🌅 A BEAUTIFUL START TO THEIR LAST FIRST DAY! 🌅

​Yesterday morning at 6:30 AM, our graduating seniors gathered together to kick off their final year at MCA with the beloved Senior Sunrise breakfast tradition!

​There is something incredibly special about watching the sun come up on your very last first day of high school. Our seniors shared a great meal, enjoyed some fellowship, and took a moment to make a few memories before the school year officially went into full swing.

​We are so incredibly proud of this group and cannot wait to see all the great things God does through them this year. Please join us in praying for our senior class as they embark on this final chapter at the Castle! 🎓🏰

🕺 DANCE OR WE GIVE THEM BACK! 💃

​Drop-off on the first day of school is always memorable, but Mrs. Boothe and our teachers decided to up the stakes this morning with a little surprise!

​The rule at the drop-off line was simple: give us your best dance moves for the camera, or you have to take your kids back home with you! 😂

​You all absolutely did not disappoint. Check out this 90 seconds of pure gold as our amazing Knight parents boogied down to celebrate the start of the new school year. Thank you to everyone who was such a great sport and helped us kick off the first day with so much joy and laughter!

​We love our MCA family! 🦅🏰

🍎 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY! 🍎

As our teachers and staff wrapped up their final day of training and classroom setup before the big first day tomorrow, they were treated to an incredible surprise!

We want to send a massive THANK YOU to First Community Bank for graciously providing lunch for our entire team today. Fueling our teachers as they prepare to welcome back our students means the world to us, and it was the perfect way to cap off our in-service days!

An extra shoutout to Market Over Yonder for the absolutely delicious food. (And by the way... there was A LOT more food than what is pictured! 😂 Our hardworking staff was very quick to demolish this much-appreciated gift!)

We are so blessed by the continued generosity and support of our amazing local businesses!

Our team is fueled up, prepared, and officially ready for tomorrow morning. See you at 8:00 AM, Knights! 🦅🏰

We are officially back in action! 🍎 Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day for our teachers as they prepped their classrooms, organized supplies, and got everything ready for an amazing school year.

🏀 MEET YOUR VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL COACHES! 🏀

We are extremely blessed and excited to officially introduce our Varsity Boys Basketball coaching staff for the upcoming season! As we announced recently, Kevin Etter will be taking the helm as Head Coach, and we are thrilled to share that Charles Allen will be joining him on the sidelines as our Assistant Coach!

Both of these men bring an incredible wealth of basketball knowledge to the court. More importantly, they share a deep dedication to teaching our student-athletes lifelong lessons about hard work, commitment, and responsibility.

This year’s squad is shaping up to be a fantastic mix of veteran Seniors and hungry underclassmen. Coach Kevin, Coach Charles, and the boys are already gearing up to hit the hardwood for their season opener on December 1st on the road against Victory Baptist Academy!

Let’s pack the comments with a massive Knight welcome for Coach Etter and Coach Allen! 👇
