Letter from the Athletic Director
The primary goal of the Metrolina Christian athletic program is to faithfully project the image of Christ. All athletes, coaches, and individuals involved in the program must be committed to this mission. We must pursue excellence through hard work, hard play, and honoring Christ in all we pursue. We want to continue to provide the best athletic experience for the students of Metrolina Christian Academy. While we will always compete with the intent to win, we understand that many victories will be achieved off the field in the lives of our athletes when Christ is our focus.
