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

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.

Congratulations to the class of 2022! As you take the next step God has for you, may you greatly impact this world for the cause of Christ!

At just 15 years of age, Hill Country's youngest valedictorian, Adarsh Vadlapatla, spoke about the recipe for success during the commencement service. The recipe included understanding what true success is, striving to surpass your goals, and becoming a beacon. This will help you leave your own legacy guided by God's Word.

Communications consultant, former KVUE sportscaster, and co-founder of "Parenting Aging Parents" Mike Barnes gave the keynote address. He challenged the graduates that though failure is hard, they need to keep trying to win. Failure can grab ahold of anyone, but we should trust God and keep trying. Dream big, and watch God do the work. John 8:12 says, "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." We need to be active, follow, trust God and try!

Congratulations again to our Class of 2022 and their families!

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

At this year’s Senior Chapel, I asked everyone to stand up and stretch out their arms as high as possible. As everyone reached for the stars—some more enthusiastically than others—I told them to stretch two more inches. All of a sudden, nearly everyone stretched two inches further than what they previously determined was their limit. At that point, I told everyone to stretch one inch further. While some put their arms down, some stretched one inch further.

What does this exercise show us about ourselves? What does standing up and stretching a few inches beyond what we thought was our limit have to do with living a virtuous life, achieving success, and impacting the world for Christ?

In a word—potential.

My prayer for all of you—graduates of the Class of 2022—is that you realize your incredible, God-given potential in life. You have “power [Greek: δύναμις, dynamis, from which we get the English word dynamite] at work within” you, given by the One “who is able [Greek: δυναμένω, dynameno, literally, “who has the power”] to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). When you realize this is where your potential comes from, you will be neither discouraged nor defeated by challenges, setbacks, and failures, but rather, in everything, you will accomplish great things. As David says of the righteous man in Psalm 1, “In all that he does, he prospers” (Psalm 1:3).

Congratulations, Class of 2022!

May you realize your God-given potential, and in everything you do, flourish and prosper.
