Kyle McVey: New Athletic Director!
In January, North Cobb Christian School launched a nationwide search for our next Director of Athletics, drawing an outstanding pool of highly qualified candidates. One candidate stood out above the rest in his alignment with NCCS’s unwavering commitment to a Christ-centered, championship-caliber athletics program. We are thrilled to announce that Kyle McVey has accepted the position of Director of Athletics at NCCS, effective July 1.
A Chicago native and lifelong product of Christian education, Kyle graduated from Schaumburg Christian School before earning his bachelor’s degree in education from Bob Jones University and a master’s degree in sports management from Liberty University. He returned to Schaumburg Christian, serving as Director of Athletics for 10 years. In that time, he transformed the school’s athletic program—expanding teams and offerings, galvanizing coaches around the priority of Christian discipleship, leading the school into the Illinois High School Association, developing elementary leagues and feeder programs, and building a strong athletic brand that consistently attracted college scholarship opportunities for student-athletes. Kyle also coached across multiple sports, including basketball, soccer, and baseball.
Kyle then joined New College of Florida in Sarasota in 2023 as Assistant Athletic Director and Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach. There, he helped launch the college’s intercollegiate athletic program, guiding the school’s entrance into the NAIA and Sun Conference. Under his leadership, New College added eleven sports in two years, with seven more set to launch this fall. As Assistant Basketball Coach, Kyle helped establish a team culture grounded in love, service, and competitive excellence. In just its second season, the team doubled its win total and earned a spot in conference playoffs.
Kyle’s vision for athletics at NCCS is both bold and deeply rooted in faith: “To love Jesus well, love others well, and strategically develop programs and athletes who compete at a very high level.” He believes that when authentic discipleship is integrated with elite athletics, transformation happens—not just in teams, but across an entire school community. “That’s the heartbeat of who I am and who I believe North Cobb Christian School is,” he shares. “We have so many people who are ready to go. So let’s take off—let’s fly!”
Kyle and his wife, Cindy—his high-school sweetheart—have been married for 12 years. Kyle jokes that he fell for her a couple of years before the feeling was mutual. They are the proud parents of a 10-month-old daughter, Malia.
Please join us in giving a heartfelt welcome to Kyle McVey and his family as they become part of the Eagle Family. We can’t wait to see all God will do through his leadership at NCCS!
Wreath Laying at Arlington
Our 8th-grade students had a once-in-a-lifetime experience today, as they were honored to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Our students were reverent as they participated in this reminder that our freedom is not free.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier serves as a national place of commemoration, honoring all military members throughout American history. The act of laying a wreath at the tomb has been performed by presidents, dignitaries, and war heroes as a way to honor and remember the sacrifices of American service members who died in the service of their country.
We are grateful for the sacrifices of so many and honored to participate in this timeless tradition for our nation.
Gratitude Banquet
Raising servant leaders! From K3 to 4th grade, our Lower School students are learning to lead through serving others. This week, our students hosted the annual Gratitude Banquet to honor and bless so many people who support, protect, and love our school family well.
Funded entirely by money raised by our students themselves, this year’s banquet featured the infamous chicken and French toast from @marietta_local. Guests were each hosted individually by an attentive 4th-grade student, who recently completed a manners unit in class, and every bit of the morning, from the centerpieces to the praise and worship, was student-created and led.
We are so proud of our students for stepping up to bless others through their gratitude. What a beautiful life skill to cultivate at a young age!
LGPE (& Results!)
It’s Large Group Performance Evaluation season for our student instrumentalists, who diligently prepare for these challenging judged evaluations. For the evaluation, three songs are performed for three judges, and then a piece is sightread, which students have never seen before. Our band and orchestras all came away with Superior ratings, including a perfect score! To receive such high scores is an impressive honor and immense accomplishment, speaking to the exceptional standards of the NCCS Instrumental Arts program.
RESULTS:
Band LGPE | The NCCS Band earned a Superior rating from all judges, AND they received straight A’s in every category (tone, musicality, etc.) from every judge on every piece!!
Upper School Orchestra LGPE | The NCCS US Orchestra also received a superior rating, with two judges awarding our orchestra a near-perfect score, and the sight reading judge giving our students a PERFECT score, along with many compliments!
Middle School Orchestra LGPE | The NCCS 7th + 8th Orchestra received an overall Superior rating, earning 2 Superiors and 1 Excellent, as well as a Superior on sight reading!
Well done, students and directors! For context, these evaluations are equivalent to athletic playoffs and academic standardized testing. Our band and orchestras truly excel in their God-given gifts!
