School Notes
First Baptist School is a Christ-centered school located in the

First Baptist School was established in the fall of 1981 as a
Pre-Kindergarten program. The school has experienced
tremendous growth over the last 40 years. Kindergarten was
added in 1984, and a first grade in 1985. In 1986, a second
grade, a Wee 3 class, and another class of Pre-Kindergarten was
added. Third, fourth, and fifth grades were added in 1990,
1991, and 1992 respectively. Sixth through eighth grades were
added in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Due to generous support and the endowment donations, Phases 1
and 2 of the school building project were completed. In
October 2008, First Baptist School moved into the current
building. Funds are being donated to allow for completion of
Phase 3. First Baptist School does offer its staff : an
integrated curriculum that builds from year to year, smaller class
ratios, engaged stakeholders that are passionate about children,
and learning in a caring, loving, but challenging
environment.
The past 3 years have been a new journey for First Baptist
School as we welcomed a new Administrator, navigated through the
Covid pandemic, and the retirement of the First Baptist Church
pastor of 26 years. Change has been inevitable, but First
Baptist School has stepped up to the challenge. Currently, students
are on campus with the ability to go virtual as needed. Even
with all the unknowns, First Baptist School continues to embrace
each challenge in its quest to academic and spiritual excellence as
we seek to train, equip, and educate our students to impact the
world for Christ.
