As we look back on an incredible school year, we celebrate the Mathletes, Challenge 24 Team, Track & Field athletes, and the Science Olympiad teams who represented NCS with excellence. Whether solving complex problems, thinking quickly under pressure, or pushing themselves to achieve new personal bests, these students demonstrated teamwork, determination, and a commitment to growth.

We are proud of all they accomplished and grateful for the way they used their talents to shine throughout the year. Congratulations on a year of achievement both in and beyond the classroom!

📣We are excited to publicly announce our NEW PRINCIPAL!

Dylan Lucas has accepted the position of Principal at Nittany Christian School starting on July 1. Dylan has extensive experience in the education field, including over a decade of service at Nittany Christian School in roles including Middle School History, Bible, and English Teacher, K-1 Computer Teacher, and K-8 Learning Support Teacher. He holds a M.S. / B.S. in Education and B.S. in Bible from Cairn University and is an active leader in his local church. We believe Dylan wholeheartedly champions the school’s mission to foster education, character, and faith within our students from a biblical worldview.

"I am immensely thankful for the way God has shaped my journey. Years ago I would have never anticipated being a teacher, much less a teacher at a Christian school. I would have never dreamed of leading that school. Yet, God always shows his plans to be better than mine. I’m grateful for this next season. I’m thankful for the leaders who have come before me, the colleagues who have encouraged me, and the families who have trusted us with their students. I’d welcome your prayers as I start this next adventure." - Dylan Lucas

Let's congratulate Dylan!
