The men and women who come to work here every day are first and foremost called by the Lord to serve. Their selfless outlook is what makes the students in our halls feel loved, shepherded, and educated at a level unprecedented at any other school in this area. PCS makes good on their mission to equip students to impact the world for Christ."

This school has and continues to be such a blessing to my family. I've watched the spiritual seeds in the hearts of my children grow and mature through their time at PCS. Their tenure here gave them an unshakeable spiritual foundation that I trust will be with them their entire lives. Now, Kathy and I are experiencing these joys all over again as our granddaughter is now a PCS student, beginning a special Bobcat journey of her own. The legacy continues, and I pray the Lord would continue His blessing over this place and people."

But most of all, the banner that hangs above every classroom, athletic event, administrator, and teacher is the absolute dependence and love of the Lord."

Over the years, our children have heard the Truths of God's Word in our home, in our church, and in their school, and no price tag can be placed on that."
Mrs. Amber Hatten has served on the PCS Board since 2019.

Amber is the proud wife to Christopher, and together they share in the blessing of their two children, Will (Class of 2026) and Caroline (Class of 2029). When Amber isn't grading assignments or crunching numbers she enjoys traveling, attending all of the activities for her children, and simply spending time together as a family.
Why does Amber love PCS? "The Christian atmosphere is immediately evident when you walk through the doors. I am incredibly thankful for our amazing faculty and staff and how they go above and beyond for their students because of the calling they feel to work towards excellence in all that they do. The teachers genuinely love and pour themselves into our children, challenge them, and encourage them in so many ways each and every day. From the preschool through the high school, the love of Christ and the Biblical worldview is expertly woven into every class included in the curriculum. This intentional approach helps solidify the Scriptural Truths in a way that our children can hear, see, touch, and feel. It is my hope that these Truths will be ever-present in the lives of our PCS students. Working with college students, I understand first-hand how important a solid foundation is for success in higher education. With PCS providing a comprehensive college preparatory education, and exceptionally preparing its students with all of the academic, social, and spiritual disciplines necessary for success, I know that my children will be well-prepared to continue their education at the university level and cultivate their talents to prayerfully follow God's direction to impact the world for Christ."
