“My journey at Lee has equipped me with more than just a quality, faith-based education. Lee’s thriving student engagement, amazing staff, and bountiful resources have restored my confidence and empowered me to pursue and obey God’s sovereign plan for my life. I could not be more grateful for everyone that has led me to the school, community, and home that I have found in Lee.”
