Congratulations to Kara Jones and Marlan Golden on being selected to receive Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships. Such awards are made through the Alabama State Department of Education and are for $1500 per year on a 3-year cycle of renewal. Students qualifying for this prestigious award must:
(1) be ranked in the top 5 percent of their graduating class,
(2) have a G.P.A. of at least 3.50 and
(3) have an ACT score of 25 or higher.
Kara was also the valedictorian of her class while Marlan was a co-salutatorian. We at ACA are so proud of both of them and wish them well in their future pursuits at college.
Congratulations to Will Thompson who has just became the Class 4A state runner-up in golf! This is the highest any golfer from ACA has ever finished. Will had the low round in 4A today and finished 3 strokes behind the state champion. He had a two day total of 145 and shot a low of 70 today! Congratulations to Will, his parents and Coach Paul Fisher!
Go Eagles!

Dear Parents,
I want to express my appreciation to all of you who participated in
the SACS surveys which were conducted via the internet back in March.
As most of you know, all SACS accredited schools undergo a "self-study"
every five (5) years and host an independent team of on-site reviewers.
This year is ACA's year for such an on-site review. Ours is scheduled
for April 29th and 30th. In order to keep you informed of our progress,
we have posted our "self-study" (Standards Assessment Report)
on our website. You'll find it under the "About Us" section
and under the sub-menu "SAR Report" (www.alabamachristian.com/docs/sar.pdf).
Additionally, you are encouraged to review the results of all our
SACS Surveys. They are also posted under the "About Us"
tab (www.alabamachristian.com/sacs.html)
. While you are there,
check out our "School Profile". I hope that you find
all of this information helpful and enlightening. If you have questions,
feel free to email me. Thanks again for your help and support of our
school.
God bless, Milton Slauson, Supt.
Jordan Creel has been selected by the Board
of Directors of the Montgomery Quarterback Club as the 2009 River
Region Private School Player of the Year along with Jack Poundstone
from Trinity. This will be the first time in the history
of the Club that we have had co-winners of this Award. It will also
be the first time that a player from Alabama Christian has won the
award. Congratulations to Jordan on this outstanding accomplishment!
Also, congratulations to his teammates and coaches for helping him
reach this milestone for Alabama Christian Academy!
Go Eagles!

Congratulations and thanks are in order to ACA's National
Honor Society and its sponsors Mrs. Cindy Savage and Mrs. Tia Mitchell.
They sponsored another incredibly successful blood drive for the Red
Cross on Wed., Jan. 20th.
Due to the cooperation and willingness of our students,
parents, faculty and friends, 116 pints of blood were drawn. ACA's
annual blood drive is by far the largest of any other school in the
tri-county area. Thanks to all our donors and volunteers "for
giving the gift of life" and thinking of the needs of others.
Seniors: Lipscomb University is having auditions
for music scholarships for the 2010-11 school year. If you
are interested in auditioning for brass, woodwinds, percussions, piano,
strings, guitar or voice, please contact Mrs. Armstrong for more information
at 277-1985 EXT. 228.
Is taking an AP class at ACA really worth
the extra time and work involved? Well, just ask 2009 graduates Holly
Smith and Lauren Oliver, now freshmen attending Freed-Hardeman University
in Henderson, Tennessee.
Neither young lady shied away from the challenge of
Advanced Placement classes that were offered during their years at
ACA. But the extra time and effort certainly paid off! Holly was awarded
an astounding 20 semester hours for her freshman English, biology,
and history classes, giving her almost a full year's worth of semester
hours.
Likewise, Lauren was credited with 12 semester hours
in both English and history for her AP test scores. Congratulations,
Holly and Lauren! We are proud you were rewarded for your hard work
and dedication.
STUDENT HELP SESSIONS
ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS
Student help sessions are available on Wednesday afternoons
from 3:30 until 4:30 for secondary students who need academic assistance.
Students must sign up in the high school office before noon on Wednesdays
identifying their grade levels and the subjects in which they need
help. Students must also be able to tell tutors/teachers where help
is specifically needed. This is not a place or time for students
to come and do homework or wait for a ride.
Anytime students are
absent from school, they MUST bring written notes
from parents or doctors and obtain "green slips" in order
to be excused and allowed back into class. Remember, after 3 school
days, written notes will NOT be accepted. Students NOT bringing notes
for absences are subject to detention as per our handbook. Thanks
is advance for your cooperation.
