LEAD Academy

We appreciate all the fathers who are making an eternal difference in the lives of their children. Remember, the most important and meaningful work is always the hardest.

We are excited to announce that George Sands will be joining the L.E.A.D. team in the administrative position of Athletic Director and the task of building our baseball program as head baseball coach.

In a letter to L.E.A.D. families, Head of School, H. Frank Lay said, "George has a stellar background in athletics." He noted a few of his accomplishments:

* Built Saint Andrew’s School baseball program from ground up winning 92 games in over a 6 year period while giving leadership to the building of a new facility.

* Served as Director of Baseball Operations at ELEV/8 Baseball Academy in Delray Beach, Florida.

* Asst. Athletic Director/head baseball coach at Rocky Bayou Christian School in Niceville, Florida. Renovated baseball complex, took over a team with 25 straight losses, reached District Semi Final in 2nd year.

Lay said, "We are confident George has the character, experience, and the fully devoted mindset of servant leadership to take on these needed roles for our students and school. Please pray and support him as he joins and helps lead our great school."

Mr. Lay shares his secret to grilling great hamburgers! He and Brandon Vincent grilled up lunch for the staff end-of-the-year lunch where we were encouraged and came together to thank God for our students and for the blessings and great things He has done in our school this past year!

The May 13th storm included high winds that created significant damage to our campus. We need the support of our L.E.A.D. friends and community. We were very blessed that all of our students and staff were safe during the storm and we did not have extensive damage to the main buildings. However, we do have an estimated $50,000 worth of damage not covered by insurance. Learn more and consider making a tax-deductible gift to help us prepare for our students in the Fall. https://www.leadacademylions.com/donate

Part 1--Last week our 1st-6th graders presented "The Greatest Hymns on Earth." You can watch the livestream on our Facebook post. We hope you enjoy these photos of the musical production as much as we enjoyed the students' worship. We have so many good pictures we will be posting multiple posts due to Facebook's limit on the number of photos we can post at once. Keep watching for your favorite student. They will likely be in one of the posts.

We present to you the class of 2024!

It’s all things graduation today!
