Gaston Christian East Cleveland Campus

Gaston Christian East Cleveland Campus NOW ENROLLING - Call (980)-484-3888 for more information on the new campus in Kings Mountain. Gaston Christian School, Inc.

was founded in 1979 by a group of seven pastors and Christian parents who sought to establish a school that emphasized academic excellence and spiritual growth in a God-honoring environment. Planning began in the school's first year, leading to its opening in 1980 with 105 students in grades K-9, hosted by Parkwood Baptist Church in Gastonia, NC. A preschool program for three- and four-year-olds w

as launched in 1985. In August 1991, an additional campus opened in the Belmont/Mount Holly area at Catawba Heights Baptist Church. By 1994, the school expanded to grade ten at the former Sacred Heart College, adding grades 11 and 12 in subsequent years to provide a complete college-preparatory program. The acquisition of 54 acres in March 1999 marked a significant growth phase, culminating in the construction of new facilities. In August 2006, all elementary students transitioned to a new building on the Lowell campus, followed by grades 6-12 in 2008. The Fine Arts Center was completed during the 2018-2019 school year, and a Student Life Center (central campus cafeteria) was completed during the 2022-2023 school year, which began serving lunches in August 2023. Gaston Christian School is governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, and several recognized organizations, including the North Central Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredit it. The school is also approved by the North Carolina Department of Non-Public Instruction. In January 2022, five pastors from Shelby churches met with the school administration to discuss the need for a Christian school in the Shelby area. Elizabeth Baptist Church agreed to host the Shelby Campus, which opened on August 11, 2022, for preschool through fourth grade. In December 2023, Gaston Christian School purchased the former Central School in Kings Mountain, commencing renovations in January 2024. Classes began in the new location on August 13, 2024. Today, Gaston Christian School (with campuses in Gastonia and Kings Mountain) serves over 1,300 students from PK4 to grade 12.

Dear Gaston Christian School Families and Staff,

The Gaston Christian School Theatre Alumni are excited to invite you to a very special evening celebrating someone who has made an incredible impact on generations of students.
This one-night-only performance, Brack in Time, was created entirely by our alumni to honor their beloved drama teacher, Mrs. Brack, as she courageously battles cancer. Rather than performing an existing show, our alumni chose to write an original production from the ground up. The script is a creative, heartfelt journey that playfully weaves together memorable moments inspired by many of the productions that have graced the Gaston Christian stage over the past 6 years.
This performance is a tribute to the countless hours, encouragement, creativity, and love that Mrs. Brack has poured into her students. It is also a testament to the creativity she inspired in them, as they came together to write, produce, and perform this unique show themselves.
Admission is completely free, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We hope you will join us as we celebrate Mrs. Brack, reconnect with beloved theatrical memories, and witness the lasting impact one extraordinary teacher can have on the lives of her students.

Brack in Time

Whether you have shared the stage with Mrs. Brack, watched your child grow under her direction, or simply want to support a remarkable teacher, we would love for you to be part of this unforgettable evening.
We look forward to seeing you there!
