Our campus-wide Eagle Expectations are to Be Safe, Responsible and Respectful.  We need your help to enforce those Responsible Expectations especially in the following areas: 
  • Get to school on-time.  School starts at 8:05 am. When you are tardy, you are missing valuable instructional time and disrupting the daily routine of the classroom.  
  • Lunch:  Bring your lunch to school or order the school lunch.  Deliveries should be for unexpected and occasional issues–not on a regular basis.  Absolutely no delivery companies will be accepted.  
  • Dress code: Please follow the school appropriate Uniform dress code, including outerwear and  shoes guidelines.  Visit our school website for more information.
GCA students enjoy chapel every Thursday and, as always, parents are invited to attend Chapel services.  Elementary Chapel is at 9:15 am and Secondary Chapel is at 11:15 am. 

Yesterday’s Freedom Day in secondary school was truly amazing.  Praying for lifelong impact and freedom for our students.  Thank you to all who volunteered, prayed and prepared for this day.  
Calendar Update! 
There was an error on our academic calendar.  For some reason April 19th and 22nd were marked as student holidays.  This is incorrect.  April 19th and April 22nd are normal school days! We apologize for any inconvenience.  Here is the link to the correct calendar.

GCA 30th Anniversary Field Day & Color Run
 

Field Day/Color Run Sign-Up due today!

This year our GCA 30th Anniversary Field Day is on March 8, 2024--the day before Spring Break!  This day will be an exciting day full of games, prizes, and fun! Our theme this year is Survivor and will take place from  8:05 am-1:15 pm.  This is an EARLY DISMISSAL day of 1:15 pm for all students.  

This year's event will also include a COLOR RUN!  When your student signs up they will also get to participate in the Color Run. The Color Run is also a fundraising opportunity for our school.  You should have received an email from 99pledges to sign your student up. Please share with family and friends to help us raise money for GCA.  Donations can be pledged either by lap or a flat donation.  Let's see which grade level earns the most for GCA!

The student price for Field Day & Color Run is $25.  The cost includes participation in field day/color run, t-shirt, sunglasses, team gaiter, color packets, and a pizza lunch.  We will also have Kona Ice and concessions available for extra purchase. Please sign-up by February 23rd so we can order the correct number of t-shirts and color powder.

Did you know that we have a History Club?

History Club is a chapter of the National History Club. GCA is the only private Christian school in the State of Texas to be a member of the National History Club. Our history club meets every Tuesday during secondary lunch. 

History Club has been able to bring in a number of guest speakers from throughout the Houston area including Bob Boetticher from the National Museum of Funeral History (the funeral director of Presidents Reagan, Ford, and George H. W. Bush), Rae Bryant from the Houston Genealogical Society, Doug Rask of NASA, speakers from the Houston Holocaust Museum, and Bob Whenert, a World War II veteran.

History Club also participates in hands-on activities, simulations, and the viewing of historical films.  All are welcome! 


 

Student Council Present: Grace News Network 
 
GNN, (Grace News Network) produced weekly by our Student Council.  Take a look at this week’s production.
 

 

Do you have outgrown, gently used GCA uniforms or spirit wear that you don’t know what to do with? 

Consider donating those items to GCA. We will be collecting the gently used pants, shorts, skirts, shirts, jackets, and sweaters. All collected items will then be available during a Resale Day at discount prices to parents before school starts next year. All funds collected from the resale will go to the Parent Teacher Committee for use with student activities.

Washed and folded items may be dropped off in the front office. For any inquiries or additional information, please contact Ms. Felix at cfelix@gcahtx.com or Ms. White at bwhite@gcahtx.com

Looking forward to meeting together with our Parent-Teacher Committee again to accomplish great things here at GCA.  Next PTC meeting will be February 27, 2024 at 6:00 pm on zoom only. Here is the link
