How would you describe your overall experience at Eastern Christian?

In a few weeks, I will be leaving Eastern Christian High School and going on to university where I plan to study journalism. My journey at this school started in the ninth grade. Since then, my road has included meeting many different people, and taking advantage of experiences and opportunities that have contributed to the person I am today. Reflecting on my time at EC, there are various reasons why I am grateful to be a student here. This community and the support I’ve received has not only provided me with a way to grow in my academic passions, but it has also provided me a place to prosper in my spiritual faith.

The staff would be one of the primary reasons why this school is such an encouragement. More than just teachers, they are personal mentors who actively demonstrate a care and commitment toward each one of their students. A Bible teacher I had earlier in my high school career has changed my life in ways he may have never even known. He was the first to seek me out in my spiritual standstill and introduce me to new beginnings in my journey with Christ.

In what ways have you grown in your faith as a result of your experience at Eastern Christian School?

In addition to the people who have walked with me, opportunities for spiritual growth abound. The opportunity for missions trips is another huge factor which makes EC stand out. The school partners with organizations who strive to teach students the meaning and purpose of being disciples of Jesus in our everyday lives. During spring of 2022, I went to Lynch, Kentucky with Touch the World through EC in an effort to care for the impoverished citizens there, bringing a spirit of hope to them. This year, a group of students, including myself, traveled to Guatemala with a very similar mission in mind. The possibilities are truly endless at a place such as this. Weekly chapel services and a prayerful community is one which is not available simply anywhere. Eastern Christian fosters the need for prayer and gospel outreach into the hearts of their students.

What are EC’s top strengths as a school?

Although EC remains smaller compared to many of the public schools in the area, there are definitely advantages for those who seek to excel academically. It is here at EC that I am treated as a person, with unique gifting, passions and personality. There is truly no Academic and College Counseling center like ours. They have helped me emphasize my uniqueness and individual achievements as I have pursued college paths that fit me. But perhaps more importantly, coming from this smaller, caring community, I was able to try new things, excel in a variety of areas, and “shine”; whereas, in a larger school it is easier to blend into the background.

How do you feel that EC prepared you for graduation, college/career and life? What legacy do you hope you left at EC?

I feel 100% prepared to graduate and step into this next chapter of my life, all because of the help and facilitation of the ACC and my wonderful college counselor.

How did EC make you a better person? What legacy do you hope you left at EC?

I had a long past in public school and EC was never “in the books for me”, yet it is exactly where God wanted me. I believe my home is where the Lord is and here, in this place, I 100% believe Jesus is, and has been working, my last four years. I have learned to empathize with others who come from all different types of backgrounds and communities, and have gotten to know myself better as a result. I hope EC remembers Jadyn as someone who was always striving to better herself, and the people she came across along the way.

What would you say to a prospective student considering joining Eastern Christian School?

For any prospective students considering EC in their futures, I can guarantee not only a successful academic experience, but the growth of an entirely new family here. With this remarkable passion to see students develop and succeed, Eastern Christian School and the people in the community cultivate an atmosphere for positive change and for discipleship. As a fearful, timid freshman coming out of a different school setting, I had no clue what I wanted to do or who I wanted to be. Today, I can affirm that the Holy Spirit has filled me with the confidence and joy to go out and be the good the world needs to see. Eastern Christian is only the beginning of my story, but a very significant part that I’ll cherish forever. I would not be the person I am today without these mentors and friendships to support me each step of the way.

What else would you like to share about your EC experience?

My life verse which EC has shined light on over these past for years: 

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” -Matthew 16:25

Truly, I have found new life at EC.
