"Because I started my education at FCDS, I received a fantastic foundation for learning. It helped me graduate in the top 1% from my high school (WHS), and I graduated from SFASU with more honors than any biology student had ever had. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and the Biology Graduate Student of the Year with the highest GPA, among other academic awards and achievements. I'm headed to medical school soon, where I hope to continue my educational excellence. I really owe it all to FCDS, who started me in the beginning of my journey. Without the fundamental knowledge and skills I learned young, I never would have achieved everything I have!"

"First Christian helped me build a strong academic and spiritual foundation that is still a big part of my life.  First Christian gave me confidence and increased my curiosity about learning because it is filled with supportive people who know their students and expect the best from them.  I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ during one of the daily Chapel services and since then my faith continues to grow. I always refer to FCDS as my second home because the teachers cared for me as if I were their own child and have always treated me with kindness and respect.  When I drive by the school it brings back great memories. First Christian is definitely a place I will always love and NEVER forget!"
