Promise Statement 

Centered in the shared love of Christ, 

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is the college-preparatory, 

preschool through grade 12 independent school 

that inspires and challenges students to discover, hone, 

and steward their one-of-a-kind gifts 

as they come to know themselves as distinct 

and unconditionally loved creations of God. 

CHCA’s vibrant, multi-denominational family of learners 

creates a sheltering—but not sheltered— 

environment where, supporting each other and guided 

by expert Christian teachers, 

students wrestle with increasingly complex, 

timeless, essential questions in order 

to strengthen their minds and their faith. 

Beginning with the end in mind, CHCA graduates 

young adults fully prepared to succeed in college and beyond; 

to engage effectively and lovingly with different cultures, 

viewpoints, and ideas; and to achieve significant impact 

and influence with discerning wisdom, courageous curiosity, 

and resilient Christian faith— 

where others pull back, they lean into life.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees Finance Committee, I am 

pleased to report that once again our independent auditor, BKD, 

LLP, has issued a “clean” opinion regarding Cincinnati Hills Christian 

Academy’s (CHCA’s) financial statements for the fiscal year ending 

June 30, 2017. In this Annual Report on philanthropy, you will find the 

consolidated financial statements as well as graphic representation of 

revenues and expenses, which illustrate the financial health of CHCA. 

The Board of Trustees strives, in its deliberations and actions, to 

support the values and traditions of CHCA and to foster the healthy 

growth and development of our programs over time. Our vision for 

the future defines critical elements for fulfilling key aspects of our 

strategic plan. Consistently enhancing the quality of our instruction 

and student/faculty engagement in an ever-changing world is an 

ongoing imperative. Your contributions allow us to realize these plans 

and to maintain our financial strength in support of our vision. We are 

funding initiatives for learning, faculty support, facilities, financial aid, 

academic enrichment, arts, athletics, and environmental programs. 

We are all deeply grateful to you for your trust, your gifts, and your 

time. 

As we move forward with our eye on the future of CHCA, we assure 

you that the Board of Trustees remains focused on maintaining the 

highest level of education and student engagement in an academically 

excellent, Christ-centered institution. We ask for your continued 

prayers over our community. As always, we welcome your feedback.

Message from the Board 

of Trustees President 

CHCA Board President Andy Espenshade, 

his wife Kerry (CHCA FOFA Board Vice President), 

Kelsey ‘25, and Connor ‘22 

From its very beginning, the mission of CHCA has been ambitious and 

inspiring. The school’s vision statement declares: 

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy will unleash each student’s God-given gifts 

through Christ-centered academic excellence. We are devoted to developing the 

whole person, and instilling a lifelong passion for learning, leading, and serving. 

The more I read that bold statement, the more I am inspired by it, and 

the more I realize the impact that vision has had on my children. Some 

schools excel in athletics, and others provide challenging academics; some 

offer strong fine arts programs, and others may teach strong Christian 

foundations and instruction. But I believe CHCA is truly unrivaled as an 

institution that offers all of these critical traits and so much more, and truly 

inspires each student to discover, develop, and yes, unleash their God-given 

talents – whatever those might be. 

Colossians 2:2-3 states: “My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and 

united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding 

in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are 

hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” I see this realized in 

our children every time I step on campus – children full of hope, full of 

encouragement, full of love for each other, and full of God’s words and 

wisdom, each well on their way to becoming who God made them to be. 

This Annual Report on CHCA’s philanthropy seeks to recognize the 

generosity of those who have dedicated their time, energy, and resources 

to help realize the school’s vision and mission. We, the Board of Trustees, 

realize that nothing CHCA does would be possible without the generous 

spirit of our CHCA community – families, grandparents, alumni, and friends 

– those who give generously to our school through the Annual Fund, capital 

giving, time, and other initiatives. This show of support lends the Board great 

momentum as we celebrate the school’s past, and move forward into the 

next phase in the life of CHCA. 

Partnering closely with the school administration, the Board of Trustees 

focuses its efforts on the school’s long-term vision and financial viability 

and stability. We see excellence and ongoing potential in our curriculum, 

our facilities, and in our structure – all signs that bode well for the health 

of the school. Together with the historical perspective of our trustees and 

the variety of expertise and experience on our Board, we provide a solid 

foundation upon which to build an exciting future. 

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I again wish to simply say, “thank you”. 

It is your support for our mission, your heart for God’s plans at CHCA, and 

your commitment to our students that makes all of this possible. For this we 

are truly blessed, and truly grateful. 

Sincerely, 

Andy Espenshade 

President, Board of Trustees

A Message from the Board 

of Trustees Development Chair 

“Inspirational God moments that result in great joy!” 

CHCA Board of Trustees Development Chair 

Pervis Bearden, his wife Robin and their daughter, 

Kennedy ’21 

Giving is an inspiration and a very personal decision. God loves a cheerful 

giver (2 Cor 9:7), and this community has demonstrated incredible generosity 

and joy in giving. Last year CHCA experienced one of the most exciting giving 

seasons in our history. With support for CHCA’s Capital Campaign – Light the 

Way – along with continuing support for the Annual Fund, Fine Arts, Athletics, 

Celebration, and Robotics, God must have been smiling ear to ear! 

Nearly $3,000,000 cash in total for all areas of the school was received 

by CHCA in this school year. Here are just some of the areas that were 

generously supported: Annual Fund, AfterProm, Armleder Endowment, 

Athletics, Celebration, Fine Arts, Hope Scholarship, Intersession 

Scholarship, Light the Way Campaign, Promise Campaign, and Robotics! 

We are most grateful for the way this community makes sacrifices to help 

develop the intellect and faithfulness of every student, preparing them for 

God’s inspiration in the world! 

Having a little fun too! 

The CHCA Annual Fund 2016-2017 took an approach in its communication 

to help expand the understanding of why we fundraise, while having a little 

fun along the way. Head of School Randy Brunk launched an inspirational 

video message with the backdrop of his parents’ home amidst the beautiful 

Wyoming Mountains, and several creative communications and infographics 

pieces were used to communicate the mission and need for the Annual Fund. 

And in April, we launched the first ever CHCA 24-hour #WhatIf Challenge – 

communicating the need for Annual Fund to help us finish our year and cover 

that which tuition does not. Last but certainly not least, on June 30th a most 

generous gift helped CHCA meet 

the goal and successfully cross the 

finish line. With each outreach 

and unique approach, you, our 

community, helped to exceed 

nearly all participation benchmark 

standards set by the National 

Association of Independent 

Schools (NAIS).

Our Family’s 

CHCA Experience: 

Q&A with 

the Sasse Family 

Benjamin, Jennifer, Noah ‘29, Lyla ‘30, Hope (PK2) 

What drew you to CHCA? 

We were first drawn to CHCA for the Christ-centered mission, 

as we wanted our children to be in a school environment 

that was consistent with our values as a family. The more we 

discovered about the CHCA experience – the high academic 

standards, the well-rounded investment in all aspects of a 

child’s development to include spiritual, emotional, character, 

and leadership development, an impressive fine arts program, 

and strong sports teams – we wanted it all! That was what 

initially drew us. After my son’s first week at CHCA in PK3, 

we could hear him in his room talking. Curious to learn 

what he was doing, we went in to check on him and caught 

him just having a conversation with God! Our little boy was 

praying on his own with precious words that touched us, and 

we envisioned God smiling at our Noah. Our hearts were 

captured from that moment on...that confirmed this truly was 

the perfect place for us and our sweet boy was growing after 

week one! 

What motivates you to support CHCA? 

We believe in CHCA’s purpose and in the people leading 

our school. This is a special place and a ministry we want to 

be a part of for a long time. From the beginning, we made a 

commitment to be a part of CHCA and to make this a top 

priority as a family to invest financially, with our time and 

with our prayers. The standard of excellence at CHCA is so 

incredibly high, I’m often in awe at how well things are done. I 

recently experienced “The Sound of Music” production with 

my daughter Lyla and I felt like I was at a major theatre, given 

the talent and production quality! Benjamin has gone with 

Noah to almost every Eagles football game since he was in PK 

and the team has done so well each year. It’s fun to be a part 

of that experience! What we love most is the philosophy of 

“win twice”, winning both on the athletic field and in how we 

play to honor Christ. How awesome is that! What a powerful 

value for our children to learn from an early age. That is 

something we want to be a part of – both for our own children 

and as a ministry for the broader community. 

Noah, Grade 1, enjoys being a part of a place where teachers 

and administrators believe in him and encourage his unique 

gifts. He’s so excited about how he’s growing each year and 

he loves his friends. Noah’s also excited to be an Eagles 

football player someday! 

Lyla, Kindergarten, enjoys being a part of a classroom that 

cultivates her passion for learning and with a teacher who 

keeps her challenged. She also loves art, music, and the 

dance team that she’s just joined for the first year! 

Hope, PK2, loves her teachers because she loves their hugs! 

She also likes the new facilities that spark her curiousity and 

keep her engaged. Hope also really enjoys being at the “big 

girl” school where she sees her sister and brother at times 

throughout the day. They all enjoy being together in the 

same place. 

Given your busy schedule what do you most enjoy 

being a part of at CHCA? 

Our children are with teachers and administration who really 

know them and love them during the day. We just can’t say 

enough about how much we appreciate them as they share 

their gifts and mastery to invest in teaching and building into 

our children. ‘Thank you’ never seems enough for what they 

do – they give their very best day after day. They share our 

values and there is a consistency of faith and growth in their 

school life that is an extension of what we focus on at home. 

We value the flexibility in programs and schedules, having 

used the extended day program that meets our needs for after 

school care. 

Any other thoughts you want to share? 

We’ve been a part of the CHCA for five years now as our 

oldest son started in the Early Learning Program. What 

began as a welcoming community of amazing teachers, 

administration, and families are now extended family for us. 

We do life together. The other parents build into our own 

children too by volunteering, and together we help partner 

with the school to help create the highest quality environment 

for our children. I just know they are here for our family, pray 

for us, drop notes of encouragement, and catch our children 

in special moments that are shared back with us. We strive to 

do the same for them. CHCA has truly been a blessing to our 

family!

Soaring Eagle Event 2017 

June 14th was like many Cincinnati evenings – hot, humid, and a 

strong threat of storms – but that did not dampen the lively gathering 

of those who attended the 6th Annual Soaring Eagle Circle of Giving 

event held at the beautiful home of Rick and Karen Kohlan. 

The evening was filled with joyfulness and fellowship as the gathering 

grew to over 60 friends old and new. They reminisced about the 

years gone by and shared hopes for the future. Board President, 

Andy Espenshade, opened the evening with a prayer of gratitude and 

blessings over those gathered in the room and for those who could 

not be there – sharing gratitude and blessings for the dedication and 

generosity that has been built into CHCA from the beginning. 

Following Andy, Head of School Randy Brunk shared an update 

on the construction which included anticipated completion of all 

projects and confirmation that they would be ready to open for 

the new school year. 

Randy further shared about the focus on the new divisions of our 

school – The Blake Lindner Thompson Early Childhood Learning 

Center (PK2, PK3, PK4), the Lower School (KPrep - Grade 6), 

the Upper School (Grades 7 – 12), and Armleder School (PK- 

6 downtown). He explained that our former Middle School 

building-centric approach of Grades 5 to 8 was a challenge, and he 

leveraged research to explain why. Some of his highlights: 

• Adolescence occurs between Grades 6 and 7 at which time a 

phenomenon called brain pruning also occurs. 

• Students in Grades 7 and 8 want to be given more 

responsibility and they can handle it too. 

• An 8th grader does not want to be treated like a 5th grader and 

certainly you can’t treat a 5th grader like an 8th grader. Randy 

then introduced Dr. Dean Nicholas, Upper School principal, 

who expanded upon this and how our Upper School format 

comes alongside this research. 

Dean spoke about the intentionality of preparing students and 

partnering with parents, in order to unleash a fully prepared and 

resiliently faithful student at graduation. He highlighted that this 

begins in the Upper School at Grades 7 and 8 and then talked 

about some of the program enhancements that have been 

introduced. A wonderful book that supports this concept, How 

to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims, was distributed to all 

current families as a read last summer, as well as to all Soaring 

Eagle attendees. While this book wasn’t written from a Christian 

point of view, we have taken key concepts from the outstanding 

content outlined in this book and applied them through a 

Kingdom lens by way of discussion guides and community 

groups. Encouraging families to read the book was not a personal 

endorsement of the author, rather it was encouraging the 

discussion–what does raising a kingdom-minded adult look like in 

our world today? 

10 

Dean proceeded to share this (recapped in his words): 

We are so excited about our new CHCA Upper School. We are the 

only six-year, Christ-centered college preparatory academy in the 

area. Our program intends to raise up strong Christian young women 

and men who are prepared to thrive in college and beyond. We live 

in a world where too much focus is placed on grades, test scores, and 

getting into the “right” college, causing students to focus on outcomes 

rather than learning, creating what Julia Lythcott-Haims calls “the 

check-listed childhood” in her best-selling book “How to Raise an 

Adult.” Our Upper School program focuses instead on creating a 

learning environment where students think critically, innovate, and 

follow their passions beginning in 7th grade. Some examples of recent 

changes include: 

• Mandatory English Composition class alongside English Literature 

class in Grades 7-8; 

• Student Directed Learning (Grades 7-8) and Personal 

Responsibility Time (Grades 9-12), giving students the opportunity 

to manage their own time each day; 

• Hands on learning in Intersessions: Change our World Week 

(Grades 7-8), and January Terms / May Terms (Grades 9-12); 

• Entrepreneurship opportunities with the Leaning Eagle Coffee Bar 

and the Blend Smoothie Breakfast Bar (Grades 9-12), the MiniCup 

(Grades 7-8), and next year, the School Store; 

• STEAM and engineering opportunities from robotics teams in 

Grades 7-12 as well as engineering classes for college credit through 

the University of Texas; 

• Independent research and Capstone Project opportunities for 

students: from published research in aquaponics, to investigations 

into peace-making in the Middle East, studying the Baptist church 

under Communism in Cuba, exploring the culinary arts, and 

building a functioning dancing fountain, and more. 

So as students are challenged to follow their passions, take ownership 

of their learning, and fully develop all areas of their lives, we continually 

come back to the core of our existence as a school and push them to think 

about what it means for Christ to be in the center of our learning, leading, 

and serving and what might God be calling us to do with our lives. If 

we do these things, we believe the grades and test scores and college 

acceptances will fall into place. But the measure of a successful Upper 

School is the lives of our alumni. We are excited for what the future holds. 

And as we move into our new spaces in the fall, we will encourage our 

students to dream of what is next in our CHCA Upper School. 

All in all it was a lovely evening and a chance for everyone to 

be reminded once again of the power of a Christian education, 

and the importance of schools like CHCA and the graduates 

our school produces. The world needs more CHCA graduates 

changing the world for His Kingdom. Quality Christian education 

does not happen without the generosity of our families. Thank 

you for your continued faithful support and generosity.

Soaring Eagle Circle of Giving 2017 (recognizing gifts received July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) 

Before Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy could be the school it is today, several families had to take a leap of faith. They faithfully funded a dream and a 

vision of what would come to be known as Cincinnati’s Christ-centered, academically rigorous learning community. The blessing of their gift is evident as 

we celebrate nearly 30 years of excellence in our mission, lived out each day through the shared love of Christ, the high caliber of our faculty, the generous 

community, and the beauty of our facilities here at CHCA. The Soaring Eagle Circle of Giving celebrates individuals and families who carry on the legacy our 

founders started by faithfully investing in CHCA (whether through a gift of $2,500 or more to the Annual Fund, a record of giving any amount to the Annual 

Fund for at least 15 years, or a lifetime record of giving $100,000 or more to CHCA)

CHCA’s First Annual Block Party Celebration Launched the 

School Year with New Faces and New Spaces 

CHCA’s recent capital campaign, “Light the Way”, became a reality for families as we welcomed students this 

school year to enhanced programming and curriculum, as well as an expanded preschool, new innovation labs, and 

collaboration spaces--all designed to provide a rigorous, engaging, academic, and faith-based education. 

The “Light the Night” Block Party Celebration was held to 

officially launch the new spaces and programs, and most 

importantly, to celebrate what God has done through our 

community. This event was held September 9, 2017 featuring 

multiple food trucks, a pep rally, scavenger hunt, tours of the 

new spaces, followed by CHCA’s home football game. 

Tours of the new spaces included The Blake Lindner Thompson 

Early Childhood Learning Center, an expanded 22,000 square 

foot facility with open classrooms, an Atelier creative studio, 

indoor and outdoor playscapes, learning gardens, and a lightfilled 

piazza. CHCA’s Early Learning Program has expanded 

to serve children beginning at age two, with state-of-the-art 

learning spaces and flexible scheduling options. Head of School 

Randy Brunk shares, “We believe that an expanded, strong early 

learning program will better serve families of our youngest children 

and will provide an even stronger learning foundation as students 

head into the primary school years.” 

An expanded Lower Elementary features a new wing for Grades 

4-6, located at Founders’ Campus, that houses new science 

labs and an innovation and collaboration space, as well as new 

outdoor play spaces and a new cafeteria. 

Most notably, CHCA recently restructured programming 

to establish the Upper School as Cincinnati’s only Christcentered 

six-year college prep high school, serving students in 

Grades 7-12. Grades 7-8 are being empowered with the tools, 

knowledge, and disciplines to flourish in the high school years 

by being fully engaged at relational, cognitive, and spiritual 

levels. “With a culture that fosters maturity and school spirit, 

students rise to meet increased expectations for taking ownership 

of their learning, cultivating an internal motivation for learning 

and self-advocacy that will best serve them as they head into their 

freshman year and well beyond,” says Brunk. With opportunities 

to take college courses in high school, pursue your passions 

via independent research, grow entrepreneurship skills, and 

cultivate your curiosity in every subject, CHCA’s Upper School 

truly offers a unique experience for our students. 

Tours of the Upper School showcased innovation labs and 

collaboration spaces that are designed to facilitate more handson 

learning opportunities. (Robotics and zSpace virtual reality 

demos were featured at the time of the tours.) Students are 

12

now able to study, research, and work in teams on projects in the collaboration spaces 

(these spaces include ideation rooms, comfortable seating areas, and internet bars). 

The innovation spaces are already fostering creativity and leadership, where students 

and teachers can have lectures with dimensional learning and take risks in ways that 

stimulate discussion and creative thinking. The spaces are also being used to support 

CHCA’s Teacher Innovation Fund grant initiative, designed to empower teachers 

to inspire innovative high-engagement learning opportunities for students, while 

reaching their established benchmarks. 

In addition to these spaces, CHCA is also home to a new Environmental Sciences 

Center Greenhouse, which will not only enhance the school’s renowned aquaponics 

program, foster university level research opportunities, and provide additional labs, 

but will also serve as an opportunity for CHCA’s youngest students to learn about the 

Greenhouse effect…in an actual Greenhouse! 

CHCA is equipped like never before to fully engage students at all grade levels. From 

3D printers to zSpace to news programming to student-run businesses, everywhere 

you turn, this new generation of learners is taking advantage of opportunities that are 

expanding their experience both within and outside of the classroom walls. 

“Light the Night” was a way to celebrate and thank the community for the generosity 

that has allowed this growth and innovation. It was also simply a wonderful time 

of fellowship among our community. We look forward to more opportunities to 

come together to celebrate, worship, learn, and grow. We’re grateful for all God has 

provided! 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper 

you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Jeremiah 29:11

2016-2017 Light the Way Donors 

(recognizing pledges and gifts received July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) 

CHCA launched a philanthropic initiative in August of 2015 that incorporated the Annual Fund along with a series of capital projects across 

three campus locations. Building on the vision of our founders, the Light the Way Capital Campaign was an important fundraising effort 

strategically designed to support updated and renovated spaces, additional resources, and re-imagined programming to extend exciting new 

levels of engagement for our students, teachers, and community.

Q&A with the Anderson Family 

Mr. Maurice Anderson, Dr. Ninah Enane-Anderson, Josh ‘22 


The community of caring and compassionate people whose families can 

be a part of and contribute to the education of young people with a strong 

Christian foundation. 


A community that offers excellent educational foundation with a Christcentered 

values and approach can only help build strong future leaders. 

Joshua, grade 8 enjoys being a part of this community of class friends, 

teachers, administration, and of course sports because the relationships 

have enabled him to grow as young adult, partnering with CHCA leaders (teachers, coaches, administration). 

Given your busy schedule what do you most enjoy being a part of at CHCA? 

The one-on-one personal connections with community members – administration, students, teachers, and other parents. 

Any other thoughts you want to share? 

We love CHCA. Joshua started school here at CHCA in first grade, and was passionate about coming back after we lived in Singapore 

for a while. What drew our family back was the intentional inclusion as part of the CHCA family of believers. We continue to 

celebrate the joy of seeing Joshua grow as part of a phenomenal Christian community that has given him a strong foundation as a 

future leader.

CHCA Launched the First Ever 24-Hour Donor #WhatIfChallenge 

Our school operates with a model that relies on 

charitable investments. Essentially, student tuition 

covers all school finances through 04/24. From 04/25 

through the end of the school year, the school is funded 

through charitable investments to CHCA’s Annual 

Fund. In other words, 04/24 is the last day that tuition 

pays the bills. And when tuition runs out, who steps in? 

Generous donors who support the Annual Fund! The 

Annual Fund gets us to the finish line each school year, 

supporting programming, teachers, tuition assistance, 

athletics, fine arts and more.

Annual Fund Parent Donors 


CHCA’s Annual Fund benefits every student, faculty, and staff member. Tuition covers 86% of the total cost to educate a student, and the Annual 

Fund makes up the difference. Why doesn’t tuition cover all education costs? Each year, CHCA’s Board of Trustees sets tuition at the lowest cost 

possible to make a CHCA an affordable option for more families. And the gap between tuition costs and the cost to educate a student is filled by 

tax deductible gifts to the Annual Fund and eligible government funding. So, the generosity of our community fuels closing the gap on engaging 

curriculum, award-winning programming, robust student activities, efficient business operations, students in need of tuition assistance, and salaries 

and benefits for exceptional faculty and staff.

Enjoying the Blessings 

of CHCA: Q&A with 

the Puryear Family 

Jerome, Latonya, Kennedy ’21, Payton ’23, Jayden ’26, Quentin (PK3) 


We researched private schools in the area and were impressed 

that CHCA was ranked among the top in academics/college 

admissions, offered the spiritual component, and was a 

reasonable price. 


We have been very blessed to be in the positions we are 

professionally due in part to the generosity of others, and feel 

that we are obligated to at least do for others what has been 

done for us, and even exceed that if we are able. 

Tell us a bit about your children. 

Kennedy is a freshman who enjoys being the only freshman on 

the varsity tennis team because it enabled her to become friends 

with students who she may not have otherwise met this year. We 

liked it because it forced her to venture outside of her comfort 

zone. She has also become a member of a diverse support group 

which is affectionately known as the “Lunch Bunch” with whom 

she studies and enjoys meeting outside of CHCA. 

Payton is in Grade 7 and enjoys being a part of the volleyball team, 

which culminated in winning season with the MVC championship. 

She enjoys volleyball because it is a team sport and lends to a 

different dynamic that she has when playing tennis. 

Jayden, Grade 4, enjoys being a part of new Upper Elementary 

program because she feels a sense of progression now that she 

has successfully matriculated thru Lower Elementary. 

Quentin, in PK3, loves his “new school”, as is the first real school 

experience he has had. He enjoys meeting new friends and is 

learning the value of self-restraint and sharing his space with 

others! 

What do you most enjoy being a part of at CHCA? 

We enjoy being a sports mom and dad to our older three children, 

their academic successes, and being able to watch Quentin start 

what we hope will be a successful journey in the ECLC.

Celebration 2017 

Celebration 2017 was a night of FUNdraising for 400 guests and volunteers at the Savannah Center on February 25, 2017. The evening included a 

record 750 silent auction items featuring something for everyone’s budget and desire. Our new “Craft Beer Raffle” was a huge success, selling out 

very quickly. During dinner, guests were entertained as artist Mark Thesken created a masterpiece before our eyes. The Live auction included two 

puppies that melted the hearts of many and went home with two very happy families. Through the generosity of sponsors, donors, volunteers, and 

attendees, together we raised $180,000 to support CHCA. In addition to the gala, Celebration sponsors the Annual Daddy Daughter Dance and 

the Ladies’ “Peek a Boutique” Christmas Shopping Night. We strive to provide opportunities for fellowship while raising funds to support CHCA.

Fine Arts Donors 


At every grade level, CHCA students are encouraged to sing, play, act, dance, paint, and sculpt to their heart’s content. The wide range of choices 

means children get countless opportunities to discover and develop their unique talents; great facilities and outstanding teachers mean they get 

optimal conditions in which to discover, grow, be challenged, and do their best work. This past year was yet again no exception to the extraordinary 

talent displayed at CHCA, as dozens of our Fine Arts students and alumni were recognized for their gifts and talents.

We chose CHCA because it offered the best educational & spiritual environment 

coupled with so many opportunities to enhance our kids’ fine arts and athletic abilities. 

We give to CHCA because it gives us a chance to give back to a place that gives so 

much to us. 

Wyatt enjoys science because it’s so hands on in the classroom. 

Ainsley enjoys volleyball because it’s what all the cool kids do! (She really enjoys lunch 

too!) 

Mycah enjoys everything – the play & set build, baritone, LAX, volleyball, socials, 

service, and even math. She simply enjoys CHCA because of all the new adventures she

Why We Give: Q&A with the Rempe Family 

Bill, Barbie, Elena ’19, Sophia ‘22 


Giving our kids a Christian education was important to us. Having their school and teachers 

support our values and incorporate a Christ-centric approach was something we sought out 

and deeply value. 


We sorta like the way our kids are turning out. They’re not perfect, but at CHCA they are 

challenged, encouraged, and loved. The quality of education is matched with exceptional 

programs and activities that are helping them develop as well-rounded people. 

Elena, junior, enjoys being a part of CHCA’s musical productions and Ultimate Frisbee team. 

Sophie, grade 8, enjoys being a part of the 7th & 8th grade volleyball team and CHCA’s musical 

productions. 

What do you most enjoy about being a part of CHCA? 

The community. CHCA uniquely brings together kids, families and faculty. Together, we get 

to be a part of something extraordinarily special.

A Message from 

CHCA Alumni Relations 

The Alumni Relations role has grown immensely over the past year and has been able to create more impact in 

the alumni community because of the solid foundation that was established in past years, as well as the new vision 

implemented by the Alumni Board. 

The direction we have put our focus on is Alumni business connections and social media. For our team, this means 

reaching out to connect and empower our alumni professionals to further their careers, passions, and businesses. 

We are offering more awareness opportunities than ever before via social media, sponsorship, and advertising 

opportunities. In fact this past year, the Board introduced an entirely new annual event called the “Alumni 

Showcase”. Similar to the annual Alumni Chapel that takes place every year in May, we invite inspirational alumni 

to speak to the students about life, business, and faith. This year, we featured music by the alumni band, “Updog 

(’02),” and invited Andy Garrett (class of ’09) to speak about how his faith journey led him to a new passion that 

gave way to his company “Breakout”. To say it was a powerful message would be a drastic understatement. After 

chapel, we featured alumni businesses lining the atrium with advertisements, goods, and services with which the 

current CHCA students could connect. We are hoping to have this event grow each year, so that alumni can 

utilize the CHCA platform and community to better their businesses and impact current students. 

One of the greatest investments we have made has been through our social media accounts on Facebook and 

Instagram. These are the major forms of communication of our time, and they have opened up our community 

to connection and involvement. We have done virtual tours, live streaming of events, and kept Alumni up-todate 

on any and all opportunities. The response has been major this past year, and we are preparing to fine tune 

our outreach through these platforms in the coming years. It has been an absolute pleasure working with other 

alumni and CHCA’s Development and Communications teams to bridge the communication barrier within our 

community and search for solutions to further support alumni where they are right now in life at every stage. I look 

forward to continuing to serve and further connect our Alumni community as we move forward!

Getting to Know the 

Phillips Family 

Scott, Jenny, Abby, Will ’14, Ben ’16, Jack ’18, Mike ‘20 

We choose CHCA because we see a place where our kids are 

challenged academically, have opportunities to participate in sports 

and other activities, and have relationships with teachers who desire 

to help them grow in character. 

We give to CHCA because we believe in the mission and the team 

at CHCA – the faculty, staff, and coaches. 

A bit about our family: 

• Our daughter Abby graduated from Lakota, Cincinnati Christian and received her Masters from University of Dayton. She is 

married and currently the Director of Kids Ministry Grades K-5 at Crossroads Church Mason. 

• Will ‘14 attends Calvin University studying psychology and business. CHCA helped him wrestle with his faith, explore values, and 

examine the mission of his life. 

• Ben ’16 at the University of Cincinnati studying Integrated Media/V. CHCA influenced him by helping him discover his leadership 

skills, giftings, and passion in electronic media. 

• Jack is a senior and has enjoyed playing soccer, lacrosse, and ultimate Frisbee at CHCA. CHCA has helped Jack to be challenged 

academically, to have a variety of team experiences, and to grow his confidence and his identity. 

• Mike is a sophomore and enjoys playing lacrosse. CHCA is challenging his faith, stretching him academically, and his teachers are 

helping to shape him. 

• Scott enjoys cheering at athletic events to support the students and serving on the board because it allows him to use his 

experience and giftings to give back to the community. 

• Jenny chooses to be involved in volunteering at school and getting to know the faculty and students, because God has gifted the 

school with people who have a heart to know Him and to be used by Him. 

Our hope for this community is that CHCA would continue to provide high quality experiences for students spiritually, academically, 

creatively, and athletically. We also hope that CHCA can continue to challenge students to establish roots in their faith and give them a 

vision for how God wants to use them to bring more of His Kingdom to the world. 

31

Step into CHCA and you will discover an extraordinary, Christ-centered 

education unlike any within the city, where students have countless 

opportunities to CHOOSE MORE. Here they find their place, pursue their gifts, 

strengthen their faith, and make an impact on our world. And the outcome? 

Students realize they can BE MORE. 

Advancing CHCA 

Since CHCA’s earliest days, our students and teachers have greatly benefitted 

from strong financial support of an engaged and generous community that has 

helped our school to flourish academically, spiritually, and socially. By being 

engaged, active, and generous, this community ensures that our teachers 

and students have the support they need to live out the mission and make a 

difference both today and tomorrow. 

Please prayerfully consider your family’s participation to further the 

mission of CHCA. Visit chca-oh.org/Support 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they 

may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
