“I love Kirk Academy because it provides a Christ-centered education. The small class sizes allow teachers to truly know each student. Kirk is more than just a school; it is a place where my kids are encouraged to grow academically, spiritually, and personally. The supportive atmosphere helps them build confidence, develop strong values, and reach their full potential. I am grateful for the investment Kirk Academy makes in my children each day.”
Phill Brown
“Kirk Academy fosters an atmosphere in which students are encouraged to stretch their limits - academically, athletically, & socially - while being surrounded by Christian influence from fellow students, parents, administrators, teachers, and coaches. I’m so proud my children are Raiders!”
Allen Cravens
“I love Kirk Academy for the Christian environment that was created by the Administrators, Teachers, and Coaches. During my time as a student, I was pushed to be better, loved, and given countless opportunities to make an impact on my school and my community.”
Liz Garlington
“I love that Kirk Academy is a Christian based school with a community atmosphere. I believe it's a place where Jesus is welcome and our children are valued. I'm excited for the direction that KA is headed and for the opportunity to serve.”
Chris Hathcock
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Trustees at Kirk Academy. The success of Kirk Academy is very important to me. My wife, Catherine ('91), sons, Colbert ('22) and Carter ('24), all graduated from Kirk and my son, Carson, is a freshman. Kirk Academy has helped me develop my sons into the young men they are. Again, I look forward to serving with the other Board members and administration as we all strive to make Kirk Academy a better place.”
Josh Mattox
“I love Kirk Academy because it provides an environment where faith, knowledge, and character intertwine. From dedicated teachers to a close-knit community, Kirk Academy shapes not only minds but also hearts, preparing students for a purposeful life beyond the classroom and creating memories that last a lifetime.”
Adrienne Milner
“I love Kirk Academy because of the Christian and Patriotic environment. As a Kirk Academy alumna, I wanted my boys to have the same positive experiences I had as a student. I am excited and eager to help ensure the future of Kirk Academy and that all students here continue to get a quality education.”
Rusty Mims
“I love Kirk Academy most for its Christian-oriented atmosphere. From the Bible verses on the wall in the elementary school to chapel and prayer in school and at every school event, our administrators, teachers, and coaches aspire to provide a Christian environment for our children to come into every day. This means so much to me, and I truly feel that our faculty is like family. Each faculty member genuinely cares about all of our children and truly do their best to teach and promote learning and growth in every area to prepare them for the future.”
