How have you been impacted by HHCA?

HHCA has impacted my faith tremendously over the last 7 years. I have truly grown in my walk with Christ because of the awesome mentors. I have been taught to build a foundation of Christ in my life and how to pursue my relationship with God. It is such a blessing to walk into a school that feels so welcoming and to learn more about Christ! The HHCA atmosphere is like no other and it has given me opportunities to form genuine relationships to last a lifetime with students and mentors. 

What will you miss most about HHCA?

What I will miss the most about HHCA is the community and the opportunities to grow friendships with others at retreats, spirit week, etc.  

Is there an HHCA mentor, staff member or coach that has a particularly positive impact in your life? 

There are so many! I would say that Ms. Bezilla, Mrs. Likins, Mrs. Langhals, Mrs. Hames, and so many more have all had positive impacts on my life. They have all helped me grow in my faith, as a person, as an athlete, etc. I am so incredibly grateful for all of them and I hope to stay in touch with them when I go to college.
