On Top of the World: An Unforgettable Junior/Senior Banquet

By Diego Duarte
This past April, Christian High School’s upperclassmen enjoyed a unique event that will be a memory for many years to come – this year’s Junior/Senior Banquet was held in the Ultimate Skybox, overlooking Petco Park. Here, students got to enjoy a Padre game from high up in our city’s beautiful skyline. They enjoyed time with friends, a fun dinner, and a stunning view.
English teacher, Mrs. Breeden, gave her famous senior poem to the graduating class, who eagerly waited for their name to be mentioned in it. It is a tradition that never disappoints!
Afterward, election results for the king and queen of the senior class were announced, crowing Diego Davies as king and Sarah Chiasson as senior queen. To end the night, the seniors passed the torch to the junior class as they participated in a candle ceremony where each junior had a candle that was lit by a senior candle. Seniors then gave their younger counterparts some advice and some wisdom as they head on into senior year.
It was a beautiful and memorable event surrounded by friends, loved teachers, and panoramic views of America’s Finest City – a night that made these students feel on top of the world.

IN MEMORY OF OUR FOUNDER

It is with sadness that we share that the co-founder of our school district, Dr. Beverly LaHaye, passed away on Sunday, April 14. She was 94 years old.

Beverly was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ all the days of her life, and God used her in extraordinary ways to make a difference in the world around her. Along with her husband Dr. Tim LaHaye, she worked to establish Christian Unified Schools at a time when Christian education was in its infancy. She had a vision to meet the need for God-honoring curriculum and teachers who modeled Christlikeness to the students in their care, and she worked tirelessly to that end.

In addition to her influence on our school district, Beverly was also the author of many books, the founder of Concerned Women for America, and a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a faithful and treasured member of Shadow Mountain Community Church, where she was honored recently during the GirlTime women’s event. As the audience stood to applaud, Beverly pointed upward, giving all of the glory to the God she served.
