Our History

An arial view of Lake Region Christian School and grounds showing the school itself, trees and parking area.

In 1974, Lake Region Christian School was founded by Pastor Richard Paige and the First Baptist Church congregation. LRCS began as an Accelerated Christian School (ACE), and during the first year, thirty students were enrolled in Kindergarten through eleventh grade, with three full-time teachers and three to four part-time staff members.

In the 1979-1980 school year, the teachers began incorporating some traditional Bible, English, and math mini-classes into the curriculum, and work was begun on a new soccer field. During the 1983-1984 school, LRCS transitioned to a traditional classroom setting for all grades. In 1997-1998, the church voted to expand the building to accommodate school growth. The expansion included secondary classrooms, offices, a music room, computer lab, and a gymnasium. In 2006-2007, the middle school program was introduced, and fifth-eighth grade students had their own program. In 2007, Part of the upstairs was completed to provide for more classroom space. During the 2022-2023 school year, the remaining part of the upstairs was completed to allow for additional growth.

Since the beginning, Lake Region Christian School has offered a full and varied educational program with the highest quality training in a distinctly Christian environment. Quality programs are available to the students in academics, music, athletics, drama, and other elective and extracurricular activities.

Throughout the years, LRCS has remained committed to provide a quality education from a Biblical perspective.
