High School

SPIRTUAL FORMATION

WEEKLY CHAPEL

Our secondary students have a separate chapel from our elementary to provide age-appropriate, timely, and engaging teachings. Our student-led worship team kicks off each chapel with songs of praise and worship followed by a message from God’s Word.

SPIRITUAL FORMATION WEEK

Spiritual Formation Week is an annual event designed to inspire students to deepen their relationship with Christ, making Him the central focus of their lives. The week features guest speakers, prayer sessions, worship, scripture study, service activities, and spiritual direction.

FCS firmly believes that a strong Christian foundation is essential for our students’ future leadership and impact in their communities and the world. In collaboration with parents, our aim is to support the ongoing development of this Christian foundation, enabling students to thrive academically and spiritually.

LEADERSHIP

Our leadership trips are designed to help students grow spiritually and relationally as they get stretched out of their comfort zones.

Our freshmen leadership trip focuses on team building and gaining a deeper understanding of each other and their individual gifts and callings.

Sophomores and juniors take a three day retreat to a local Christian camp. They are challenged to consider the influence and legacy that they have and will have in their communities.

Seniors spend about a week exploring, experiencing, and celebrating God’s creation in Northern Arizona. We partner with Christian ministries in the area to see evidence of ancient people groups, extinct volcanoes, and the Grand Canyon. While touring these sites we spend time getting hands-on experience with God’s creation as well as the redemption of it.

EAGLE TIME & HOUSE GROUPS

A short amount of time is set apart each day for Eagle Time. Secondary students are divided by house groups with student leaders and staff mentors. These groups are paired with our three guiding values of Love, Learn, and Lead, and are named after our character awards: Barnabas, Peter, and Nehemiah.

Eagle Time is different each day but consistent from week to week. Every Monday students spend time in their House Groups going through character building study. Tuesdays students spend time doing academic touchpoints, Wednesdays students take turns leading devotionals for their fellow students, Thursdays we have Chapel for an extended period of time, and Fridays our Middle School and High School students take time to continue in their student led chapel small groups to further unpack what was discussed in Chapel the day before. 

House Groups also are responsible for planning for one Chapel a school year, and they determine who we’ll serve during our FCS Cares Days in the Fall and Spring Semesters. In all, it’s our hope that these House Groups at FCS will foster a deeper FAITH in Jesus, create opportunities for DISCIPLESHIP, and cultivate LEADERSHIP in our secondary students. 

STUDENT LIFE

High School Special events

Faith Christian School events are designed to give the opportunity for our students to connect and make memories with their peers.

Fall Fling is a high school only event hosted by Student Council. Fall Fling typically takes place in October. It is a more casual event where you might see a lot of matching flannels, group games, and good food.

Snowball is a high school winter formal event. It is typically held late in February at an off site location. The night begins with a sit down dinner, followed by games and the crowning of the court.

Junior/Senior Banquet (JSB) is an event put on by the Junior Class to honor the Senior Class after their last day of school. This is the most formal event of the year and is usually held in a banquet hall in a nearby location. Juniors, seniors, and their families, along with any staff members, are invited to attend the event.

The Athletic Banquet is an opportunity for student athletes to gather with teammates, family, coaches and friends to celebrate their athletic accomplishments.

Awards Night is an end of the year evening event to recognize individuals who have shown exemplary academic success and exemplary character.

Getting INvolved

Student Council is an organization in our school that is run by high school students and a staff advisor. The goal of the student council is to aid in building the culture at Faith Christian School by planning and executing social events, fundraisers, and spirit weeks. The student council offices are elected by their peers and serve the student body for the year.

Team Sports are one of the key components of a comprehensive Christ-Centered Education at Faith Christian School. It is an opportunity to develop character that prepares students physically, emotionally, and spiritually as part of the overall discipleship process.

Theatre includes every student no matter what his or her ability. There is a wide range of areas a student can get involved: acting, singing, technical, set building, and hair and make-up.

Worship Arts is a student led worship team. Members lead worship at every capacity during weekly chapels including music, lighting, audio tech support, and visual tech support. Not all worship members are musicians.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Leadership is servanthood and starts internally. A person with the right character and mindset will serve those around them. A servant attitude demonstrates internal change has taken place. We provide many opportunities throughout the year where they can service their school and greater community.

Christ himself gave the directive to serve others as He has served us (John 13:14-15). With the deep conviction that service is an integral part of the life of any believer in Christ our high school students are required to complete 15 hours each semester, totaling 120 hours over their four years at Faith.
