High Desert Christian Academy

As families prepare for the start of another school year, Crook County Christian School is seeing continued growth while also working to accommodate families left searching for new educational and childcare options following the abrupt closure of High Desert Christian Academy.

High Desert Christian Academy has announced it will permanently close at the end of the month, bringing an end to more than three decades of Christian education in Prineville.

A longtime staff member at High Desert Christian Academy (HDCA) says she was unexpectedly dismissed from her position Friday, prompting a wave of social media reaction and a formal response from the school’s board.
