What do Guests and Visitors Think of Shoreland?

Alicia has visited the Shoreland campus before, but we didn't realize until recently how powerful of an impression she walked away with the first time. 

Alicia works for a Foundation that graciously supports the operational funding at Shoreland.  She gets to travel to many different schools and non-profits throughout the year.

When she visited this week to discuss our ministry, we talked about the school culture and climate at SLHS.  That’s when she gave us her view of Shoreland based on what she saw at her first visit a year ago.  I’ll paraphrase her encouraging words to us:

“The last time I visited with my co-worker, we spent the majority of the ride home discussing how happy and smiley all the teachers and students seemed to be.  We were amazed.  We have visited many, many schools, but none of them had such a positive school climate as Shoreland.”


It is encouraging to hear how evident it is to our guests and visitors that the light of Christ is on display at Shoreland.  What a blessing!
