Senior Sign Out: Leaving a Mark That Lasts

Just before graduation, every senior takes part in one of PAA's most beloved traditions: Senior Sign Out.

In Pastor Stephen's classroom, as a final act of senior Bible class, students sign their names on the wall. It is a simple gesture with a profound meaning. You were here. You belong to this community. You always will.

At PAA, we pray deeply that we leave a lasting, positive impact on every student who walks through our doors. We want them to leave knowing there is a community that knows them, thinks about them, hopes the best for them, loves them, and prays for them long after they are gone. But the impact goes both ways. Our students leave their mark on us too, on our staff, our community, and this school, in ways we carry with us for years.

Senior Sign Out honors that. It honors their forever place in the PAA family.

And the tradition does not end at graduation. Alumni who return to visit Pastor Stephen are invited to add their names to the wall as well, a beautiful, ever-growing testament to every life that has passed through this place and been shaped by it.

These walls hold a lot of names. Every single one of them matters.
