"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

VISION
Our vision for the Joseph C. Howard, III Scholastic/Artistic Award fund is to encourage young Christian scholars and artists to pursue a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ through their gifts and talents.

MOTTO
To mold a child through his/her gifts and talents is to equip an adult for their life’s God-ordained purpose.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Joseph C. Howard, III Scholastic/Artistic Award fund, a nonprofit organization, is to contribute to the spiritual development of young scholars and artists by providing opportunities, through monetary awards, for these gifted individuals to receive a quality education in a Christian school. We believe that a Biblical-based curriculum reinforces godly character in our children, thereby equipping them to boldly resist the negative social influences currently plaguing our society. We further believe that a Christian learning environment encourages our children to use their intellectual gifts and creative talents to make positive changes in our world.
