          The Lord has been with us from the very beginning and that is even more evident after I got a chance to sit down with Ms. Hawkins. She was one of the first hires before this school was even opened all the way back in 2000. She has taught hundreds of Kindergarten students over the years while launching pivotal programs that have become cornerstones to our institution. Take a listen and hear her story.

                                                    Welcome to Episode One of our new long-form interview podcast called "If the walls could talk". I recently sat down with Mrs. Tina Stubbs (SHCA middle school teacher) to wrap up the series on our partnership with Jamaica. She and I had a long talk about our history with the organization and did a deep dive on exactly where your donations end up and how they are radically changing the lives of our friends in Jamaica.

                                                          The purpose of this podcast is simple: to connect, inspire, and share the incredible things God is doing within our school community. In the rush of daily drop-offs, homework, and sports practices, it can be easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. This podcast is our way of slowing down to celebrate our students, equip our parents, and dive deeper into what it means to be a Sugar Hill Stallion.
