MISSION OF GARLAND CHRISTIAN ACADEMY ATHLETICS

At Garland Christian Academy, we are committed to providing an excellent Christ-centered, biblical education for the development of Christian leaders. This commitment extends beyond the classroom, as our athletics program serves as a powerful platform for student-athletes to grow in body, mind, and spirit.

Through various sports, including football, volleyball, soccer, basketball, and more, our teams learn invaluable life lessons such as teamwork, perseverance, and leadership while honoring God with their talents and abilities.

As athletes compete with passion and integrity, they help build strong school spirit, fostering a sense of community and pride among students, parents, and alumni. In a Christ-centered atmosphere, athletes are encouraged to shine as examples of integrity, humility, and passion, representing their school and faith with excellence.

By integrating faith and athletics, GCA equips students to make a lasting impact both on and off the field, developing the next generation of Christian leaders who will serve with purpose and conviction.

Conference and Associations-

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics as well as fine and performing arts programs. Within our 51 member state associations (including Washington, D.C.), we serve 19,500 high schools and more than 12 million young people.

The NFHS writes playing rules for high school sports and provides guidance on a multitude of national issues. We offer online education courses for high school coaches, officials, students, parents, and speech and music leaders through the NFHS Learning Center. We showcase high school sports and performing arts online through the NFHS Network.

Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that all students have an opportunity to enjoy healthy participation, achievement and good sportsmanship in education-based activities.

TAPPS- High School

Chartered in 1978, the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) serves to organize, stimulate, encourage and promote the academic, athletic and fine arts programs in an effort to foster a spirit of fair play, good fellowship, true sportsmanship and wholesome competition for boys and girls. From a humble beginning of 20 member schools in 1978, twelve of which remain members, TAPPS has grown to a membership of 230 schools with a combined enrollment of over 40,000 students. Schools are presently aligned in six (6) classifications with districts across the state of Texas.
