GCA Closing
News of the closing of Glennville Christian Academy came at no surprise to some in the community. The effects of this closing, I’m afraid, will soon be noticed. This institution has been a rock for students and their families in the area who opted out of government schools for a more balanced and meaningful education. The values, guidance, discipline, and overall superior education received at GCA was worth so much more than the humble tuition that the school charged.
Nearly every week in the local newspapers, I see the accolades and scholastic accomplishments performed by GCA students. These students strive for success and are civic minded in every way. It’s ironic that in the same week the school announced the closing, a GCA educator was named WTOC’s Top Teacher. This is just another example of the achievements that are the norm for this school.
I can only applaud the families who made the sacrifice to send their children to GCA instead of shipping them to the deplorable government school system that we celebrate so much. A private education should be the standard, not the alternative. This to me reinforces the notion that school vouchers are so desperately needed. Parents should have the choice and we should decide who educates our children. But alas, why would someone want to pay for something that’s free, (or already paid for), right?
Anyway, the government continues to rip us off with obscene taxation that gets us no where, year after year, while good schools fall to the wayside.
Good luck Minutemen. You’ve done us proud.

It said to hear that GCA will be closing down. I was a student there for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade I graduated from Glennville High in 1992. I enjoyed being apart of the "Minuteman," pride. I wish there were other options. The government needs to understand that people sould have a choice in where they want their children to go to school at.
Question? Does this mean that PCA will now allow African American's to attend their school? GCA allowed it. Will those students have an opportunity to attend their schools? Not trying to say that PCA is a discriminating school but how many African Americans go there?...NONE...
