” – Galatians 1:10
Maddy, we are excited to see how God continues to lead you into the next chapter. We are so proud of you — your faith, your growth, and your future. Go shine His light wherever you go!
