HCA Alumni

We are honored to present the 2025 HCA Distinguished Alumni Award to Gil Duran, a proud member of the Class of 2020. Gil joined HCA in 2017 as a sophomore and quickly became an integral part of our school community.

Since graduating, Gil has remained deeply connected to HCA, consistently giving back through both his time and leadership. In addition to successfully operating his own business, Hawthorne Services, Gil has served as a mentor to numerous young men within our school. His commitment to spiritual growth and discipleship is evident, often standing alongside these students in the baptismal as they publicly profess their faith in Christ.

Gil Duran truly exemplifies the heart and character of an HCA Lion. His dedication to service, leadership, and faith continues to make a lasting impact on our community. We are proud to recognize Gil for his outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to the values of HCA.

Recipients are recognized for making significant contributions within their professions, communities, churches, and families. This award celebrates individuals who demonstrate Christ-like character and faithfully carry forward the values instilled during their time at Harvest Christian Academy.

Harvest Christian Academy is delighted to welcome back alumna Bethany Paris, Class of 2020, as she joins our faculty to teach third grade! Bethany holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Special Education, as well as a Master’s degree in Human Services Counseling with cognates in Crisis and Leadership.

Welcome home, Bethany! 🦁

Thank you to all of our HCA alumni who joined us at the Career Fair this year! ⭐️

Thank you to Jake Noble, class of 2019, for coming to be a guest Chapel speaker this semester! 🦁 The theme for upper school chapel this year is “Influence.” Jake shared with our students about who has influenced him (shout out to his dad, Mr. David Noble!)

He shared how he did not realize the sacrifice his parents made to send him to HCA while he was a student, but now he does and he shared how thankful his HCA experience shaped him to be the man he is today.

(He also wanted to apologize to Mrs. Peterson for always being such a goof!)

Thank you for joining us, Jake!
