The 2024-2025 Senior Class is officially Hartfield graduates, but we cannot let them embark on the next step of God's journey for their lives without a few words of encouragement from their favorite faculty and staff from Hartfield!
Michelle Rankin - "Class of 2025, you are a mighty group! It was such a privilege to serve alongside you in the Dominican Republic and see your heart for the Lord and for His people there. As you step into this next chapter—whether it's college or work—hold on to the same compassion, resilience, and faith that guided you on our trip, and you will make such an impact in the world."
Coach Goodman - "Keep God first in everything you do and let Him guide your path! Proverbs 3:5-6"

Amy Hunt - "Always remember Proverbs 3:5-6- "Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. In all your way acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight." It applies to every aspect of life- from the smallest steps on your path to the largest. He will never steer you in the wrong direction."
Leslie Lee - "Be the One. Don’t forget to have gratitude. Your rights come from God, not the government. You can make a difference. And, don’t forget, avoid pumpkin spice. It is evil."
Carrie Kimball - "You have accomplished much - look back and thank God for His sustaining and providing for you! So very proud of you!!! Think on areas that the Lord has shown you the need to repent and to grow more in the image of Jesus. You are opening a new chapter - embrace and enjoy and learn! Stand firm on the Word of God - never do anything except your best to the glory of God! "The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." (Ephesians 1:3–6) Know you are LOVED and we are always cheering for you! GoHawks! Isaiah 40, 27-31, mounting up with wings, MrsK"
Melissa Cole - "It has been a joy to witness the work the Lord has done in each of your lives during your time at Hartfield. Know that your teachers are so proud of you as you seek God's wisdom for the future. We are trusting that you will serve Jesus with all your heart and will make a huge kingdom impact in the years ahead. "
Timothy Gatewood - "Every significant spiritual revival in American history has been led by college aged men and women. You are about to gain a tremendous amount of cultural influence, but many students fail to recognize this opportunity. Choose the good, and God may be pleased to use you for great things – namely, the glory of Christ and the benefit of your fellow man. It's been a joy to teach y'all apologetics. I'm excited to see how you continue represent Hartfield on your campuses. God bless!"
Jim DeLaughter - "The Lord is with you wherever you go. If you go to Heavens, He is there. If you go to the depths of the sea, He is there. Continue to learn to trust in His eternal goodness and find rest."
Ben Jeanfreau - "Dear Seniors, Some of you may have learned Chemistry from me. Some of you may have learned something interesting during Random, Ridiculous Questions. I pray that each of you has learned about the glory of God in creation and about the grace of God in salvation. Love God. Love others. Be blessed!"
