Providence Classical Academy, a Christian Classical High School in Bossier Parish, dominated this year’s Louisiana High School Rally Association (http://lhsra.org) at both the district and state levels for their division.
Earlier this year, PCA received the Sweepstakes Award for Division V at Louisiana Tech University for the district competition with 22 students placing in various subjects.
The Louisiana High School Rally Association (LHSRA) is a voluntary, non-profit, educational association of middle and junior units of a school (i.e. 8-12 grades in a K-12 school or ninth grade centers), home schools, and senior high schools that are recognized by the State Department of Louisiana and the colleges and universities that coordinate the district and state competitions each year. The purpose of LHSRA is to provide opportunities for students to achieve a greater awareness of the importance of education in these critical times and gain a renewed determination to develop their talents to the maximum by promoting keen competition and a desire for excellence, and in recognizing academic endeavors on a statewide level. Furthermore, it is an enlightened way of recognizing and rewarding students who excel in that for which all schools are primarily established, academic pursuits.
