Giving Campaign

     The Legacy Endowment was gifted by a former family while their children attended HCCS.  They saw a need and answered their calling.  Under the leadership and direction of Joe Lunz and Tom Ray, they entrusted a 2 million dollar gift to the school with the purpose of keeping tuition affordable and to help where there was the greatest need.  Together with the Endowment Board they established the Legacy Endowment to supplement the operating budget, to help fund scholarships, and to assist with capital improvements. 

     Established by a HCCS Alumni, The Guardian Endowment began with the purpose to help those who have served a long tenure.   Their prayer was to bless those faculty and staff with a departing monetary gift.   Faculty and Staff 

who serve 5 to 20 years or more, receive an amount calculated by those number of years served.  The idea was to assist those entering retirement age and their aging spouses and to bless teachers who have served at our school for much less pay than the public school sector.

     The second purpose was to serve children in need.   Whether it is a widow, an orphaned child or a family who can't afford the cost of a private Christian education, the recipients of these funds are blessed by this 1.5 million dollar gift through scholarships.

           After 2020, HCCS experienced an increase in operating costs and an influx of families seeking the stability of private education.  For the first time in over forty years, the school began a plan to raise tuition to address these growing  financial concerns.  

     The first concern was the aging property and need for improvements and expansion.   The second was the growing operating shortage.  Both The Guardian and The Legacy Endowments were taking on more than projected.  With the approval from the Development Committee, a few volunteer mom's began a Capital Campaign to establish the Forward in Faith Endowment.  This Endowment was founded to address the Capital needs and improvements.

       In 2023, it began with $100,000 raised.  In 2025, HCCS hired for the first time, a Director of Development to continue these efforts.  The goal is to raise one-million dollars.

     Brandan Aleman attended Hill Country Christian School for a number of years.  While attending, he led his peers with a strong faith and love for our Lord.  Brandan embodied the very purpose of our school and believed in its mission.  Brandan has transitioned from our physical world to the that of the spiritual.  Friends and Family gathered to remember him and established the Brandan Aleman Scholarship Fund to carry on his legacy.  

     At HCCS, his legacy stretches further than this dedication.  It serves as a reminder and model for other students.  Through this Scholarship Fund, Brandan still serves his peers through the assistance of financial help for those who seek to be educated in the word, to live a life of serving others, and to carry on a tradition of faith and Christian values.
