BRYMER Staff Writer Visit East Gold Street Wesleyan through the week and youll see teens eating lunch in the courtyard, studying for tests and prac- ticing soccer. The church opened its doors to Hope Christian Academy in August. “It’s very exciting,” said Pastor Eddie Gray. “We're looking for a great year.” Hope Principal Ray Sibley sat down with The Herald late Friday afternoon, the end of the schopl’s first week. “The kids are real happy. They're a great bunch,” he said. The new school has attracted 43 students from Kings Mountain, Gastonia and Shelby. Parents have donated computer equip- ment and one volunteered to link the machines together. The newly formed parent group has started a fundraising project. East Gold Street is letting Hope use its facilities rent free with the school paying the overage in utilities and cleaning restrooms daily. “Every obstacle we've come up against God has made a way for us to contin- ue,” Sibley said. The academic day is divided into eight 45-minute classes. The school offers honors courses in science and plans to add advanced placement in several disci- plines. Bible is taught daily from a conservative, non- denominational perspective. “No matter what we teach, you need to check it out in Scripture and with your own church,” Sibley tells students when he teach- ~~ We Found Mr. Goodwrench & He's Here at Please Clip Ad and Present To Service Manager A $19.95 Oil Change $99 Brake Job on Most GM Vehicles (machining rotors extra) "615 Broad Street, Kings Mountain, NC peveem es about spiritual gifts. Students also attend . chapel on Fridays. Like everyone at Hope, Sibley, who also teaches sci- ence, wears many hats. He compares being on the facul- ty to Survivor, the television reality series that tests con- testants’ mettle though he says it’s worth the work. “It's something we enjoy. It’s great when you see the lights come on,” he said. The multiple duties allow Hope to keep its tuition at $300 per month. The frugali- ty has extended: to the kitchen and bathroom. Students bring their lunches instead of the school operat- ing a cafeteria. All eight instructors share bathroom cleaning duty. “We've decided to keep the prices down so more kids can come,” Sibley said. If enrollment climbs Sibley hopes tuition can be lowered. Sibley said he is 90 percent sure no teacher makes over $25,000, though ~ he hopes that will change as the school grows. Exact salaries are made available to parents. Sibley, himself a product of public schools, wishes he could have attended Christian primary and sec- ondary schools. Though he wasn’t a Christian at the time, his refusal to smoke and use other drugs made . for awkward social situa- tions. He believes this sce- nario could have been avoided had he attended a Christian school. Sibley also wishes as a teen he could have had someone answer his questions on topics like evolution from a Christian perspective. In college he became a Christian and realized he wanted to teach the Bible. Sibley taught at Evangel in Gastonia for three years, then at First Assembly School for 12 years. Sibley says middle and high school age students are “not afraid to ask big ques- | ANDIE L. BRYMER/HERALD Thomas McDaniel, left, and Jacob Hoffman study for an English test Friday at Hope Christian.

You can give them big answers,” he said. Both Sibley’s son and daughter are students at Hope and are active in the school’s sports program. East Gold Street's Pastor Gray is hopeful the school will expand. He says the entire congregation has embraced Hope. After Sibley and two other teachers approached him, the board and then the congregation overwhelmingly approved the project. Gray said when the church built its family life center two years ago, he wondered if the space could be used for a day care or preschool, however a sec- ondary school never entered his mind. “God revealed his will for something we hadn't thought of,” Gray said. 36 KMHS seniors inducted into NHS Thirty-six Kings Mountain High School seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society August 19 in the KMHS media center.
