From the Head of School
Dear Families and Friends of The Woodlands Christian Academy,
On behalf of our Governance Board, administration, and faculty, we are pleased to present this Report of Appreciation, summarizing highlights from the 2023-2024 school year. At Woodlands Christian, we strive to equip leaders - spiritually, intellectually, creatively, physically, and socially - to fulfill God’s purpose for each of their lives.
This was an exciting year at Woodlands Christian as we celebrated our 30th anniversary. God has abundantly blessed our community, and reflecting upon our journey this past year was humbling and encouraging. We achieved record student enrollment and began constructing an Arts Education Building and Outdoor Amphitheater with your generous support. Our students attained top scores on standardized exams, and the Class of 2024 seniors received outstanding college acceptances and meritbased college scholarship offers. They competed well in athletic, academic, and STEAM competitions, and our students amazed us with their fine arts talents and hearts for serving others.
We value our responsibility as financial stewards and are grateful for your investment in this school. We have received clean, unqualified financial audits for 18 years, and debt service is less than 1% of our operating expenses. This was a celebratory year for the fundraising efforts that enabled us to use additional fundraising dollars to enhance the campus and programs.
We hope you enjoy this Report of Appreciation that recognizes our community of supporters, focusing on the achievements from the previous year and the annual report of gifts. We are, as always, grateful for the contributions of time, talent, and treasure that we receive from you, our families, and friends at The Woodlands Christian Academy.
Serving Him,
Julie H. Ambler HEAD OF SCHOOL
THE WOODLANDS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY’S MISSION
The Woodlands Christian Academy is an independent, Christ-centered college preparatory school that integrates learning with Biblical faith and spiritual growth, and challenges students to reach their highest potential – intellectually, creatively, physically and socially – for the glory of Jesus Christ.

Our Humble Beginnings
Dr. William Parks
Thirty years ago, The Woodlands Christian Academy was established thanks to the vision and guidance of Dr. William and Debbie Parks. In the letter below, Dr. Parks expresses his story of the humble beginnings of our beloved school.
The story of The Woodlands Christian Academy began seven years before its inaugural K-6th year in 19931994. In 1987, my wife Debbie and I were appointed to a committee at The Woodlands United Methodist Church to explore the possibility of starting a Christian school. However, after six months, the committee dissolved due to space limitations at our church in Panther Creek.
Despite this setback, God had other plans (Jeremiah 29:11) and placed a strong desire in our hearts for Christian education in The Woodlands. We felt compelled to continue our search for a suitable facility. We prayed fervently and reached out to churches in The Woodlands, Oak Ridge, Tamina, and Shenandoah (Matthew 7:8). While many pastors expressed interest in starting a school, they hesitated to commit to serving the entire community. We felt God’s clear direction: His school would be open to all and not confined to just one denomination.
“
fifth year, I told the Lord, “If you want a Christian school in The Woodlands, you’ll have to open the doors!” In my pride to do His work, my selfish vision had led to failure. I needed to learn an important lesson: Pride always gets in the way. Human pride appears on almost every page of the Bible.
By the sixth year, when my passion had dwindled, God reignited the flame in my wife, Debbie. She became ‘on fire’ and picked up the torch to pursue the Lord’s direction. She reached out to Pastor Dave Anderson at Faith Community Church, who excitedly embraced our vision and agreed to host the school. With his experience in Christian education, Dave helped establish the founding board.
” Congratulations on 30 years of Christian education. It is a testament to God and your faithfulness!
A second, third, and fourth year passed with no progress and my hope began to fade. After a frustrating
Finally, in the seventh year of this dream, through hard work and divine guidance, we secured the necessary agreements, hired a principal and teachers, selected a curriculum, and announced our opening. A group of us knocked on doors in the community and called churches to secure enrollment of our first group of students before officially opening in September 1993.
TWCA Governance Board
The Governance Board of The Woodlands Christian Academy exists to ensure that our school is achieving its mission in the lives of students while prudently using the resources God has provided.
The Governance Board follows the Carver Policy Governance® Model which uses a structured monitoring system to measure the school’s progress in achieving its Ends policies as determined by the Board. By using this model, the Board is able to focus on our school’s longterm mission and vision while maintaining sound financial stewardship and integrity in relationships with families, employees, donors, accreditation agencies, and the greater community. The Governance Board hires only one employee, the Head of School, and delegates all day-to-day operations through explicit governing policies to the Head of School.
Ultimately, the Governance Board represents God and the moral owners of our school. Moral owners include parents, faculty and members of the greater Christian community who share the vision for the school and have a vested interest in its success.

Leaving a Mark
Signing of the Beams
As the sun set on Thursday, February 18, members of the TWCA community gathered to sign the beams of the new Fine Arts building. Warriors of all ages walked through the open space to write words of encouragement, scriptures, prayers, or sign their names. It was a time of dreaming about what this new building would bring to our campus. Attendees got to walk through the various rooms, each labeled with signs so that they could envision the future choir room, visual arts room, band room, black box theatre and so much more!
The building, officially named The Benjamin Wells School of the Arts, was opened on August 9, 2024, with a VIP reception and a “first look” to thank our major donors and to celebrate the closure of the Fine Arts Capital Campaign.
♫ Denotes donors who made gifts to the Fine Arts Capital Campaign totaling $50,000 or more.
“
...The arts are meant to encourage, uplift and even heal the human spirit. Ultimately, they glorify God. Our students cultivate their God-given creativity to bring Him glory!”
PHIL SWEGER, DIRECTOR OF FINE ARTS
Building Our Pillars
Thank you for so generously supporting TWCA students through the Warrior Fund, a long-standing school tradition!
The Woodlands Christian Academy reintroduced the Warrior Fund Campaign in October 2023, on the heels of the kick-off to TWCA’s yearlong 30th anniversary celebration.The campaign established new giving societies surrounding our pillars and commemorating Woodlands Christian’s 30 years!
The Warrior Fund - “Building Our Pillars” Campaign contributed to the student experience at TWCA. Generous support from TWCA community helped to ensure students are equipped spiritually, intellectually, creatively, physically, and socially to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.
Over $267,000 was raised from 284 families, friends, companies and foundations. Every dollar of the Warrior Fund goes to support each student and their educational experience – clearly defining the Warrior Way of life.
The 2023 proceeds from the Warrior Fund were designated as follows:
$101,008 SPIRITUALLY:
AREA OF GREATEST NEED
These dollars were used to increase security and safety at the school, including the installation of additional fencing on the south side of the campus.
$66,768 CREATIVELY:
FINE ARTS
We used these funds to further enhance the audio-video equipment in the new Fine Arts Building (The Benjamin Wells School of the Arts).
$51,982 INTELLECTUALLY: STEAM
Under the guidance of Dr. Mark Crenshaw, Director of STEAM, we acquired materials to provide more hands-on, project-based learning experiences for students from Pre-K–12th grade.
$29,967
SOCIALLY: NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID
These funds were made available to qualified applicants for the 2024-2025 school year. Need-based financial aid enables us to attract additional students who will make a positive impact on the school’s culture.
$26,646
PHYSICALLY: ATHLETICS
With these funds, the athletic department continues to focus on skill-building, equipment and sports medicine initiatives to build stronger and more skilled athletes while helping to protect them from injuries on the field and court.
VIP Reception
Seventy-seven families made gifts of $1,993 or more and were recognized as inaugural members of the 1993 Giving Society, appropriately named to honor the year the school was founded. Society members were invited to a celebration hosted by Karisa and Fred Gallucci at Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands in January. We are so grateful to the Gallucci’s for being the inaugural chairs and Reception Sponsor for the 1993 Giving Society!
Thank you for modeling generosity to students and for enhancing the educational experience through your support of The Warrior Fund. We are humbled and honored to serve alongside you as we inspire and equip the next generation of Christian leaders together.

From the Warrior Boosters Chairs
Serving as Warrior Boosters Chairs for TWCA over the past two years has been a true honor and joy. We’ve forged countless friendships within our school community while working diligently to support and enhance the Fine Arts and Athletic programs. The Woodlands Christian Academy laid a strong foundation for these initiatives, enabling students to discover and strengthen their God-given talents, and we see it as our duty to uphold that foundation.
As Chairs, our mission was to significantly enhance the Athletics and Fine Arts departments while maintaining the state-of-the-art facilities we’ve built over the years. We believe our team has met—and even surpassed—our goals. Thanks to our Booster supporters, we have proudly purchased new uniforms for both middle and high school teams, athletic equipment, a top-notch weight room, boys’ and girls’ locker rooms, a sports training room, and new flooring and lights in the David gym. Boosters also funded essential Fine Arts upgrades, including display boards, new microphones, and PA systems for the lower school music program and theater.
We’ve aimed to instill pride in our students and families as part of the Warrior Family and to share that enthusiasm with our community. The spirit of Warrior pride has been palpable, evidenced by record attendance at events like the Color Run, Grand Days, Crawfish Boil, and the incredible, annual Golf Tournament. We’ve also seen an unprecedented increase in Boosters memberships over the past few years. This growth reflects the hard work and dedication of the Boosters Committee and all the volunteers who contributed countless hours to planning and executing these events. Witnessing the pieces of the Boosters’ puzzle come together has shown us the power of serving alongside those who share a deep passion for our school.
In closing, we encourage all TWCA families to support Warrior Boosters by contributing in any way you can—be it time, talents, or treasures—all are vital for the growth of the Athletic and Fine Arts programs at TWCA. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our school and pray that our Athletics and Fine Arts departments continue to soar!

WARRIOR COLOR RUN
The 5th Annual Warrior Color Run was held on March 23, 2024. Over 400 runners participated in this fun, all-school event sponsored by Hunter Family Orthodontics and Parke & Rogers Dentistry.
A favorite TWCA tradition, this family-friendly event featured music and complimentary food, offering participants the choice of a 1K run looping behind the baseball field or a 5K run through the W. G. Jones State Forest. Spectators lined the course, spraying runners with vibrant colored powder, leaving them completely covered in a rainbow of color by the time they reached the finish line.
The
annual Auction
and Gala, Now & Then
- Celebrating 30 Years, was a wonderful celebration of The Woodlands Christian Academy’s 30 years. Approximately 460 guests gathered at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott on Saturday, May 4, 2024, for an evening of reflection, fun, fellowship, and fundraising.
TWCA was proud to honor Amanda and Bob Gaige as the event chairs after many years of generous support of Woodlands Christian. The Woodlands Christian Academy would also like to extend a huge thank you to the 2024 Presenting Sponsor, Marabou Midstream Services and the Dunnavant Family, Capstone Society Member, Team Reed Enterprises, Inc., the Auction and Gala Committee, and the many sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this event a special success.

The Julie Ambler Educator Impact Award
2024 Recipient: Coach Jerry Bradshaw
The Woodlands Christian Academy has been graciously endowed with a gift from a generous TWCA family to honor one full-time employee each year. This prestigious accolade, designated as The Julie Ambler Educator Impact Award, recognizes an employee who exemplifies the core values and principles of TWCA, with a $5,000 honorarium.
We were thrilled to announce the inaugural recipient of The Julie Ambler Educator Impact Award: Coach Jerry Bradshaw. Coach Bradshaw was selected for this honor due to his unwavering commitment to the spiritual and academic growth of his students. Nominated by his colleagues, he stands out as a strong Christian witness, consistently supporting, engaging, and inspiring students to reach their full potential. His dedication to fostering positive relationships with students and staff embodies the essence of TWCA’s values, making him a beloved figure within the school community.
In his role as a teacher and a coach, Jerry Bradshaw has not only motivated students but has also inspired individual transformation through his personal relationship with Christ. His passion for growth is evident, as he continually encourages students, alumni, colleagues, and the broader TWCA community to strive for excellence in all areas—spiritually, intellectually, creatively, physically, and socially. In his 20 years of service at TWCA, Coach Bradshaw has helped create an environment where students feel celebrated and valued and has reinforced the school’s mission of nurturing the whole person.
The family chose to honor Mrs. Ambler with this named endowment because of her long-standing and loyal commitment to TWCA. Her love for Jesus Christ, the school’s mission, and her affection for our faculty, staff, students, and families have been her driving force in shepherding the school to become a strong Christian pillar in the community.
“
I’m very much surprised, very humbled and very honored.
Thank you so much!
- COACH JERRY BRADSHAW
”
Colleagues, alumni/alumni families, and current families may submit nominations for this award each spring. More information and a list of criteria will be made available during open nominations.
...in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”
PTF
PARENT TEACHER FELLOWSHIP
The mission of TWCA’s Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) is to engage and motivate volunteers who are dedicated to supporting the school in fulfilling its mission and vision. They aim to foster a welcoming environment that enhances the educational experience for all students and families.
PTF has three key goals:
• To involve our families in volunteer opportunities
• To support our volunteers in delivering exceptional service
• To foster a vibrant and supportive community among our school families
Each year, PTF volunteers for countless activities, hosts teacher appreciation events, provides snacks and decorations, serves as liaisons for each grade, and provides fellowship and discipleship opportunities for parents through Moms in Prayer and All-In Dads.
We are extremely thankful for the support the PTF provides in shaping the culture of TWCA.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTF supplies snacks and goodies for all faculty and staff. This year, they also provided lunch to celebrate “Nacho Average Teachers”.
PTF hosted a playdate for newly admitted TWCA families, giving them a chance to visit campus, meet other families and form friendships before starting school in the Fall.
Last November, over 100 Warrior moms and their sons joined us for the annual Mother-Son Paintball Battle at Texas Legends Paintball. The day was filled with lots of fun playing paintball with each other and, afterward, enjoying refreshing snow cones. A special thank you to Corporate Incentives for providing the t-shirts!
Butterfly Ball in

The Woodlands Christian Academy is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization. Tax ID #76-0391401. Your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Ways to Give
Since the beginning days of The Woodlands Christian Academy, generous families, friends, corporations have been dedicated to its growth and success. Most donations are made to the school via cash or credit card. However, there are additional ways for contributions to be made in support of the school. Please confer with your financial advisor to determine which method is best for you.
APPRECIATED SECURITIES
The Woodlands Christian Academy accepts donations of appreciated securities from its donors. In most cases, donors can minimize or eliminate capital gains tax liability on the appreciated stock by making this transfer and maximizing their gift in support of the school.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) have increased in popularity with donors recently, becoming a more common method of giving to non-profit organizations such as The Woodlands Christian Academy. Donors contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a giving account and receive an immediate tax deduction. Sundds are invested for taxfree growth, and donors can then recommend grants to non-profit organizations like TWCA now or over time.
IRA DISTRIBUTION
If you are 70 ½ or older, you may be able to contribute an amount of up to $100,000 each year from your IRA directly to The Woodlands Christian Academy as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). QCSs are excluded from taxable income.
MATCHING GIFTS
Over 24,000 organizations match the gifts of their employees, retirees, or spouses of employees to qualified non-profit organizations such as The Woodlands Christian Academy. Donors who facilitate these matching gifts are recognized for the combined impact of their gift and that of their employer. When making your gift online to the school, you may automatically check to see if your organization matches gifts and submit your gift to match through our online portal - Double the Donation.
PLANNED GIFTS
Planned giving is a way for you to support the school at a future date through personal financial and estate planning. While most planned gifts contribute to organizations through bequests (wills or trusts), other financial options can be utilized to meet your financial plans, including some that can provide income during your lifetime. In addition to benefiting the school, planned gifts can minimize the tax burden of your heirs.
