FAITH BY THE
NUMBERS
A BRIEF HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
consistent and healthy growth.
Faith Baptist Church was
established in January of 1965
with 27 charter members. One
burden that weighed on the
hearts of the charter members
was the need for Christian
education in Randolph County.
The school presently employs 43
faculty and staff people, including
28 teachers from grades 3K to
12. Longevity in personnel is a
hallmark at Faith to which only
the Lord Jesus Christ can be
credited.
The church incorporated in
order to make the preparations
to establish a school. Under the
direction of Faith’s first pastor,
Rev. Richard Gray, the school
began operating in September of
1968. Faith Christian School was
one of the first Christian schools
in North Carolina’s modern
Christian school movement.
HISTORY OF THE TOWN
In the early years, the school
experienced multiple leadership
changes. In the first twelve years
of the school’s existence there
were nine administrator changes
until Bill Hohneisen (BJU class of
1969) was hired from among the
faculty to guide the school in
1981. Over two decades later,
Faith has experienced solid,
The motto of the Town of
Ramseur, North Carolina is “The
Finest Little Town in the
World.” First settled by the
Catawba Indians, William Allen
purchased land in the area
following the Revolutionary
War.
In 1840, the Allen land began to
be sold as small lumber and
cotton mills began to appear
along the Deep River, which
runs through the town.
Originally called Allen’s Falls, the
town’s name became Columbia
after Columbia Manufacturing
Company built a cotton mill in
the town.
A further name
change became necessary when
the town’s mail was consistently
mishandled and often sent to
Columbia, South Carolina. Mr.
Melvin Watkins persuaded the
town to adopt the name
“Ram seu r” i n h on or of
Confederate Major General
Stephen D. Ramseur under
whom Watkins had served in the
Civil War.
Today the town has 1,400
residents, 8 churches in the
town limits (32 within a 5 mile
radius), 9 restaurants, 59
businesses, 12 industrial plants,
and 4 schools including Faith
Christian School.

FAITH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL’S
COMPUTER PHILOSOHPY
We respect the right of some Christian schools to advocate the minimal use of
computers in the Christian educational process. We do understand the dangers of the
Internet and the cost of maintaining computers.
At Faith we believe that the computer is a tool to be used to its fullest capacity. Over
the years, FCS has developed an entire 16 acre campus that is networked to a Windows
2003 server. Some of the buildings are connected via fiber optics. We use School
Dynamics Software which allows our teachers to be 100% computerized for lesson
plans, gradebook, taking lunch orders, communicating with parents via e-mail,
communicating with each other via announcement module, attendance, and discipline.
Our software also uploads this information to the Worldwide Web where parents have
constant access to their child’s information. Teachers have a networked computer at
their desks for their convenience.
Each student and teacher are licensed to use Office 365 online with unlimited storage is a
personal One Drive for Business account. Students who are thirteen years and older are
entitled to download the entire Office 2013 Suite to up to fifteen devices: five copies on
desktops or laptops; five copies on tablets; five copies on Smartphones. As the year
progresses, our students are continually learning who business in done in the electronic
world and should be well suited to compete.
Our older students are also afforded the opportunity to be trained in using the
Professional version of InDesign. This is the program that is used to compile the
yearbook, but each student is given an opportunity to learn the basic of this powerful
program.

Our Agreement Together
We have read and understand the Parent/Student Handbook and we are in agreement with the
policies set forth. We give the school permission for my child to take part in all school activities,
including sports activities and school-sponsored trips away from the school premises. We further agree
to hold the school and its agents harmless for any liability to my child or guardian or parent thereof
because of any claims on behalf of my child against the school or any agent thereof because of any
injury or alleged injury to my child. Should legal action, for any reason, be taken against the school or
any employee or agent thereof on my child's behalf and the school or its agent not be found at fault, we
agree to pay any attorney fees, court fees, damages or other costs that the school or its agent should
incur to defend itself against such action. Should legal action be required to collect my account should it
become delinquent, we agree to pay any attorney's fees, collection fees, or court fees that the school or
its agents should incur.
We agree to uphold and support the high academic standards of the School by providing a place at
home for our child to study and by giving our child encouragement in the completion of homework and
assignments.
We recognize that for our child to make good progress in his work, it is essential that he have
confidence in his teacher and the school. Therefore, we will do all in our power to see that our child
respects and obeys the school staff and standards. We agree that if our child should become involved in
any difficulty with other children, teachers, or staff in the school, we will refrain from complaining to any
parent, but with prayerful Christian spirit will register complaints with the teacher or principal.
We shall endeavor to support and uphold the principles, practices, and educational policies of the
school in every way.
This statement of cooperation will be in effect for as long as my children attend the school.
