PCA has been blessed with the same problem; we have so many children but we do know what to do. We need to build the new high school to make space for the students. God has blessed our school with an increase in enrollment and even more who want to attend when we have additional space. The demolition has been completed on the interior of the building, the electrical demolition is underway and the roof will soon be raised. The key to keeping the construction moving forward is funding.
The original estimate for the cost of just construction of the first phase of the new high school building was $3.8 million. The new estimate for full completion and integration of the new high school is now $4.6 million. The increase reflects the additional site costs to blend the high school campus with our existing campus, furniture and fixtures, exciting technology to use throughout the high school as well as finalization of cost in conjunction with the finalization of plans. We need to raise that money quickly to keep the construction going and open the new building as soon as possible. $4.6 million seems like an impossible number. It may be for one person, but not for the entire PCA family. If divided equally, the cost of the new high school building would only be about $7,000 per family, paid over the next three years. While we realize some families will not be able to give $7,000, we know that others are willing to give more. If each family commits to donating what they are able to support PCA, the dream of the high school building will soon become a reality.

Aug. 23-29: Praise for God’s Provision
God, we praise you for your provision during this building project. We pray that you will continue to provide everything our school needs including teaching materials and supplies to develop a sincere, strong, learning environment that leads our students to higher education and a desire to be excellent for God!
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Psalm 67 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God may all the people praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.

Welcome
Pantego Christian Academy is Building On! We named this blog site Building On because that is what we are doing at PCA. Literally, we are building on to the campus. As God has blessed PCA with the ability to puchase the former Stripling & Cox department store building, we are building on to our campus as we convert that building into our High School. The physical structural changes are the most visible way we are changing and growing at PCA, but we are also building on in many other exciting ways. We are building on our family as enrollment increases for the 2009-2010 school year. We are building on our academic success as the new space will allow teaching and learning styles to prepare our students for the future. We are building on our athletic success with the most successful teams in PCA history. We are building on our success in fine arts with award winning programs.
We will use this blog as a way to keep you updated on the progress of the building campaign. This is an exiting time for Pantego Christian Academy. Join us as we Build On.
