A New School Year Is Underway!
The halls of Mount Pisgah Academy are once again filled with energy, excitement, and purpose as we welcome 128 students for a brand-new school year! Classes are in full swing, our varsity teams have been selected, and our music department is already filling the campus with the sounds of practice and preparation. Most importantly, we are seeing an incredible spiritual climate across campus as our students and staff seek to grow closer to God and live out our mission together.
There is a sense of excitement and anticipation throughout MPA, and we are ready for an awesome year ahead! We can’t wait to see all that God will do in and through our students this school year.
Exciting Updates Continue on Campus
This summer has been an exciting season of progress and improvement across the Mount Pisgah Academy campus. We are grateful for the many updates taking place that will enhance the experience of our students, staff, and visitors for years to come.
One major project completed this summer was the installation of a brand-new roof on the girls’ dormitory. This important upgrade helps preserve and protect one of our campus homes, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for our boarding students.
At the same time, work continues to move quickly on the gymnasium renovation project. Each day brings visible changes as crews make progress on the new classroom, training room, office space, concession stand, and upgraded facilities throughout the building. It has been exciting to watch this transformation unfold, and we look forward to seeing the finished project take shape in the months ahead.
We are also pleased to share that renovations to our Student Center have been completed. The refreshed space now features new carpet, fresh paint, updated ceiling tiles, comfortable furniture, and thoughtfully selected décor, creating a warm and inviting environment for students to gather, study, and build community.
These projects represent more than just physical improvements—they reflect our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional Christ-centered environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive. We are thankful for the support and generosity that make these campus enhancements possible and look forward to sharing more exciting updates as progress continues.
