Orlando Christian Prep

May 16, 2022

The purpose of our athletic ceremony is to honor our students for another successful year. We would like to take a moment to thank everyone both directly and indirectly involved in our school’s success.

Thank you Pastor Dustin Janney, Mrs. Jacobson, and the entire school staff.  Their support for Orlando Christian Prep is paramount to our success.  

Another huge thank you goes out to our parents.  Your decision to place your child in our school, as well as the support, and the atmosphere you create at our games, fine arts events, and school functions is Amazing.  You are definitely the backbone of our school.  

To our volunteers, whether they helped cleanup after a game, work the gate, the chain crew, make a team meal, donate items for a bake sale, or chaperone field trips, we appreciate you and your time.  

Special thanks to Bob Kennedy and Ms. Kathie Rehm for all of your continued help and support. 

A HUGE thank you to the student athletes during these difficult times. The ever changing climate due to the pandemic was not easy. Your commitment despite the circumstances was huge. Thank you to all the administrators, teachers, faculty and staff for their commitment to our students, without all of you none of this would be possible.
