Our students were busy this summer showing their skills. We love to see our Ambassadors in action!

Sophomores Jasmine Hair and Gabrielle Robinson represented NCS as VA delegates at the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists’ Congress in Boston.

Sophomore Elena Lapetina and seniors Brennen and Tilden Puckett were chosen out of thousands to join the incredible gospel choir in Pharrell’s upcoming Netflix series, then were showcased with solos during the filming!

Freshman Micayah Holland and 7th grade sister Jizelle both qualified for the Junior Olympics at the AAU Track Championship in June. Micayah is the 2019 100m Dash Champion and silver medalist in the 200m and Jizelle qualified in the 100m, long jump and high jump!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2019 AMBASSADOR AWARD WINNERS!

The Ambassador Award is the highest honor given at Norfolk Christian, awarded to students who not only display the character traits of Leadership, Citizenship and Service, but in turn use those gifts to dedicate their time, energy, and focus to their Lord and their school with integrity and honor. On the stage and behind the scenes, on the athletic field, in the classroom and with their classmates, these students selflessly emulate the character of Christ to all. Student winners of the Ambassador Award embody all it means to be an Ambassador for Christ, allowing the light of God’s truth to shine through them and cause the world to want to know Him better.
