Missions:
Providing students with an opportunity to implement their faith and academic training through active service is an important part of the high school program. At the conclusion of each year, students in each grade level have the opportunity to participate in a class mission trip. In addition to the Spring mission trips, each fall the entire school participates in a school wide day of serving in the local community. Volunteer service is also encouraged through campus organizations.
9th Grade: Houston: 9th-grade students serve with Battle Cry Ministries, Students will work with individuals with disabilities who live in a Group Home providing fellowship and recreation. The students will also offer assistance to the facility with grounds upkeep, clean-up, and help with facilities maintenance. The students will also help Battle Cry prepare for their summer season of ministry.
10th Grade: New Orleans: The 10th-grade team serves with Mission Lab to evangelize to and meet the needs of those facing housing scarcity and food shortage in New Orleans. Highlights of the trip also include the opportunity to learn about the culture and history of Southern Louisiana.

Leadership Development:
According to biblical models, students are encouraged to become servant leaders through active involvement in campus activities, organizations, clubs, and teams. In addition to serving in campus leadership positions, students are encouraged to pursue servant leadership opportunities through various organizations. Each year students have the opportunity to attend on-campus and off-campus leadership training events and trips to enhance their leadership potential and the qualities of an effective leader.
Spiritual Life:
In conjunction with the academic program and extra-curricular activities, PCA encourages students to grow in Christ and be better equipped as representatives of Christ. Weekly chapels provide community, corporate worship, and biblical teaching. Students are encouraged to participate in chapel by serving on the praise team, coordinating or planning chapels, and sharing experiences and testimonies. Students are also encouraged to lead or attend Bible studies and prayer groups with other students. Our Bible department enhances our spiritual emphasis through a strong emphasis on understanding scripture and developing a foundation for Christian apologetics.
