Our elementary and secondary students were recognized at awards ceremonies for their hard work, growth, and dedication throughout the school year. It was a joy to honor not only academic and athletic achievements, but also character, effort, and the many ways our students have grown.
We are thankful for our faculty and staff who have poured into these students all year long, and for families who supported and encouraged their students every step of the way. Most of all, we give thanks to the Lord for the growth we have seen in each student.
As Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:6,9, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow . . . You are God’s field, God’s building.” We are humbled to be part of what God is doing in the lives of our students.
The middle school years are not always easy as students grow, change, and begin to discover who they are becoming. Through it all, we have watched these young people develop in character, learn to stand firm in their faith, and grow into the individuals God has created them to be.
As they move on to their freshman year of high school, we pray they continue to walk closely with the Lord, pursue excellence in all they do, and remain grounded in truth and wisdom.
The last day of school has arrived, and with it comes excitement, a little bit of sadness, but also a lot of gratitude!
Summer is a welcome change of pace and a chance to recharge as families slow down and enjoy extra time together.
At the same time, there is sadness as the school year comes to a close. We will truly miss the daily smiles, conversations, and energy of our students. We also know many students will miss their friends and being together.
We are deeply grateful as we reflect on this year. We have seen the Lord’s protection over our school in very specific ways, keeping students and staff safe throughout the year, providing strength during difficult moments, and guiding our leadership in wisdom and care for every classroom and hallway.
We are thankful for each of you, and we pray the Lord’s blessing over your summer ahead.
It was a special time for the children and their families to celebrate this year's accomplishments.
We are grateful for Mrs. Judd who has lovingly taught them, and we pray each student continues to grow with confidence, kindness, and a heart open to all that God has ahead for them.
Congratulations, kindergarteners! We are proud of you!
Our elementary school's track and field day was filled with energy, encouragement, and lots of smiles!
Thank you to PE instructor AJ Caldwell for making this such a fun day for everyone. We are also grateful for our parent and student volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly.
Moms, we are grateful for the love, care, and steady encouragement you give your children each day. Your influence is a blessing to your families and to our school in countless ways.
We pray that you feel deeply loved and appreciated today and always.
Our high school athletes are bringing the energy this season, and both boys golf and track are putting together strong performances!
Boys Golf:
Cael Kooiman and Tyler Reed have medaled in six tournaments so far, with Cael earning 1st place at the Inman Invitational at Crazy Horse. As a team, they’ve also secured 3rd place finishes at both the Central Christian Invitational and the Inman Invitational. Coach Shane Hines shared how grateful he is for the dedication of the entire team, which also includes Karson Sullivan, Adam Eigsti, Bo Hobbs, and Bruce Wilson, and how rewarding it’s been to watch them grow in skill while representing CCS so well.
Track and Field:
Head Coach Camille Barnett stated, "What stands out most this season isn’t just the results, but the growth." The track and field athletes are consistently pushing for personal bests, and it’s paying off. "Many are continuing to develop and show real promise, while building a team culture centered on effort, resilience, and supporting one another."
Our elementary school's music concert was a beautiful evening centered on the theme Lead On, Good Shepherd. Students used their musical talents to share a message of trust and guidance through every season of life.
The fifth grade students led the evening with a strong band performance paired with a comical skit before they joined the other grades in song. Each vocal music selection pointed us back to the steady care and faithfulness of the Lord.
We are so thankful for our dedicated music instructors Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Huck, who faithfully guided them in musical skills and worship.
As you drop off your child(ren) for school on Monday, May 11, please look for CCS faculty, administration, and staff outside to greet you. We’ll be handing out donuts as a thank you for allowing us the privilege of shepherding the hearts and minds of your children. It is a small token of our gratitude for your partnership with Central Christian School.
Our elementary school's track and field day is just around the corner, and we’re excited for a day full of fun! Students will have the chance to run, jump, and cheer for one another as they enjoy time together outside their classrooms.
We love seeing our students grow not only in strength, but in character as they learn to support one another and give their best in every thing they do for God's glory. Be sure to check the calendar for event times.
We would also love your help in making the day run smoothly! A parent volunteer sign-up is below. Thank you for partnering with us to make this a special day for our students.

The afternoon was filled with reflection, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for the impact this class has had on our school community. We are grateful for who God created each of them to be.
As they step forward to what comes next, we pray they continue to seek the Lord and trust Him to guide them and use their lives for His purpose.
Congratulations, graduates! 💚🐾🎓
Through provided ingredients, instructional videos, and guided practice, students developed baking skills while working together to make bread from scratch.
Once their baking was completed, they carefully packaged their items and prepared them to be shared with Hutchinson's Christian Soup Ministry. It was a meaningful way for our students to use what they learned in a practical way to serve others in our community.
We are grateful for opportunities like this!
They were immersed in the art of Des Lucréce, revealing how culture, history, and displacement shape the self, and Dean Mitchell, who captures quiet dignity of individuals in poverty. Students really enjoyed moving with the art as it went across the floors and walls.
They visited the Selections from the Art Blocks 500 exhibit, art that was generated by algorithms and creative code, and they created their own art using textured sheets, spinning markers, and a motorized spirograph.
They loved interacting with the Daniel Rozin exhibit. After the museum, a stop at Raising Cane's was a highlight for many!
We extend a big thanks to Mr. Eigsti for driving and to the CCS Booster Club for making this experience possible. What a joy to see our students engaged, inspired, and learning in such a unique way!
We are grateful for this special milestone and would love to have you there as we celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating class. Today marks not only the completion of high school, but also the beginning of the unique journey God has planned for each of these students.
We look forward to gathering together to honor their hard work and the faithful guidance of the Lord in their lives. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Earlier this morning, they were blessed by our school's staff members, a special tradition that has become a cherished part of this season. It was a time of prayer and encouragement as words of life were spoken over each individual student.
As we look ahead to graduation, we celebrate all that God has done in and through this class. We are praying for each of our seniors as they prepare to go out into the world with faith and confidence in the Lord’s leading.
Our secondary spring music concert was a joyful celebration of the gifts God has given our students!
Central Christian's bands filled the gym with both powerful and lighthearted music, each performance reflecting not only their growth, but also their commitment to using their talents for a greater purpose.
The choirs brought a meaningful reminder that every voice matters. Through their songs, we were encouraged by the truth that even what may seem small can be used by God in big ways.
We are so thankful for the dedication of our students and the guidance of our directors and accompanist, who faithfully pour into them. To Him be the glory for a wonderful night of music and praise!
If your child has a summer birthday, you can still have their special day recognized on our school's electronic message board. It’s a simple way to help them feel celebrated as part of our school family. If you’d like your student’s name included, please contact the school office.
We look forward to celebrating with you all summer long!
We would love for you to come!
