Brenda Lurtey

“When my parents enrolled me at Dublin Christian Academy in 1987, my life would never be the same. At first, I was extremely skeptical and uncomfortable around so many nice kids and faculty, but as time went by, I began to see that they had a joy that I so desperately needed in my life. In God’s kindness He gave me Christian friends that are now my lifelong friends (even though some of us live a thousand miles apart). The faculty and staff showered me with the love and acceptance I so desperately needed. “
