Wakulla Students
WCS is proud to announce the adoption of a new school mascot! Most schools choose an animal to represent their school, such as a lion, tiger, or bear. A parent came to me and suggested that we champion the “Patriot” as our mascot. Since we feel an enormous responsibility to teach our students to love America, to respect our Bill of Rights and Constitution, and to pray unceasingly for our nation and its leaders, I certainly agreed that the American Patriot fits who we are. I want to encourage our students to support the idea of “One Nation Under God.” We hope you will support this idea, too, and join with us as we proudly call ourselves...
In 1966, feeling the leadership of God, and working with Reverend Rayburn Blair of Temple Baptist Church, Jim Pound organized and became the Principal at North Florida Christian School in Tallahassee. The school began with a total of 40 students. The following year the school enrolled approximately 140 students in 1967; 240 students in 1968; 660 students in 1969; 1100 in 1970 and 1700 by the mid 1970’s serving students in 3K through grade 12. As superintendent of school, Mr. Pound employed 80 teachers, 6 other administrators and approximately 50 staff. The school had athletic teams in eight interscholastic sports areas competing in the Florida High School Activities Association, as well as an outstanding marching band and choral program. He transported students from Jefferson Co., Gadsden Co., and Wakulla Co. as well as throughout Leon Co. in 20 sixty-six passenger buses.
During the 1970’s, Mr. Pound organized and administered Gadsden Christian School (now Tallavana Christian School) and Aucilla Christian School for several years before turning them over to local boards in the respective communities. Mr. Pound retired in 1988 after 22 years as North Florida Christian administrator. He said the greatest accomplishment of these years was graduating hundreds of outstanding young adults who are recognized as people of character, ability, and leadership, and who now serve God and their communities with distinction. He fervently believes that God is leading him in establishing Wakulla Christian School with the purpose of building a school system which will give hundreds of young people the opportunity for a superb Christian education, and instill in them the desire to honor God with their lives and in their families.
The Wakulla Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Our Mission
The primary objective and purpose of Wakulla Christian School is to train
each student in the knowledge of God and the Christian way of life, and to provide
all students with the opportunity for an excellent education. The teachers of
Wakulla Christian School realize their solemn responsibility before God in
molding the life and character of each of their students.
