According to Workman, a lot of work was done from that point with the first classes beginning in September 1994. Hillcrest Baptist Church hosted the elementary school classes, with Second Baptist Church housing the middle and high school classes. The classes were held in the churches until their building located off of Eagle Way Bypass was completed in the fall of 2000.Workman hopes the school will continue to be a success over the next 25 years.
Hopkinsville Mayor Carter Hendricks told students they need to recommit themselves to the ideals that make the school a success.
