🦁 Introducing Our New Principal: Pastor Ryan T. Perkins! 🦁

Lakeside Christian Academy is thrilled to announce the appointment of Pastor Ryan T. Perkins as our new Principal. A passionate Kingdom leader, educator, and visionary, Mr. Perkins brings over two decades of pastoral and community leadership to our school family.

As the Senior Pastor of Pure In Heart Worship Center, Mr. Perkins has faithfully led countless individuals in their spiritual walk. His impact extends far beyond the church walls, with outreach efforts on local college campuses and national faith movements like the Read Your Bible Initiative.

Mr. Perkins’ calling began at just 19 years old, when he surrendered his life to Christ and launched a campus ministry at Southern University. He has served as a Bible and History teacher, chapel speaker, and coach for both girls’ and boys’ basketball teams, always emphasizing faith, integrity, and character. A John Maxwell Certified Life Coach, Mr. Perkins is dedicated to mentoring young men and women, equipping them with the tools to walk confidently in their faith and purpose.

Mr. Perkins is a Northlake Christian graduate, and holds a Bachelor’s degree in History, a Master’s degree in Social Work, and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Ministry at South College. His life motto, “Be for others what they weren’t for you,” drives his servant leadership and reflects his heart for impacting lives for Christ.

He and his wife, Taylor Perkins, have been married for 17 years. Together, they have 6 biological children and 5 special family members given by the grace of God!

As he steps into this new role as Principal of Lakeside Christian Academy, Mr. Perkins is committed to raising lions in the faith—bold, Christ-centered leaders who are equipped academically, spiritually, and emotionally to impact the world for God’s glory.

We are incredibly blessed to welcome Mr. Perkins to the LCA family. His heart for Christ, passion for education, and vision for the next generation make him the perfect leader for this new season of growth and purpose at Lakeside Christian Academy.

🦁 Please join us in welcoming Mr. Perkins to his new role! 🦁

On Friday, May 9, 2025 at 6:30 PM, we will be hosting our inaugural "Passing the Torch" ceremony, a remarkable new tradition that celebrates the journey of our students as they transition into new phases of their academic careers.

There will be special moments of acknowledgement for our 8th and 11th graders as they open the commencement ceremony for the Class of 2025! Our 8th grade students will receive their Class of 2029 stole and the seniors will pass a physical golden torch to each junior as they step up to lead the student body as the next senior class.

This is more than just an event—it’s a powerful expression of what we stand for at LCA: legacy, faith, and the impact of each individual as they grow, lead, and influence the world around them.

Our seniors will be celebrated and honored by all in attendance and will be commissioned for the next chapter of their lives by Pastor Ryan Perkins.

LCA's campus will remain closed this Week for Easter Break. Classes will resume Tuesday, April 22. Lakeside will be closed on Easter Monday, April 21.
______________

As we enter Holy Week, we pause to reflect on the profound truth at the heart of our faith: that Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, bore the weight of our sin, conquered death, and rose victorious so that we might have eternal life. Easter is not just a celebration—it is the foundation of our hope, the anchor of our joy, and the promise that redemption is possible for all who believe. At Lakeside Christian Academy, we are honored to walk alongside your family in a community rooted in this resurrection truth. May this week stir awe in our hearts and deepen our gratitude for the immeasurable love of our risen Savior.

We are excited to share that our administration recently attended the Abeka Principal’s Clinic in Pensacola, FL, for professional development. This enriching experience provided us with hands-on training at Pensacola Christian Academy, equipping us with valuable insights and strategies to enhance our school’s operations and academic programs.
During the clinic, we participated in various sessions, including:

• Christian School Philosophy: Exploring the foundational principles that guide effective Christian education.
• Integrating a Biblical Worldview into Academics: Learning methods to seamlessly incorporate biblical perspectives into our curriculum.
• Conducting Effective Parent-Teacher Meetings: Gaining techniques to foster better communication and collaboration with parents.
• Classroom Tours and Observations: Observing experienced educators to gather practical classroom management and instructional strategies.

AND SO MUCH MORE!

These sessions have provided us with practical tools and renewed inspiration to make the upcoming school year our best yet. We are committed to implementing these strategies to enhance our students’ learning experiences and spiritual growth at Lakeside!

📣 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED SATURDAY! 📣

A church from St. Bernard Parish heard of our difficult year following the Tornados last April. They recently acquired a school that will not continue operating and is left with a school full of hardly used equipment and supplies.

They reached out and offered us enough stuff to fill a U-Haul Truck or two full of things that LCA could make great use of! Books, Shelving, Desks, Locking Cabinets, White Boards and so much more--all in excellent condition!

A Volunteer Day is planned for Saturday, April 12th to retrieve supplies from St. Bernard and bring it to a storage building we own here in Slidell.

We are asking for all hands on deck for this Volunteer Day! However, due to the nature of the physical labor involved, please do not bring small children.

This is the time to ask the dads, uncles and brothers to come show off their strength! There will be plenty of items students and women can help with, also.
We will meet at LCA at 8:30 am and caravan as a group.

Students that participate will receive Service Hours to be included on their official transcripts and reports cards!

If you are interested in signing up for this Volunteer Day -- please let us know here:

🦁 Meet Our New Vice Principal for the 2025-2026 school year! 🦁

We are excited to introduce someone very special to the Lakeside Christian Academy family—our new Vice Principal—Monique Wells!

As a proud Slidell resident for almost 30 years, she brings not only experience but deep community roots and a heart for Christian education. She’s been married to her husband, Jeremy, for 10 wonderful years, and together they’re raising four incredible kids—Joseph (15), Aileigh (14), Preston (8), and Logan (6). Their family also owns Fortitude CrossFit, which they’ve run for the past 12 years!

Her journey at Lakeside began 2.5 years ago as a substitute teacher. That soon turned into two years of classroom teaching, and now she steps into leadership with a passion for excellence, a love for learning, and a deep belief in the mission of LCA—a mission her family has wholeheartedly supported since enrolling Preston in 2021.

She’s a faithful member of The Rock Church (her family’s church home for generations) and carries strong Cajun roots from Church Point, Louisiana. A graduate of Church Point High School, she also studied at ULL and LSUE before returning to Slidell in 2008. A self-proclaimed nerd, she loves all things math and reading—traits that make her an exceptional educator and leader.

Please help us welcome Mrs. Wells into her new role as Vice Principal with joy and celebration as she begins this exciting new chapter!

Green Eggs & Ham breakfast to wrap up Dr. Seuss week! 🥓🍳

Green Eggs & Ham breakfast to wrap up Dr. Seuss week! 🥓🍳

More “4th Quarter Day” fun! Assembly was led by Mrs. Walls and Pastor Ben encouraging everyone to give it their best and let all they do be an act of worship to the Lord.

Students got to wear their eye black stickers all day to get ready for field day where the teachers vs student tug-a-war rematch was had (and won by the teachers AGAIN!)

Along with it being the final day of Dr. Seuss week for our lower school. It was a great day for LCA and we’re ready to FINISH STRONG!

Here are more verses to remember this quarter!

🦁🦁🦁

Proverbs 13:4 – “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.”

Ecclesiastes 9:10 – “Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.”

Psalm 37:5 – “Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.”

Galatians 6:9 – “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”

Lakeside celebrated “4th Quarter Day!” on Friday! This was a way to remind the students to get their heads in the game and finish strong. We had an all-school pep rally to start the day and an end-of-day Field Day with capture the flag, spirit sidelines, Tug-a-war and more!

🏈🦁💛

Keep these verses in your back pockets for the rest of the quarter!

Colossians 3:23-24 – “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”

Philippians 4:13 – “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
