Whitefield Academy exists to bolster Christian families in raising children who go on to college and life with a passion for learning, others ahead of self, and the living and active Jesus. We are blessed to have families who believe in the value of giving their children a legacy of Christian education. It was heartwarming to see alumni returning to cheer on their younger siblings as they graduated.

We are thrilled to announce that Jan White, our head varsity tennis coach, has won Whitefield Academy's Mark Tidwell Award for Coaching Excellence!

Junior Tiana Jones had the honor of meeting Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp at the state capitol, where she was recognized for finishing second in the National Poetry Out Loud competition in Washington, D.C. Tiana captivated the audience in the rotunda with her recitations of "Love Song," "Remember Me," and "Mezzo Cammin."

We hope that Karen Gilbert and Ben Gribble are enjoying every minute of their well-deserved retirement. Whitefield enjoyed sending them out in style. After many years of hard work, we pray their next chapter is filled with rest and joy.

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We are deeply thankful for their courage and selflessness and mourn with the families and friends they left behind.

It has been a fantastic school year. We can't wait to have the WolfPack back together in the fall! We pray for a wonderful summer filled with fun, rest, and time with family. See you August 14!

What do Free Dress Day, No Homework, Extra Recess, and a Lunchtime Dance Party mean? It was time for Legends Auction winners to take charge as Lower School Principals for the Day! Under the leadership of Miss Leighton, Miss Lauren, and Mr. Caleb, everyone had a blast and learned a lot.

Principal CeCe won the opportunity to be Middle School Principal for the day during Whitefield's Legend Auction. With classroom observations, meeting with grade chairs, discussing discipline with the Dean of Students, emailing teachers, and having a blast during the 6th Grade pizza party, CeCe learned that as a principal, you should always have a plan for the day that you submit to the Lord, then hold them loosely in order to serve the people in your care. Thank you to Middle School Principal Crosland for serving as a mentor for her day on the job.

In the blink of an eye, Whitefield Class of 2032 is ready for Middle School. The 4th Grade Milestone Ceremony was a beautiful evening to celebrate the goodness of God with the friends, family, and teachers who have helped, guided, and cheered them along the way.

Throughout the year, Whitefield eighth-grade students participated in StoneWorks, where they learned about the characteristics of the W.O.L.F.P.A.C.K.: Wisdom, Ownership, Legacy, Faith, Purity, Attitude, Courage, and Knowledge. At the Eighth Grade Commissioning, teachers and coaches affirmed these characteristics and the unique gifts God has given each student as they prepare to enter Upper School. We can't wait to see how the Class of 2028 will impact the kingdom for His glory.

We Know Who We Are! The 27th volume of Lukos, the Whitefield Academy yearbook, was dedicated last week to Señor Lezcano, a 20-year Spanish teacher at Whitefield. He has left a legacy of love for language and Christ in his students. Thank you, Señor Lezcano, for your dedication and impact on our community!

Through a series of deceptions, romantic entanglements, mistaken identities, and humorous exchanges, Whitefield freshman put their spin on Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" for a chance to win bragging rights and extra credit in the beloved 9th-grade English Rite of Passage.

Whitefield’s kinder”garden” was overflowing with delicious strawberries. 🍓 After learning about the process of planting, watering, and harvesting the fruit, kindergartners enjoyed delicious strawberry smoothies. Yum! 🍓🥤🍓🥤

A prayer for students as they study for next week's exams.

Dear Lord, send the grace of your Holy Spirit on me to strengthen me so that I may learn the subject I am about to study well and, by it, become a better person for your glory. Help me to finish the school year strong and calm any anxieties as I prepare. In Jesus' name. Amen.

What could be better than starting the morning with Chick-fil-A, Krispy Kreme, and a few laps around the track in WolfPack Stadium? Lower School students had a blast hitting the track with their moms! 🏃‍♂️🍩🐔

During chapel, the Lower School took time to pray for the Middle and Upper School students as they prepare for finals next week. We’re lifting them up for calm nerves and great results!

As they enter their next chapter, we pray they continue to pursue excellence, lead with compassion, and keep Christ at the center of all they do.

Congratulations, Class of 2024! 🎓
