Alumni Spotlight - Meredith Elliott

Meredith Elliott only attended LCA for two years, but those two years had a profound impact on her life. She graduated in 2006 and then attended Eastern Kentucky University and Summit Salon Academy. She is currently a licensed cosmetologist at Afterglow Salon & Spa in Frankfort, Kentucky. 

When thinking about your time at LCA, finish this sentence, This is where...:  "My relationship with the Lord came alive! I declared Jesus Christ to be my Savior at 12, but didn’t fully make Him my Lord till I was 18. That fire began to burn in me thanks to Mrs. Schmidt hosting a Bible study in her classroom and a small group of us studying Ephesians together. My life has been radically different ever since!"

What did you love most about your time at LCA? I was given a safe space to finish high school after transferring from another school. I loved having prayer requests on the board right next to the homework assignments. I loved being incredibly prepared for college. I loved leaving there more in love with Jesus than when I arrived. The only thing I would do differently is that I would have transferred sooner!

What is one of your favorite memories while attending LCA? My first week there was unlike anything I could have imagined. Not only was the school clean and beautiful, but the students and staff were all so wonderfully welcoming! I couldn’t believe I was so privileged to attend be there. That first week made the biggest impact on the rest of my time there.

Why do you believe if was important for you to attend LCA? Initially, I needed a safe place to go to school, but ultimately I needed to have a solid place to grow my faith and this is where the Lord intended that journey to begin.

In what ways did LCA prepare you for college and beyond? I was incredibly prepared for college, not just academically - good study habits, writing research papers, test strategies - but also to be able to maintain and defend my faith in a secular university.
