Philippians 1:3 Dear Chapel Hill Christian School Family, Because of our affection for every one of you, Laura and I would love to take each of you aside to have an individual conversation with you about our retirement from Chapel Hill Christian School. Just over two years ago we began speaking with the Lord and our Board of Education about creating a succession plan so that the search could begin for the new Lead Administrator at God’s School – CHCS. We began to see the need to give additional time to our family and move into the next chapter of God’s plan for our lives. As we enter the active phase of my retirement, I plan to continue my service to CHCS through the selection of our new leader and until June 30th, 2022 in order to effectively transition responsibilities and encourage our next Lead Administrator. Laura and I want you to know that we’ve prayed over and seriously considered this decision because of how much we’ve loved serving with you at Chapel Hill Christian School. Many of our feelings are similar to those of the Apostle Paul when he was writing his letter to the Philippians. Every time we think about Chapel Hill’s Board of Education, the faculty and staff, the families and especially the awesome students, we thank our God! A Message from Dan Petschke — Board Chair Please join me and our Board of Education in giving heartfelt thanks to John and Laura for their service, their many accomplishments, and unwavering dedication to CHCS. More to come on how we will give them the sendoff they deserve at the end of this school year.

Search Updates 11/09/2021 10/08/2021 Our Search Committee has continued to be hard-at-work through October and into November with their efforts to discern God’s provision of our new Lead Administrator. Our timeline is aimed at deciding on our new Lead Administrator by Spring of 2022 to allow time for a smooth transition. Our efforts have centered on the following: Finalizing the position profile and the prospectus highlighting the uniqueness of our school. Posting the position for our school’s Lead Administrator at several platforms that are highly searched in the field of education. Developed a structured networking approach to expand our search within Christian education circles. Receiving resumes. We have already begun to receive resumes and inquiries into the position. We will continue to meet each month to review potential candidates for our new Lead Administrator and appoint additional team members from within our staff to broaden the stakeholder involvement in the selection process. Preparing and refining our interview process, to be ready to talk with candidates in the early part of 2022. We ask that you continue to pray alongside us during this process. Ask the Lord to continue to provide the unity within the team that we are experiencing. Ask Him to prepare the heart of our new Lead Administrator and open them up God’s plan for our school. Pray that as we expand our committee and our search that God would bring people to us that are wide-open to His perfect will for CHCS! Thankful in advance for your prayers!
