Head of School at Maranatha High School
About the Employer
MARANATHA’S MISSION: We champion a Christ-centered, university preparatory education to equip the whole student through academics, arts, athletics, and service for the glory of God. MARANATHA’S VISION: Maranatha is a Christian university preparatory school of the highest caliber that develops and supports students as they seek and achieve excellence in their diverse interests and passions. Commitment to a Mission: Maranatha High School has served the San Gabriel Valley for 50 years, and in 2004, the school acquired a permanent campus in the heart of Pasadena. The campus has a renovated Academic Center, a Student Center, a state-of-the-art athletic field with lights, a natatorium, a collegiate gymnasium, an outdoor amphitheater and several other facilities that enhance the high school experience. As attractive as the beautifully landscaped campus is, Maranatha is not defined by its dramatic architecture or picturesque grounds, but rather by our commitment to a mission that seeks to embrace the unique differences of each student. Maranatha stimulates the pursuit of excellence in an enriched environment of intellectual curiosity from a Biblical worldview. Maranatha provides an exceptional education for students desiring an opportunity to be fully equipped to pursue higher education. The school’s outstanding faculty provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, which cultivates within each student the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful college career. In addition to promoting academic excellence, our faculty and staff also nurture Christian character in our young men and women and encourage a commitment to community service.
