Graduated in 1976 in the first graduating class.. My parents took me out of public school and placed me in the eighth grade. I serve my church in Binghamton NY where I work with the graphics and media team. I am grateful to have been challenged by ECA and glad for the training I received there!

My girls have done so well at this school, I am so pleased that they can attend Elmira Christian Academy. They were at public school, and their learning skills have really advanced at this school and at home. Also, also great attitudes.
