Restoration Academy's 2018 Annual Report
Each year, at Restoration Academy, we publish a report documenting the way the Lord has worked through our school in the past year. This year is our 30th year of ministry, and we are blessed and fortunate to continue to grow in a time when many comparable urban Christian schools are closing their doors.

This past year, we introduced a monthly newsletter entitled<br />
City on a Hill as a means of sharing some of the many noteworthy<br />
happenings at RA within any given month. We try<br />
to vary the content in order to give a good overview of the<br />
broad range of ways God is actively at work at <strong>Restoration</strong><br />
each month. Our hope is that it is as encouraging to those<br />
reading as it is to us putting it together each month! Below<br />
is a sample of some of the stories we ran this year.<br />
A Bulldog for the Bulldogs<br />
School spirit is definitely a part of the high school athletic experience.<br />
And that is no different here at <strong>Restoration</strong> Academy. Thanks<br />
to our partners in the Samford University Athletic Department, RA<br />
was able to introduce our new Bulldog mascot during the Homecoming<br />
Pep Rally. The students enjoyed the opportunity to cheer<br />
and pose for pictures with Samford’s and RA’s new mascot. So,<br />
please join us in welcoming the latest addition to the RA family!<br />
Celebrating Black History Month<br />
At <strong>Restoration</strong> Academy we will be using Black History Month to<br />
highlight some of the incredible, historical figures of Black History<br />
who have contributed to our world, our nation, and the advancement<br />
of the gospel. Our students and staff will embark on a time of<br />
rich discovery, including our elementary students who, each year,<br />
create a “living museum” full of amazing historical figures from<br />
Black History.<br />
<strong>Restoration</strong> on Mission<br />
We hope that our students will continue to make Christ known in<br />
word and deed, in this country and around the world. Last summer<br />
RA students were privileged to participate in three different mission<br />
trips. A group of young ladies went to Panama with our College<br />
and Career Counselor, Molly Stone. Another group of young<br />
ladies went to serve at an inner-city ministry in Huntsville called<br />
Lincoln Village. And recent graduates William Creagh and Stuart<br />
Phipps were able to accompany Dr. Tom and Connie Edwards on a<br />
mission trip in the Ivory Coast in Africa.<br />
Two More 5s for RA<br />
Our desire is that our students will learn to love God with all of their<br />
minds. This summer seniors William Creagh and Stuart Phipps both<br />
received a 5 on the AP Calculus test. Six students have taken the<br />
AP Calculus test within the last seven years, and all six of them have<br />
received a 5, which is the highest score you can receive. The AP<br />
Calculus teacher, Connie Edwards, retired from RA after 17 years<br />
of faithful service.<br />
