Meet Lilly!
I will forever remember the time I have spent at Campion Academy. I praise the Lord for every blessing He has given me all four years. He has blessed me with wonderful friends, beautiful nature, and unforgettable memories. My favorite memories are all the outdoor activities including; ski trips, outdoor school, backpacking, dorm retreats, and many fire drills. Every single one of these moments has not only been fun, relaxing, and unique but also has enlightened me that God has a plan and His plan is good. As it says in Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” My future plans are to go to college at Southern Adventist University. I haven’t decided what to major in but I know that it’ll be something super cool and I’m in God’s hands!”

Meet Izuchi!
“I am a senior at Campion Academy and it has been such a blessing to be able to be here all four years. I came when I was thirteen as a freshman. I was scared as it was the first time being away from home for this long, but I soon came to enjoy it. Being able to make new friends and live with them like siblings, along with my own brother, gave me a sense of closeness with other Christians like me that I will cherish for life.

Furthermore, the extracurricular activities I participated in—like drama and music—helped me discover strengths I never knew I had and gave me the chance to develop them. Being involved in sports, traveling to tournaments, and competing on a team for the first time taught me work ethic and patience. Through all the busyness, I also learned how much of a blessing my home and parents are, as well as the beauty of the Sabbath and a loving Creator—how everything can pause for one day so I can abide with Him. Even with the ups and downs, my time here has helped me grow in ways I never imagined, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. I plan to attend Andrews University in the fall and major in nursing.”

Meet Luca!
“I am an international student from China, and I have stayed at Campion for all four years. When I first arrived here, I was unfamiliar with the language and the environment, and I wasn’t really into Christianity. I am very grateful to my friends and the staff members who made all that change for me.
Throughout the four years, I had a lot of experiences and good memories: class parties, sports, outdoor activities, publications, music festivals…etc. One of my favorite things about Campion is the dorm life. We bond together in the dormitory like a family. My biggest growth through high school has been my spiritual journey that led me to meet Jesus. As a result, I’ve decided to go to an Adventist College to continue my journey. I will be attending Southern Adventist University and hopefully I can bring light to more people in the future.”

Meet Pam!
“As a four-year student at Campion Academy, one of my favorite memories is when I would stay up late with a few of my closest friends. We would cook food, talk about our lives, watch movies, and so much more. At some point we would get so loud that the dean would hear from her home and come and tell us to “Be quiet and go to sleep!” We would hide and start laughing.
I plan on continuing my education at Garden City Community College in my hometown, and then transfer to a university so I can become a forensic pathologist, aka a medical examiner.”

Meet Angel!
“I am a four-year student at Campion Academy. The first time I came to Campion I was nervous and scared. I was nervous because it was a new school and different people. My favorite memory in school was Senior Survival. We were hiking, and then suddenly it started to rain and even started to hail. It was a fun memory. Campion helped me grow and learn new things that I did not know before. I don’t know what plans I have after graduation, but I know that God will always help me.”
