Guard House Update – As we recently shared, the new guard house project has been delayed for several months due to the city’s permitting process. Prayers have been answered and the engineers have now addressed all of the city’s questions, and the revised plans have been resubmitted for final review. We are very hopeful and prayerfully anticipate that this review will be completed within the next two weeks. Please pray that all goes as expected, so we can begin construction very soon!
Podcast with Dr. Ben Warner – Dr. Brown and Mrs. Sheats sat down with our incoming Middle School Principal Dr. Warner this week to hear what drew him to SACS, his first impressions of our school, and his vision for his role and the future of our remarkable community.
