Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither - whatever they do prospers.

Psalm 1:1-3

Dear Prince Families:

We’re in the home stretch this week with kindergarten and high school graduations and everything in between, including an appearance in the varsity baseball state semi-finals for the third consecutive year.

This year’s combined student and teacher retention rate is over 96% with multiple waitlisted grades. We remain committed to keeping our class sizes small to protect our school’s Christ-centered culture while expanding our campus facilities to enrich our students’ experience. I am excited about the road ahead; let’s have a strong finish to this school year!

In His service,

Col Seth Hathaway, Ed.D.

Prince Avenue Christian School will hold the Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2025 on Saturday, May 17th at 10:00 am in the Prince Avenue Baptist Church Worship Center. Representative Houston Gaines will give the charge to graduates.

Elected to the State House in 2018, Rep. Gaines is in his fourth term in the General Assembly, representing portions of Barrow, Clarke, Jackson, and Oconee counties. Professionally, Rep. Gaines has spent his career helping grow small businesses in the local area. He currently works at Carter Engineering, where he is focused on expanding this successful small business.

In the House, Rep. Gaines has championed a number of important priorities. In his seven legislative sessions, he has authored over 20 bills that have passed the legislature - including legislation targeting human trafficking and domestic violence and legislation to support substance abuse recovery. He has also been an advocate for law enforcement and public safety. In 2022, Rep. Gaines was elected by his colleagues to serve as Vice Chairman of the Majority Caucus. He is also Vice Chairman of the Appropriations committee and serves on the Ways & Means, Public Health, Governmental Affairs, and Insurance committees.

As a third-generation Athenian and grandson of the late Judge Joseph Gaines, Rep. Gaines has long been engaged in the local community. He currently serves on the University of Georgia School of Public and International Affairs Alumni Board and the Northeast Georgia Boy Scouts Council Executive Board. He is a 2015 LEAD Athens graduate, and a graduate of the Zell Miller Foundation's Leadership Institute. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia, Rep. Gaines served as student body president while at UGA and was named to its 2020 "40 Under 40" class.
