A small, private school in Appomattox and its students turned the academic page together to advance to a new chapter in their lives last week.

On Friday, May 19, Cornerstone Christian Academy (CCA) held its graduation ceremony at Evergreen Baptist Church in Appomattox.

“This year’s graduates will be heading to colleges across the country or joining the workforce,” said Assistant Principal of CCA Susan Shorter.

The graduation ceremony featured talented seniors attending prestigious universities, CCA’s unique culture, a phenomenal setting, and an inspirational guest speaker.

First, the graduation ceremony highlighted the talented seniors of CCA. CCA’s graduates of 2023 included Peyton Bryant, Kaytin Bryant, Connor Stratton, Reece Sheldon, Guss Spiggle and Luke Kimbrough.

“We have students headed to the University of South Carolina, Word of Life Bible College, Central Virginia Community College (CVCC), University of Lynchburg, and Liberty University,” Shorter said.
