What’s New at Harford Christian School 2023/24?

HCS Boys Varsity Soccer Team MACSAC Champions

The Harford Christian School Varsity Boys Soccer Team won the MACSAC (Maryland Association of Christian Schools Athletic Conference) Championship on Saturday, October 21 with a score of 2-1 over Carroll Christian School. This was their second consecutive championship and capped off an undefeated season in the league.

We are grateful to God for a successful season. Congratulations to the Harford Christian School Boys Varsity Soccer Team!

Girls’ Volleyball Team Makes History

Coach Justin Cross reported, “The 23 Volleyball Season was A magical Season for the Lady Eagles volleyball team. This group was led by 5 seniors — Phoebe Williams, Ella Olinger, Sonya Burris, Paige Beuche, and Sarah Mathias — and was bolstered with some younger talent. This year’s team has broken records and won tournaments to finish the regular season with an 18-1 record.”

“This is the first time in school history that Harford Christian School has won their School Conference Tournament and gone undefeated in conference play,” Cross said.

The girls maintained this record of 18 and 1 while defeating the #5 and #9 teams in Delaware. The ladies also convincingly won the Tome Invitational for the first time in 16 years. Our girls’ volleyball team ended the season ranked #17 in the State of MD and #5 in the Baltimore region, according to MAX PREPS.

Coach Cross said that the future is bright at HCS with 4 all-conference winners returning and a core talent coming up from the JV Squad, who went undefeated during their season.

“This is a special group of girls who are selfless, fun, positive, and always have sportsmanship first in mind. As a coach, I could not be more proud of this group and can’t wait until the 2024 season,” Coach Cross said.

Francis Silver Park

Select members of the HCS Class of 2023 completed a community service project on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. Classmates shown, along with staff supervision, spent the afternoon prepping the Darlington Community Garden for spring planting. Beds were weeded, topped off with compost, and walking paths mulched. Countless wheelbarrow trips and shovels and rakes in action made a very productive afternoon.

The students were joined by 8 other MACS school visiting over 180 offices of senators and delegates. The mission was to ask our lawmakers to protect our religious liberties and allow our schools to minister without government interference. When the mission was accomplished the 70 students and school leaders enjoyed Mission BBQ for lunch.

We are grateful for the preparation and execution of the message. Feedback affirms many meaningful office visits and interactions. May the Lord watch over and protect our schools from government interference and non-Christian ideology.

What is New at Harford Christian 2021/22?

Fifth Grade Field Trip

The Harford Christian School 5th Grade class to a field trip to Gettysburg Battlefield November 1, 2021. From the National Park Service Website: The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee’s second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the “High Water Mark of the Rebellion”, Gettysburg was the Civil War’s bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln’s immortal “Gettysburg Address”.
