A Message From Our Head Of School

When God allowed our school to open 100 years ago, He had a specific plan for each child in those inaugural classrooms. God had a special plan for how He would use those dedicated professional educators to shape the lives of those first precious students. 100 years and several generations later, God still has special, specific plans for every PCS student. He is continuing to use the highly trained, gifted, and dedicated professional educators at Portland to touch the hearts, minds, and souls of today’s students.  

As it was 100 years ago, God has a special, specific plan for every child today. That plan is primarily facilitated by you, their parents and caregivers. You are the primary educators of your children. Parents partner with schools to help ensure their children are educated well. Over the last century, PCS has partnered with thousands of families to provide a safe, nurturing, and rigorous Christ-centered educational environment that helps each child discover God’s special plan and His specific purposes for their lives.  

Today, our focus remains on partnering with families to assist them in the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental development of their children. We believe in a holistic approach that influences and shapes the mind, body, soul, and spirit. It is humbling to witness God’s faithfulness as we celebrate His advancement of our school through the success of our graduates. Our alumni consistently tell us that they felt loved and valued by their teachers, their peers, and by God during their time here at PCS. College recruiters tell us that our students are well-prepared academically and bring value to their campuses. Most importantly, we are overwhelmed by the stories of PCS graduates who testify of their joy in life as spouses, parents, and servants in their communities.              

All of the glory goes to God. While we celebrate “out loud” all that God has done and continues to do here at PCS, we are careful to acknowledge that God is our source and our strength, and we cannot do anything worthwhile without the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit. As we look forward to the 2024 – 2025 school year, please pray with us for God’s continued blessing and advancement. Please pray for the health, well-being, and prosperity of our students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters.  

To our current families, THANK YOU for choosing us to partner with you in this most critical mission. We recognize the sacrifices you make to invest in your children’s distinctively Christian education, and we do not take those sacrifices for granted. Thank you for the privilege of serving you and your children. Together, under God’s direction and through His grace, we are producing culture changers and Kingdom advancers for Christ! 

To our students, WE LOVE YOU, and we will continue to help you achieve your highest God-given potential. And to our faculty and staff, you are the oil that keeps this engine running. Thank you so much for your tireless commitment to our students and families. I sincerely believe we have the best teachers, principals, and staff in Louisville, Kentucky.
