Once a Lion.
Always a Lion.
Your years at TKA may be behind you, but your place in this community is not.
Across generations, professions, communities, and countries, our alumni remain part of one continuing story.
The campus changes.
The connection remains.
The King’s Academy alumni family stretches across decades and around the world.
Some alumni remember the Academy as Harrison-Chilhowee Baptist Academy. Others walked across the stage wearing The King’s Academy purple. Different decades brought different traditions, teachers, buildings, classmates, and experiences, but each generation is woven into the same story.
We want this to remain a place where you can reconnect with old friends, celebrate fellow alumni, remember the people who shaped your years here, and stay connected to what God continues to do through TKA.
Your TKA connection continues.
Whether it has been one year or fifty, there are meaningful ways to stay connected to the Academy and one another.
