PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Mr. Jay Boggess
Because of your faithfulness, we not only met our goal - we exceeded it in ways that only God could have orchestrated! “ “
Dear Faithful Friends of Jupiter Christian School,
Welcome to the second edition of our Philanthropy Report! Thanks to your continuous support, giving at our school has grown exponentially over the last few years. As a way to show our appreciation for your generosity and in celebration of the vision we are called to be a part of, I am proud to introduce the second edition of this publication meant to keep you informed of all the excitement happening around our campuses.
At Jupiter Christian School, we remain committed to our mission: to teach the mind, reach the heart, and inspire servant leaders who are impacting the world for Jesus Christ. On the following pages, you’ll see how your generosity has strengthened our Annual Fund and helped provide an environment where every student is known by name and loved unconditionally. Here, students are nurtured and challenged to reach their fullest potential - in college, in career, and most importantly, in their calling.
This past year, we prayerfully set a goal of raising $1.3M for our Annual Fund, which supports key areas such as campus security, learning services, athletics, fine arts, scholarships, and faculty development. Because of your faithfulness, we not only met our goal - we exceeded it in ways that only God could have orchestrated!
On behalf of our Faculty, Staff, and Board of Directors, thank you for being a vital part of our mission. Your partnership fuels our passion, and together we are shaping future learners and leaders for Christ. The best is yet to come at Jupiter Christian School!
With Joy and Gratitude, Jay Boggess, President

“ “
Children are a gift from the Lord. - Psalms 127:3
Mr. Wilson Enriquez
Dear JCS Community,
Our children are the heart of Jupiter Christian School. Each day, they walk through our doors with the promise of a brighter future as they are not only acquiring knowledge but also developing the character and values that will guide them throughout their lives.
Our school is more than a place to learn. It’s a nurturing space where children grow in mind, spirit, and emotion. At JCS, our faculty and staff foster an environment where faith and education work together. They pray for strength and unity as JCS remains a beacon of excellence in our community.
Our parents have been incredible partners on this journey, dedicating themselves to our growth while supporting our various programs and initiatives. It's clear that you're committed to Jupiter Christian's success, and your support has enabled our school to continue achieving its mission and vision for our students. We appreciate the faith you've placed in us by trusting us with the education and spiritual growth of your children.
With our Strategic Plan: Vision 2030 well underway, the future of Jupiter Christian looks bright and exciting! As a board member, I am extremely proud of the work that our leadership team has poured into this plan and as a parent, I am truly inspired by it.
This new plan will provide our students with amazing opportunities as they graduate from JCS and make a tremendous impact in our community, in our country, and in the world…all for Jesus Christ. Vision 2030 is a grand plan that places our students in the best position for growth. We look forward to your ongoing partnership to ensure its success while watching our children grow up in this most amazing environment...together!
God Bless,
Wilson Enriquez, Board Advancement Director
LADIES LUNCHEON RECAP
What a beautiful day we had at our very first All For Love Ladies Luncheon, hosted at the lovely Lady Jean Ranch on Thursday, December 12, 2024.
This special event brought together a wonderful community of women with one heartfelt purpose - to bless our incredible JCS teachers. We raised $137,062 which went directly toward underwriting Christmas bonuses for our faculty, in recognition of their tireless dedication and love for our students.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing committee, the Advancement Team, volunteers, vendors, JCS 700 South, and our inspiring Senior Speaker Lindsay Cox for helping make this inaugural event such a memorable and meaningful success!
GOLF TOURNAMENT RECAP
The JCS Annual Golf Tournament was held at the prestigious Trump National Golf Club on Monday, April 14, 2025. Your presence and generous support helped make this event another memorable day for our school community - and our most successful golf event to date!
We raised $175,199 this year - just over double what we raised last year! Thanks to our donors, we’ve secured vital funds that directly support Vision 2030. Every contribution plays a meaningful role in turning this vision into reality. Whether you played a round, sponsored a hole, or simply showed up in support, your involvement means the world to us - and to the students who benefit directly from your generosity.
DONOR SPOTLIGHT
The Husted Family
Being at JCS has taught my children how to be kind, loving, and compassionate towards all people. They recognize that everyone is going through their own situation and with Jesus, we are more loving, generous, and kind.
Daniel and Marlena Husted are proud parents of a large blended family with seven children. One is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design, two attend Florida International University, and another is enrolled at the University of South Florida. At Jupiter Christian School, they have three children: Ava (11th grade) and twins Charlotte and Grayson (3rd grade).
The Husted's chose JCS because they wanted their youngest children to receive a Christ-centered education - one that reflects the values they hold at home and allows them to stay actively involved. When asked what they love most about the JCS community, they answered simply: “That we can be involved and have a voice - not just for our children, but for others too.”
Marlena especially enjoys her role as a “behind-the-scenes” parent, helping in classrooms and at celebrations. Her favorite moments are sitting with her children in chapel and singing worship songs together. “It lets me see them excited about God and be vulnerable with them,” she shares.
The Husted's were led by their faith to make a generous gift toward the Eagle’s Nest Café Project. “We believe children are our future. Supporting health and wellness from a young age is crucial,” Marlena explains. As a culinary-trained professional, she sees food not only as nourishment, but as love and healing. “Many struggles children face can be helped with proper nutrition and the chance to try foods they may not otherwise experience.”
When asked how she hopes their gift will impact students, Marlena says, “I hope it inspires lifelong healthy habits. I want them to feel empowered to make choices that can transform their lives.”
Thank you Husted Family for your unwavering support of our school and your generous investment in our mission!
RIBBON CUTTING RECAP
Jupiter Christian School was honored to recognize The Husted Family during our ribbon cutting ceremony on April 8, 2025 for the beautiful new outdoor seating area and pergola on West Campus! The special morning was a powerful reminder of generosity in action - how the gift of one family can bless an entire school community.
Also, thanks to the Husted Family, the newly renovated Eagles Nest Caf é will be opening August 2025. Fresh & Local, a locally owned organization, will help to bring variety, nutrition, and a modern dining space to JCS.
We are deeply grateful for the Husted Family’s incredible heart for JCS and their meaningful investment in our mission. Their support will provide a welcoming space for students, staff, and families to gather, learn, and grow together for years to come.
DONOR SPOTLIGHT
The Lovelady Family “ “
Jupiter Christian School is more than a school - it's a Christcentered community that has deeply impacted lives.
Christi and Jason Lovelady, both Southern Methodist University graduates, are parents to Jake (16), a rising junior at JCS; Piper (19), a Pilates instructor opening her own studio in 2025; and James (22), a recent graduate of Texas Christian University. Before JCS, the Lovelady's homeschooled their children, but when Jake expressed interest in an inclass experience in 6th grade, JCS stood out as the clear choice.
“Public schools and other private options didn’t offer the Christ-centered environment we wanted,” the Lovelady's shared. “JCS gave us peace, knowing Jake would be surrounded by godly peers and faculty.”
What they found was a strong, supportive community. In 2023, when Jake sustained a serious football injury, the love and support from teachers and staff reaffirmed their decision. “The sense of family at JCS is unmatched,” they said.
This past year, the Lovelady's felt called to give in a bigger way. After prayerfully considering how to tithe from the sale of their businesses, they chose to give their full tithe to JCS. Their gift supported urgent facility needs, and in honor of their generosity, the renovated ATC will be named the Lovelady Athletic Training Center.
“We view this as a tithe, not a gift,” they explained. “JCS churches our children daily and helps lay a strong foundation in Christ.”
The Lovelady's hope their support inspires others to invest in JCS, not just for their own children but for the broader community. “By giving to JCS, you’re helping shine the light of Jesus in Jupiter and beyond.”
In just a few years, they’ve seen the school grow through expanded academic programs and Christ-centered leadership. Jake has been inspired to pursue the U.S. Air Force Academy - driven by both academic ambition and spiritual growth.
We are deeply grateful to the Lovelady Family for their generous and faith-led gift, which will have a lasting impact on the JCS community for years to come.

PATHWAYS PROGRAM
The Business & Entrepreneurship Pathway
The JCS Pathways Program exists to connect JCS students with enhanced curricular opportunities and mentoring relationships so that our young leaders gain clarity on the Lord's calling in their life through experience and inspiration for future endeavors in college, career, and beyond!
The Business and Entrepreneurship Pathway curriculum focuses on major business disciplines and allows students to dive deeper into areas of interest through individualized projects, professional experience, and more. In pursuing business and entrepreneurship, students will learn how organizations create, manage, market, finance, and track value. Students gain real-world experience through internships at 700 South, our student run coffee shop and school store. This endorsement develops intellectual competence in the disciplines of business and entrepreneurship in ways that foster Christian character and inspire commitment to build the church and benefit society worldwide.

700 SOUTH COFFEE & APPAREL
700 South is a Community
From our student body came the idea to become entrepreneurs - to take a risk and start student-run businesses. The JCS school community listened and said yes, we will help you make this happen . The JCS parent community also said yes, we hear your ideas and want to guide and support you . The students planned, pitched, and pitched again to secure funding and build what became 700 South Coffee & Apparel. When the doors opened in the fall of 2024, the entire community - students, families, and teachers - continued to say yes, again and again, by showing up and supporting 700 South.
“ “
Working with 700 South this year has been a really great opportunity as I have gotten to experience what it's like to work and manage a business. This has allowed me to undergo real circumstances that occur when working with people and has pushed me to step up to any challenge that arises...I feel so blessed that I have been able to make an impact with the 700 South businesses for the benefit of others at JCS.
- Emma Pledger, Class of 2025
PREFECT BOARD PROGRAM
Designed for select 12th-grade students, the Prefect Board Program connects student leaders with the JCS administration in pursuit of our mission: teaching the mind, reaching the heart, and inspiring servant leadership. Seniors apply to one of eight leadership roles: Senior Prefect, Spiritual Life Prefect, Academic Prefect, Athletic Prefect, Fine Arts Prefect, Advancement and Community Prefect, or Business Prefect.
The selection process includes an application, teacher recommendations, and a series of interviews with the High School Administration and former Prefects. Once chosen, each Prefect receives one-on-one mentorship from the director of their respective area (e.g., the Athletic Prefect is mentored by the Athletic Director).
In addition, each Prefect forms and leads their own board composed of one student from each grade (9th-12th), providing a unique opportunity for both mentoring and being mentored. By the end of the year, every Prefect will have made meaningful contributions to key decisions and initiatives within their area of leadership, leaving a lasting impact on the school community.

Bethany Sharp
My teachers at JCS and all of the staff were so much more than educators - they were spiritual mentors who genuinely cared about our hearts, not just our grades. Their prayers, encouragement, and constant guidance shaped me in ways that went far beyond the classroom.
“
Bethany Sharp is a proud mother of two daughters currently attending Jupiter Christian School in the 4th and 6th grades. She is the new owner and editor of The Scout Guide publication and is also an active real estate investor. A passionate advocate for her hometown, Bethany is deeply rooted in the local community and committed to its continued growth and success. Reflecting on her time as a student at Jupiter Christian School, Bethany shares, "All of my memories at JCS were amazing. It was a safe haven that sheltered me from the chaos and darkness of the world, surrounding me with faith, truth, and unwavering love." In that nurturing environment, she found the space to grow spiritually, free from the distractions of the world. Bethany actively participated in JCS’s wide range of extracurricular opportunities. Her experience as yearbook editor during her time at the school was especially formative - it led to a similar role in college and inspired her to pursue a degree in graphic design, with aspirations in magazine publishing. Today, those early experiences have come full circle, as she proudly leads a publication of her own, turning a childhood passion into a thriving career.
As an alumna of Jupiter Christian School, Bethany finds deep fulfillment in seeing her daughters walk the same halls that helped shape her faith, character, and ambition. "This school poured love, discipline, and purpose into me - and now, years later, I get to witness those same values being instilled in my daughters and their peers," she says. It’s a full-circle moment that continually affirms for her the lasting impact of a Christ-centered education.
To families considering Jupiter Christian School, Bethany offers this advice:"Get ready to fall in love...and you better get on the waitlist! Because not only is JCS the best, but we might not even have enough room for you!"
