North Florida Christian High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Florida Christian School is a private school located in Tallahassee, Florida. It was founded in 1966 by Pastor Rayburn Blair. It has classes from K3 to 12th grade, and it serves students from several counties in north Florida and South Georgia. Dr. Randy Ray is now the school president, and Dr. Rick Fielding is the school administrator.

The school is in connection with North Florida Baptist Church, formally known as Temple Baptist Church. Pastor Blair founded the church in 1962 and retired in 1992. Dr. Randy Ray became pastor at that time. In 2005, the church was renamed North Florida Baptist Church.

The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS), and the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA).

NFCS also has a strong athletics program with football, track and field, baseball, basketball, volleyball, cross country, tennis, golf, and softball. Five state championships have been won in football, including a state-record tying four consecutive championships, and two state championships have been won in baseball. In 2006, the girl's varsity basketball team was State Runner-up, coached by Aaron Krause.
