The Journey: PCA Parent Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
Guest: Dr. Pam Merryman, PCA US English teacher
Pam and her sister were the first two students enrolled in First Baptist Academy in Dallas, TX. She not only graduated from First Academy, she became the first alumni to return and teach there as well.
“I never demand any more of my students than I’m willing to give myself.” Dr. Merryman
Dr. Merryman was the force behind bringing Capstone to PCA. Capstone is a senior project of three different papers around one particular literary piece. Seniors write a philosophical paper, an historical paper, and a literary analysis of a book that they choose. Then, the final piece, is looking at the book through a Biblical worldview, the lens of God’s Word, and in light of the five pillars of the Portrait of a PCA Graduate and what they’ve learned in their time at PCA.
Portrait of a PCA Graduate:
Reverence For God
An Eternal Perspective
Christ-like Humility
Scholastic Excellence
Critical Thinking
Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:19-23
