The Barnes Family
“We chose Prattville Christian Academy because we wanted our children to be challenged academically while growing spiritually. The curriculum helps them to see the importance of having faith in all areas of their lives. Learning how to navigate the world and maintain a relationship with God is important. The foundation we have built as a family and their experiences at PCA will help them be better prepared for the future.” – Maurice & Alisha Barnes, Nya, and Ava.
The Craft Family
“We have been so blessed by the relationships we have made, the care and guidance given by the faculty and administration, and the constant encouragement our children receive to follow Christ. We are thankful to be a part of the Panther family!” – Billie and Jeremy Craft, Will, and Libbie
Candace Burkey – K3 Teacher
What is your favorite Bible verse?
Psalm 91:4
“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and protection.
What is your favorite memory of working at PCA?
My favorite memory is not really a memory, but something I get to watch every day when we have chapel. I love seeing all of our precious angels singing, and I get to teach them to pray to our Lord. I’m so thankful to work in an environment that puts God first in all we do. I also love it when we have Spiritual Emphasis Day. It’s a day full of learning and worshipping Jesus. I love that we have a special out of the year to focus on our Lord and Savior.
What is your favorite restaurant?
Anything Mexican! I enjoy trying different ones around town.
What is your favorite show or movie?
I love the oldies like I Love Lucy, Donna Reed, Little Women, and Meet Me in St. Louis.
Eli Walls – PCA Student
“I love that PCA is a Christian Academy where I can learn and meet new friends!”
The Chapman Family
“It is of utmost importance to us that our children strive in a loving, Christian environment while receiving their education. It is equally important that it’s a place with not only high academic offerings, but also resources and activities that support students and set them up for success in their chosen paths after graduation. Prattville Christian Academy offers all of this and so much more. This is our first year at PCA, and our sons have been embraced by their peers, faculty, and staff. They are thriving as student-athletes. We thank God for directing our paths into the PCA family.” – Bettye Chapman, Cody, and Justin.
Ashley Clark – Upper School Receptionist
What is your favorite Bible verse?
Romans 8:28 “All things work together for good to those who love God.”
What is your favorite memory of working at PCA?
My favorite memories of working at PCA are getting to know so many of the children and showing them how special they are, and also being able to have my son there and see him and talk to him several times a day.
What is your favorite music to listen to?
I love listening to contemporary Christian music!
What is your favorite team?
The Alabama Crimson Tide.
