Greetings in the name of the Lord. My name is Shane Arnold, and I am privileged to serve at CLA as the Head of School. Prior to serving in this position, I served as a senior pastor for churches in Tennessee and North Carolina. I also served on the board of directors of CLA before transitioning to administrative leadership.

​

My wife, Kim, and I have 3 children who have all attended CLA. We have Joshua, Lucas, and Abby. My family and I love being a part of what God is doing in and through CLA. As we come closer to the end of our first decade, and look back with thanksgiving for what God has done, we look forward to the future with eager anticipation.

​

At CLA we are radically committed to providing a Christ-centered education in a Christ-shaped school culture. We strive every day to honor Christ. Hence, we are committed to cultivating a culture of improvement in an atmosphere of grace.

​

Specifically, we pray students who graduate from Christ’s Legacy Academy will:

​

• By leaving a multi-generational legacy though a commitment to build godly families.

As you take time to peruse our website, I hope you will realize this is a special place because of the people – faculty, staff, volunteers, students, parents, and grandparents. I encourage you to come to our campus and experience the difference that is CLA.
