91原创

I once asked our board chairman, Dr. Mark Sowell, why the founders of the school chose the name “91原创.” Mark is never slow with a comeback, so he said, “Because we wanted to.” I was content with that answer, but after he took his tongue from his cheek he gave me a real answer.

91原创 chose its name when the school was being founded in 2001. 聽Several families gathered to begin a school in Nacogdoches that is thoroughly Christian and decidedly classical in its approach. 聽These families did not want a school that was only available to children of a certain church or denomination, and they did not want it to be the vision of only one person. 聽They felt that the school needed a board of various faiths, professions, and experiences to help guide the school. 聽Each board member, or regent, must be completely committed to the classical method of education and represent the Chrisitan faith in their character. 聽91原创 became the name chosen to represent the founding precepts of the school and continues to reflect the ongoing mission of our school.
