AND OUR BUILDING PERMIT HAS ARRIVED!!! (9/29/2023)

With years of having more than 20 local students on our waiting list, it is time to grow! We have acquired the property next door to the Historic Schoolhouse (thanks Twiddy Family!). Ground breaking will begin in October for a second academic building! See our story and draft renderings!

Local individuals, leaders, businesses, and over 100 community partners have donated land, money for wonderfully successful matching fund drives, goods for weekly raffles, time for open houses, and baked goods for fundraisers! And we are VERY CLOSE TO OUR GOAL! Only about $150,000 to go!

Can you help us reach that goal?
