Takoma Academy Graduates Beat Scholarship Record

Story by Ron Mills

The Takoma Academy (TA) Class of 2014’s recent accomplishments added to an already impressive year of achievements for the school.

The class made history by receiving $3,381,340 in scholarship offers––more than any class in the history of the school. Eighty-five percent of the 52 graduates also completed early admissions to 200 colleges and universities.

The graduates were further encouraged from the graduation speakers––U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black and David Daniels, a former TA Principal.

On Sabbath, Black delivered a sermon titled “Simply the Best,” and encouraged the students to always prepare themselves to be excellent in whatever they chose to do.

In the commencement address, Daniels, now the head of the Boarding and Day School Program for the Commonweal Foundation, told the seniors that no one can take the promise God has for them as long as they wait patiently on Him and stay faithful.
