On Our Way

It’s not every day you get to witness a prayer being answered, but on April 10th, 2025, a gathering of students, administrators and special guests at Sarasota Christian School did exactly that. Ground was officially broken on the site where the new 43,000 square foot high school building will stand.  The goal is for students to be in classrooms beginning in the 2026-27 school year.
