Joining the Booster Club is a great way to support the student-athletes and the teams that represent ELCA Athletics. ELCA has a rich and proud tradition of excellence on and off the playing fields. The ELCA Booster Club’s financial contributions have made great impacts on all the ELCA sports teams and the many athletes that have participated in our programs throughout the years. By joining the ELCA Athletic Boosters you will be helping fund opportunities for our ever-developing sports programs. Our recent projects include the resurface of the track and the funding for the new hitting facility! There are many different levels of sponsorship available so that you can help support ELCA Athletics. Each one is designed to meet the needs you may have as either a Corporate Sponsorship or an Individual/Family Sponsorship. All membership levels include two (2) free entries into all the sporting events held on the campus here at ELCA. Joining the ELCA Booster Club is the only way that you can get in free to all the athletic events on campus. The only exclusion would be all GHSA playoff games in the respective sports. You will also get a minimum of two Homecoming Dinner tickets. Maybe you would want to know where you will sit at the football games, we have a level for that starting with our Bronze level. Maybe you would like to advertise your business; we have a few levels (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) which can help you with that. Seating in the Blue Booster section at the stadium is premium seating. We need to show our support for ELCA Football by filling it up each game. We will offer with the bronze level and above the ability to purchase extra seats for $75.00 a seat for the whole season. So, if you need more than the two seats that come with the membership you can now purchase more with this option. This is reduced from past years. Priority will be given first to renewals from last year and then new requests based on the date we receive the form. We would appreciate your support and you can see the attached form to join. Just send it in with your child and we can bill your account for your membership. This year we have added to the bottom of our membership form a pay in three payments line. Just check that line if you would like for us to bill you in three payments. We understand at the start of the new school year that expenses add up and we hope that the new payment in three can be of assistance to your family.

Tuition “ELCA continues to be a special place in my heart. With five children attending ELCA, it’s a blessing to see the teachers pour into them day in and day out. Not only do they teach them about Jesus and help educate them, but they also participate in my children’s lives outside of school. The teachers come to their baseball games and football games on the weekends; they call and text when my children are sick. I just love the family atmosphere that my children get to experience, and that I experienced as a student myself.” - Ashley Cash, ELCA Class of 2005 and mom of five current ELCA students Schedule a Tour Today Ready to provide your child with a Christ-centered education at a school where they can thrive?

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATION, COLLEGE, AND BEYOND Our Guidance and Academic Counseling Office provides academic counseling services for all high school students in grades 9-12. Students can attend curriculum nights throughout the school year and receive course advisement from an academic team member, with each student assigned an individual advisor for course registration. Students are encouraged to ask questions as they choose their academic path for the following school year based on teacher recommendations and interests. Here is an overview of what you can expect by grade level. 9th Grade At the beginning of the year, a Guidance and Academic Counselor spends time in the classroom with students, sharing graduation requirements, college admissions information, freshman year timeline, and extracurricular activities. Our counselor also prepares an individualized graduation plan template, which helps them keep track of their courses, grades, and activities, as well as provides information on how to research colleges. Students are encouraged to review results and areas of weakness from the PSAT/Pre ACT tests, sign up for our SAT/ACT prep courses, and begin monitoring their GPA. 10th Grade During the advisement registration process, we suggest students take the most rigorous courses they can while still being successful. We also encourage students to review their graduation plan while we help to keep them focused on their goals by providing them a sophomore year timeline. Students begin researching colleges and majors that may interest them and are encouraged to begin touring colleges and meeting with college representatives that visit our campus. GPA monitoring, PSAT/Pre ACT test reviews, and SAT/ACT prep course sign-ups are also recommended. 11th Grade While actively continuing with their graduation plan, juniors will be provided with a junior/senior year timeline as well. Beginning in the second semester, the Guidance and Academic Counselor provides each junior with a “Best Test Letter,” to assist students in understanding which college entrance test will be most beneficial for them; our academic team uses a student's historical data to reveal their testing aptitude. Students are encouraged to begin taking the SAT and/or ACT in the spring (and continue taking the test until they are satisfied with their score). Additionally, the College Placement Counselor assists students in identifying interests, colleges, scholarship opportunities, and possible careers. In late spring, each junior will have the opportunity to meet individually with their College Placement Counselor in preparation for the college application season. To help students in their quest for outstanding college application recommendations, our College Placement Counselor provides each student with their unique “Brag Sheet." This sheet helps both teachers and counselors as they are called upon to provide letters of recommendation as our students begin applying to some of our nation's most prestigious colleges and universities. 12th Grade Students seamlessly transition from their 11th-grade expectations to senior year, guided by a comprehensive timeline. They refine their graduation plan, leveraging it as a valuable tool throughout their college application process. In August, a dedicated "Senior Transition" night is held for both parents and students, offering crucial insights into college admissions procedures, essay crafting, and securing outstanding letters of recommendation, as well as highlighting upcoming senior festivities and graduation. Meanwhile, the College Placement Counselor initiates personalized meetings with each 12th grader, providing tailored support during the pivotal college application phase. As acceptances and scholarships roll in, counselors proudly showcase these achievements on our vibrant "Oh Baby the Places You Will Go" board, fostering a spirit of celebration and inspiration across the student body. ENCOURAGING SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH High school can be a challenging season as teens are balancing ways to grow in their faith, build community, and understand the long-term impact their actions will have on future goals. We guide our students through this time by: inspiring compassion through meaningful service work and annual mission trips. Students participate in outreach to others in need, such as through Operation Christmas Child, Sunrise Cafe, local food bank distributions, and sponsoring children from other countries. building support through peer accountability groups High school students cultivate confidence and self-esteem as they forge positive connections with peers, all while nurturing their spiritual growth and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. fostering leadership development with student tutoring opportunities . Our high school students are afforded a distinctive chance to engage in our peer tutoring initiative, where they develop leadership skills and gain invaluable insights into the responsibilities of employment, all while fostering an environment of encouragement and collective success.

- Jeans for Missions | Eagle's Landing Christian Academy | McDonough, GA
Each Friday of the school year, ELCA students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Giving one dollar per week makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries. A THANK YOU FROM COVONE MINISTRIES Covone Ministries (Phil and Jami Covone and volunteers) want to thank Eagle's Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, GA for their prayers and faithful financial support in helping us take the gospel to the people of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The people living in the rural areas of Mexico have very little resource for the gospel. Their traditional religion has them worshiping images and legends that aren't real, and working for salvation as a chance to go to heaven for eternity. This video was made at La Polvora ranch an hour and a half outside the capital city of San Luis Potosi, in the state with the same name, San Luis Potosi. The people in this desert area have no running water, so they depend on rainwater for washing and watering, and they have many clever ways of catching it. Most homes are made of adobe, which decays rapidly, or stones, and most have dirt floors. Work is scarce, but many people have goats and sheep that they raise for their income. Depression, drunkenness, and drug abuse is common, especially in the men, probably due to the lack of work and education here. Covone Ministries holds two Bible studies each Friday at La Polvora, the first one is on the north side of the ranch, and the second is on the south side. Since most people don't have a vehicle to drive, they walk a long way to participate with the Bible study groups. If you'd like more info about Covone Ministries in Mexico, or want to see pictures and read stories from the mission field, you can find us at www.covoneministries.com . JEANS FOR MISSIONS FRIDAYS ARE PERFECT FOR JEANS! Each Friday of the school year, students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Your donation makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries. Have you ever wondered where the money goes? WHO WE SERVE Through Jeans for Missions, ELCA provides over $1500 in monthly support toward ministries such as: Mission Quest: Phil and Jamie Covone in Mexico Helping In His Name Food Pantry: Henry County Fellowship of Christian Athletes Grace Team - Planting Christian Schools in Africa WaterStone – supporting Christian education around the world DONATE Donations to Jeans for Missions is billed to your student's account at the beginning of the school year as a one-time sum of $35 per year ($1 for each Friday of the school year).

We embrace the philosophy that a team approach is essential to reach a successful end. Here you will find resources for testing, college planning and admissions, and financial aid. Parents can be active participants in the college exploration and application process. You should visit campuses with your child and participate in programs offered by admission offices. Other ways to be involved are: making certain your child has been thorough in his/her search; reviewing the admission and financial aid applications and offering guidance in their completion; making certain that tasks get completed and forms are submitted on time; being the support and counselor when decisions are made. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF AIMS TO: Meet with students and parents to identify colleges of interest that complement the student’s academic, extracurricular, and spiritual desires. Write supportive letters of recommendation, where applicable, for student’s admission and scholarship applications. Review students' application and essay materials as requested. Process application materials including transcripts, counselor evaluations, teacher recommendations, and additional components for admission and scholarship applications. Inform students about upcoming college representative visits and college fairs. Guide students on the process of registering for college entrance exams and sending test scores to colleges. Provide students with test preparation resources. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF EXPECTS EACH STUDENT WILL: Be his/her own advocate by utilizing the resources in the College Placement and Guidance Office and by meeting with college representatives who host programs in the Henry County and Atlanta area and at ELCA. Stay in communication with the College Placement Office regarding class selection, the college search, testing opportunities, and application procedures. Take charge of his/her own application process by knowing application and scholarship requirements and deadlines and independently completing each part of the application. STANDARDIZED TESTING PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) The PSAT is given in October to all students in grades 9 - 11. The test is used for practice for the SAT and Honors/AP level placement in the High School. ELCA registers all students for the test. PSAT score reports are normally returned after Christmas break. Going over the test – question by question – is a valuable way to improve SAT scores. Students who have questions about their score report should talk with the Academic Dean or Director of College Placement and Guidance. SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Test) Eagle's Landing Christian Academy school code for both the SAT and the ACT is 112046. SAT Reasoning Test Beginning with the winter/spring of the junior year, all students are strongly encouraged to take the SAT Reasoning test if their PSAT results indicate this is their best test. Dates for the test and registration information can be found on-line or in the College Placement and Guidance Office. ACT We encourage students to take the ACT if their PreACT results indicate this is their best test. The ACT is an achievement test measuring English, math, reading, and science skills. Some students naturally respond better to the nature of the questions on the ACT with more ease. Dates for tests and registration information can be found on-line or in the Director of College Placement and Guidance Office. AP Exams Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes are required to sit for the final exam written by the college board. These tests begin the second week of May.
