We will know your child

“O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.” – Psalm 139:1-2 In Psalm 139, David stands in awe that God knows everything about him and perfectly understands his ways. In the same way God knows your child’s likes and dislikes, their temperament and tendencies, we desire to know our students and point them to Jesus.

We will

know

your child

We will love your child

When did God start loving your child? From eternity past! Regarding the nation of Israel, God tells the prophet Jeremiah, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” (Jeremiah 31:3) At Hill Country, we strive to love our students as Jesus loves them – unconditionally.

We will

love

your child

We will prepare your child

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We are motivated with a Christ-like passion to see students equipped to lay hold of the incredible life God has designed specifically for them – all to bring Him glory!

We will

prepare

your child

There are many things we love about Hill Country,

but two of them are the close-knit community and our faculty. The greatest assets of this school are the teachers, staff, and coaches who invest so much of their time into our children to become Christian leaders and lifelong learners.

Hill Country Stories

One distinctive that sets Hill Country Christian School apart is our close-knit, Christ-centered community. We believe the best way to learn about our school is to hear personal stories from our faculty, parents, and alumni about their Hill Country experiences.

Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month: Hall of Fame Baseball Player Roberto Clemente

Roberto Clemente was born in Carolina, Puerto Rico, in 1934. As a teenager, he was an excellent athlete and was playing for the Dodger's Triple-A team by age 20. He battled through injuries and a language barrier for the next five seasons, until the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him in 1960.

The supple right fielder batted .312 with a team-high 94 RBI to lead the Pirates to the World Series - defeating the Yankees in seven games. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973 in a special election that waived the mandatory five-year waiting period. Read more: https://loom.ly/0ky-a-8

Our second graders dressed up for "Noun Day," and as you can see, there's nothing common about these nouns! Costumes included Wonder Woman, a sunflower, a hamburger, bananas, and more. Way to go, Knights! #hillcountrychristianschool

STEMFEST was out of this world! 🚀 Third-5th graders guided Kinder-2nd grade students through special escape rooms and made straw rockets and battery-powered Mars rovers. Astrophysicist and Hill Country mom Sarah Salviander spoke about gravity, space, and black holes; Hill Country dad and engineer in the space industry Keith Becker talked to the students about rockets.

Special thanks to our @megaknytes11093 robotics team for demonstrating their robot to the students too!

Varsity football game against Giddings is cancelled for tonight. Next week the Knights travel to Jonesboro to take on the #5 ranked Eagles in UIL Division 1. Good luck, Knights!

First graders from Mrs. Melancon's class acted out Bible stories to help teach their classmates in chapel. The actors purposely got one detail wrong in each story, to which the crowd shouted, "Hey, that's not what the Bible says!" They would act it out a second time exactly as the Bible describes.

Fifth graders from Mrs. Rot's class helped lead worship and heard from Leah Hargrave of the Charlie Center. Later this month, 5th graders will make Bags of Grace to give to the center for the homeless.

Our House System is better than ever! This system unites our 6th-8th grade in community, mentorship, competition, and service. Our middle schoolers celebrated the House Reveal by learning which house they belong to and waging some major tug-of-war. Let’s hear it for our eagles, lions, wolves, and bears!
