How many transcripts has Mrs. Almond handled in 25 years? And she is still smiling! Most everything in the Academics division of ABC since 1995 has benefited from her detailed excellence. Yesterday we celebrated her faithful service as Assistant Registrar.
"I hope Student Council will have an impact on our student body as we invest in them through both time and prayer. This is an amazing opportunity that we have as a Council to grow spiritually through dying to self in order to serve others for the glory of Christ. My prayer is that we would grow a deeper love and compassion for those we are able to serve." -Jimmy Mullen, student body president (center)
