“My daughter met with her Cultural Perspectives professor at Samford University to review for the final essay. He said he has never seen a student more prepared in their writing skills and presentation than she is, and that she was the first student to ever earn a 100 on a paper in his class. I appreciate the strong foundation that North Cobb Christian has provided. She was more than prepared for college.” NCCS Alumni Parent
