The StoneBridge Class of 2025 graduated surrounded by their families, friends, and members of the StoneBridge faculty and community, Thursday, May 22, at Liberty Live Church in Hampton, Va. Watch this year’s Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches, view graduation photos, and watch the full commencement ceremony.
Every year at StoneBridge, one student from grades 8th-12th grade is awarded a high academic honor exemplifying outstanding Christian scholarship and character. Read to find out who the award recipients are for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Many Christian students just out of high school may find themselves trying to navigate the challenges of living out their faith in a secular world. Fortunately for many students like Chris Kostrzewa, SBS Class of 2017, StoneBridge taught him how to face these challenges with confidence and compassion.
The statistics are overwhelming that growing up in a household without a father many times leads to a child’s negative well-being and life adversity. Undoubtedly, our society understands the incredible negative impact of an absent father, but what is more difficult to recognize is the immediate and long-term effects on an otherwise available, yet uninvolved father.Â
True thankfulness invokes a change in attitude, a posture of gratitude, and a true realization of what has been done for you. One of the special things about playing volleyball at my school is that my dad is the coach. I have always been vaguely aware of the sacrifices he makes to coach the team, but it was not until this year when I realized how truly grateful I am for the impact he has had on me.
The number one concern for many Christian parents is whether their children will stay rooted in their faith once they face the rigors and challenges of life beyond high school. Are there practical steps parents and children can take so they’re not swayed by anti-biblical ideas in college and beyond? We asked four SBS alumni how they kept (and are keeping) their faith after StoneBridge.
