- Our sacred Easter Concert has traditionally been on the calendar on the Wednesday evening before Holy Week begins and is a quiet joy that prepares hearts for the days leading up to the most wonderful day of the year!
- The final all-school concert of the year is Commencement, held the Sunday before graduation, and combines songs that thank and glorify God for another school year while also celebrating friendships made and the dreams of those readying to fly after high school. 2019 photos here
