Background

edit

East Richland Christian Schools was formed by the merger of New Covenant Academy and Faith Community Christian High School in 2009.[5] In 2019, the school finished its new high school building, the Ickes Family Life Center. The school offers many extra-curricular activities including junior high and varsity sports, speech, choir, band, math, science, and drama. A new elementary building was constructed in 2011 to house pre-school through 6th grade. In 2010, a modular classroom was purchased for additional high school classroom space.
