History

Cascade Christian High School was founded in 1977 by Grace Christian Schools, originally a ministry of the First Baptist Church, and was housed at the historic Jacksonville School building for over ten years. The school's first graduating class was in 1981, but Grace Christian Schools turned the high school over to a group of dedicated parents to operate it separately. [2]

Athletics

Cascade Christian's high school athletic program began around the time the school did in 1977. The mascot is known as the "Challengers" and the team colors are purple and gold. The "Challenger" is a warrior-type character based out of the Bible. The athletic director is Nate Mayben.
