Staff Testimonials

“As a teacher here at HCA for over 20 years, I have been so blessed by my work family! The staff here take care of each other and always have each other’s back. Daily devotions and prayer are the best way to start our day, and even though we come from different backgrounds and denominations, we all join together at the foot of the cross.

The families and students here at HCA are a continuation of the blessing it is to be here. Parents that go out of their way to make our day better, warrior dads that are amazing with their enthusiasm and energy, and students that are respectful and a pleasure to work with…. I love our small class sizes, weekly chapels and discipleship groups, and the encouragement from our school chaplains and administrators. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have been here for so many years.”

“If you are looking for a team of people who are laser-focused on developing leaders who are going to change the world for Jesus, HCA is an INCREDIBLE place to serve Jesus! From a kindergartner’s first day of elementary school to a senior’s last day of high school, we are incrementally adding Truth upon Truth from the Scripture that applies to each stage of their life in all of their classes, chapels, and life-changing retreats and special events. Working with a team who is coordinated together from the youngest to the oldest, ON PURPOSE, makes coming to work every day a gift and a joy. We see ourselves as a ministry working together, aligned for an eternal purpose. There is no greater joy than seeing our students grow in their relationship with Jesus! If you want to work in an environment that is fun, life-changing, family-like, and easy to get up for every day, come and join us at HCA!”

~ High School Teacher
“Horizon Christian Academy is a joyful, energetic, place to work. I love my job and I absolutely love working at Horizon. Just ask any of my friends or family. They would all tell you that when they ask how I am doing, my reply is always “ I love my job!” Horizon is unique because the staff cares about our students and has a lot of heart for a small school. Also, due to the small class size, each student is known and seen, allowing them to build confidence.
Another personally rewarding benefit for me has been working where my children attend school. There have been so many fun moments that we have shared simply because I am here on campus with them. Being here and understanding their “world” at school is so worth it! And the hugs are priceless.”
