Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution to us! What are volunteer grant programs? Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. If you volunteer with us, it's an easy way to provide us with additional financial support! What counts as volunteer work? Activities eligible for volunteer grants may include: Event Volunteering Skill-based Volunteering Volunteer Committees Administrative Volunteering How is this information obtained? We partner with a company called Double the Donation . If you see anything that should be changed, please email Double the Donation's team at data@doublethedonation.com How do I request a matching gift or volunteer grant? Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is normally a five-minute process that must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database for company-specific information. How do I submit a matching gift? Donate to a nonprofit. Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page). Once logged in, search for the nonprofit that you donated to. Select the appropriate nonprofit from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter the organization's details.

What if I submit my matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page?

The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process. Are matching gifts and volunteer grants tax-deductible? While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction.

Tuition “ELCA continues to be a special place in my heart. With five children attending ELCA, it’s a blessing to see the teachers pour into them day in and day out. Not only do they teach them about Jesus and help educate them, but they also participate in my children’s lives outside of school. The teachers come to their baseball games and football games on the weekends; they call and text when my children are sick. I just love the family atmosphere that my children get to experience, and that I experienced as a student myself.” - Ashley Cash, ELCA Class of 2005 and mom of five current ELCA students Schedule a Tour Today Ready to provide your child with a Christ-centered education at a school where they can thrive?

While these awards mark incredible achievement, our goal is to use athletics as a tool for character development through teaching, coaching, and modeling Jesus Christ in all aspects of sportsmanship. PREPARATION FOR GRADUATION, COLLEGE, AND BEYOND Our Guidance and Academic Counseling Office provides academic counseling services for all high school students in grades 9-12. Students can attend curriculum nights throughout the school year and receive course advisement from an academic team member, with each student assigned an individual advisor for course registration. Students are encouraged to ask questions as they choose their academic path for the following school year based on teacher recommendations and interests. Here is an overview of what you can expect by grade level. 9th Grade At the beginning of the year, a Guidance and Academic Counselor spends time in the classroom with students, sharing graduation requirements, college admissions information, freshman year timeline, and extracurricular activities. Our counselor also prepares an individualized graduation plan template, which helps them keep track of their courses, grades, and activities, as well as provides information on how to research colleges. Students are encouraged to review results and areas of weakness from the PSAT/Pre ACT tests, sign up for our SAT/ACT prep courses, and begin monitoring their GPA. 10th Grade During the advisement registration process, we suggest students take the most rigorous courses they can while still being successful. We also encourage students to review their graduation plan while we help to keep them focused on their goals by providing them a sophomore year timeline. Students begin researching colleges and majors that may interest them and are encouraged to begin touring colleges and meeting with college representatives that visit our campus. GPA monitoring, PSAT/Pre ACT test reviews, and SAT/ACT prep course sign-ups are also recommended. 11th Grade While actively continuing with their graduation plan, juniors will be provided with a junior/senior year timeline as well. Beginning in the second semester, the Guidance and Academic Counselor provides each junior with a “Best Test Letter,” to assist students in understanding which college entrance test will be most beneficial for them; our academic team uses a student's historical data to reveal their testing aptitude. Students are encouraged to begin taking the SAT and/or ACT in the spring (and continue taking the test until they are satisfied with their score). Additionally, the College Placement Counselor assists students in identifying interests, colleges, scholarship opportunities, and possible careers. In late spring, each junior will have the opportunity to meet individually with their College Placement Counselor in preparation for the college application season. To help students in their quest for outstanding college application recommendations, our College Placement Counselor provides each student with their unique “Brag Sheet." This sheet helps both teachers and counselors as they are called upon to provide letters of recommendation as our students begin applying to some of our nation's most prestigious colleges and universities. 12th Grade Students seamlessly transition from their 11th-grade expectations to senior year, guided by a comprehensive timeline. They refine their graduation plan, leveraging it as a valuable tool throughout their college application process. In August, a dedicated "Senior Transition" night is held for both parents and students, offering crucial insights into college admissions procedures, essay crafting, and securing outstanding letters of recommendation, as well as highlighting upcoming senior festivities and graduation. Meanwhile, the College Placement Counselor initiates personalized meetings with each 12th grader, providing tailored support during the pivotal college application phase. As acceptances and scholarships roll in, counselors proudly showcase these achievements on our vibrant "Oh Baby the Places You Will Go" board, fostering a spirit of celebration and inspiration across the student body. ENCOURAGING SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH High school can be a challenging season as teens are balancing ways to grow in their faith, build community, and understand the long-term impact their actions will have on future goals. We guide our students through this time by: inspiring compassion through meaningful service work and annual mission trips. Students participate in outreach to others in need, such as through Operation Christmas Child, Sunrise Cafe, local food bank distributions, and sponsoring children from other countries. building support through peer accountability groups High school students cultivate confidence and self-esteem as they forge positive connections with peers, all while nurturing their spiritual growth and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. fostering leadership development with student tutoring opportunities . Our high school students are afforded a distinctive chance to engage in our peer tutoring initiative, where they develop leadership skills and gain invaluable insights into the responsibilities of employment, all while fostering an environment of encouragement and collective success.

Joining the Booster Club is a great way to support the student-athletes and the teams that represent ELCA Athletics. ELCA has a rich and proud tradition of excellence on and off the playing fields. The ELCA Booster Club’s financial contributions have made great impacts on all the ELCA sports teams and the many athletes that have participated in our programs throughout the years. By joining the ELCA Athletic Boosters you will be helping fund opportunities for our ever-developing sports programs. Our recent projects include the resurface of the track and the funding for the new hitting facility! There are many different levels of sponsorship available so that you can help support ELCA Athletics. Each one is designed to meet the needs you may have as either a Corporate Sponsorship or an Individual/Family Sponsorship. All membership levels include two (2) free entries into all the sporting events held on the campus here at ELCA. Joining the ELCA Booster Club is the only way that you can get in free to all the athletic events on campus. The only exclusion would be all GHSA playoff games in the respective sports. You will also get a minimum of two Homecoming Dinner tickets. Maybe you would want to know where you will sit at the football games, we have a level for that starting with our Bronze level. Maybe you would like to advertise your business; we have a few levels (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) which can help you with that. Seating in the Blue Booster section at the stadium is premium seating. We need to show our support for ELCA Football by filling it up each game. We will offer with the bronze level and above the ability to purchase extra seats for $75.00 a seat for the whole season. So, if you need more than the two seats that come with the membership you can now purchase more with this option. This is reduced from past years. Priority will be given first to renewals from last year and then new requests based on the date we receive the form. We would appreciate your support and you can see the attached form to join. Just send it in with your child and we can bill your account for your membership. This year we have added to the bottom of our membership form a pay in three payments line. Just check that line if you would like for us to bill you in three payments. We understand at the start of the new school year that expenses add up and we hope that the new payment in three can be of assistance to your family.

We embrace the philosophy that a team approach is essential to reach a successful end. Here you will find resources for testing, college planning and admissions, and financial aid. Parents can be active participants in the college exploration and application process. You should visit campuses with your child and participate in programs offered by admission offices. Other ways to be involved are: making certain your child has been thorough in his/her search; reviewing the admission and financial aid applications and offering guidance in their completion; making certain that tasks get completed and forms are submitted on time; being the support and counselor when decisions are made. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF AIMS TO: Meet with students and parents to identify colleges of interest that complement the student’s academic, extracurricular, and spiritual desires.

Process application materials including transcripts, counselor evaluations, teacher recommendations, and additional components for admission and scholarship applications. Inform students about upcoming college representative visits and college fairs. Guide students on the process of registering for college entrance exams and sending test scores to colleges.

STANDARDIZED TESTING PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) The PSAT is given in October to all students in grades 9 - 11. The test is used for practice for the SAT and Honors/AP level placement in the High School. ELCA registers all students for the test. PSAT score reports are normally returned after Christmas break. Going over the test – question by question – is a valuable way to improve SAT scores. Students who have questions about their score report should talk with the Academic Dean or Director of College Placement and Guidance.

This list is not exhaustive. Students can go to any person within the school to discuss psychological/emotional/spiritual issues. Notwithstanding, this network provides adults on campus who are available to assist as needed. Predominantly, these individuals will connect the student with resources in which the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Most importantly, though, the goal of this network is to glorify God. He is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6), Great Healer (Psalm 103:3), Eternal Helper (John 14:16) Restorer of the Broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3) and Keeper of Perfect Peace (Isaiah 26:3). Our staff is committed to assisting our students and their families by pointing them to the only ONE who can truly meet their needs. Through these resources, the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Members of the Support Network represent a school-wide commitment to improve mental health recognition and to provide beneficial resources in supporting students who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or eating disorders. We are excited to discover more ways to impact our students to ensure their positive well-being. ELCA does not tolerate bullying, harassment, or intimidation of any sort. Principals and the school counselor will thoroughly assess and intervene any such suspicions. Many preventative efforts are made through our Kingdom Educational foundation and Biblical Worldview approach to behavioral expectations. Our chapel services, Unity Counsel, Student government accountability groups, and more each promote proper treatment of others. Any deviation is quickly identified and addressed. In any instance whereby child abuse or neglect is suspected, the staff member will immediately notify a principal and/or the School Counselor. The student will be evaluated and referred to the governmental authorities as determined appropriate by these individuals and as consistent with Mandatory Reporting laws. Mandated Reporters are not required to notify guardians of an official report of child abuse or neglect. ELCA will disclose this information as deemed safe and appropriate.

ELCA World Impact extends curriculum beyond the classroom to provide our ELCA families with cultural, educational, and ministerial experiences both locally and globally. The purposes for World Impact MISSION trips are to build true disciples of Jesus Christ and to foster opportunities for these disciples to impact the world with the Gospel. Students are mobilized to go beyond the classroom and the community of McDonough. The endeavors purposefully partner with ministries established in other regions of the country and world. The purpose for World Impact NON-MISSION (academic/adventure) trips is to expose students to educational venues outside of a traditional classroom. Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy is built upon a framework of Kingdom Education and these trips aim to highlight unique parts of the world that God has created for His glory and our enjoyment.

After 3:00PM on May 2, any student who has not paid the deposit will be replaced by a student on the waitlist. Mission trips require a "trip application".
