Special Chapel to Mark School’s 50th Anniversary — Wednesday, Nov. 18

ACS students and staff will celebrate God’s faithfulness to Atlantic Christian School at special chapels to celebrate the school’s 50th Anniversary on Wednesday, November 18.  Outside guests will not be able to attend the chapels due to COVID-19 health and safety requirements, but both chapels will be live-streamed on the ACS YouTube Channel and recorded for later viewing.

The Middle School/High School Chapel will begin at 8:50 a.m. and the Elementary Chapel will begin at 11:50 a.m. “We decided to hold these special chapels on what will be the 50th day of our school year to take a look back at the past 50 years of our school’s history,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen. “We have so much to be thankful for and we want to celebrate the many ways God has blessed and sustained ACS over the years.”

Oblen said the chapel program will take students on a journey looking back over the past five decades and at what going to school looked like in 1971, the year that ACS was founded. A number of alumni will also be sharing their favorite memories of when they were students at ACS.  Featured speakers will be David (DJ) Schrag, a school parent, Board member, and ACS 1988 alumnus, and Kim Clark Eaves, an ACS parent and 1987 alumnus.

This special chapel is one of a series of events that ACS is holding throughout the school year to mark the 50th anniversary of ACS.
