Covenant Christian High School Essay

For over forty years, Covenant Christian High School has stood firm to the belief that children should be raised in the solid doctrine of the Word of God. Founded upon the love of Christ, Covenant aims to ignite the fire in its students’ hearts and bring about a new way of education centered around Christ. Covenant Christian High School represents the body of fellowship within its walls from both teachers and students, the sports, the challenge of its classes, and the effects on the lives of the students outside its walls. Sports are an integral part of Covenant Christian High School and are ever increasing in both power and popularity. Since the founding of the school, sports have played a role in building not only a name for the school, but building a strong feeling of togetherness with those who play and those who take time to watch and participate. Without sports, Covenant would be another school on the long list of schools, but through sports we set a name for this school and set a standard on which we may be followed. Having a strong sports section is not possible without the background holding it together. On the sidelines come the classes and curriculum, with Covenant’s being one of the harder scales to climb. Mr. James Haveman once said to me that if Covenant’s grading scale was the same as other schools, every person in Covenant
would notice increased GPAs. The classes taught at Covenant come in various shapes and sizes, from History to Church History to every math class you can think of. The classes are not only helping the students, but giving them time to learn and make their own decisions in life. What is a class without the person in the forefront, explaining everything there is to know about that class? The teachers of Covenant Christian High School walk through the doors each day with a determination to make each day a day of life and joy with a Christ-centered core. Teachers at Covenant are trained and are more than willing to assist those in need, whether it be classwork or something more personal related. The teachers and staff of Covenant give life to the school, and we thank them for it. Everything taught in the classrooms and halls of Covenant is preparing us for the times when we will move on to the outside world, armed with the knowledge from our schooling. When we are faced with trials and temptations, we can use whatever we learned from Covenant and apply it to our lives in so that we know God is holding on to us in every which way. Without the knowledge of God and His Word, we would easily succumb to the clutches of the devil, but with the knowledge we can learn to stand against his attacks and fight harder for the Church. The unity of the students holds a strong power here at Covenant, and each individual has their part to partake in the various activities and curriculum, whether it be on the field or in the classroom.
From sports to school, Covenant has a wide variety of which the students hold to different standard. Throughout all activities, Covenant serves one goal: to glorify God on all behalfs. If I have learned anything from my four years of experience here at Covenant Christian High School, it is the knowledge that life is difficult and sometimes rough, but through Christ all sorrows and trials are cast away by his sacrifice
alone.
