At Portland Christian, our core values are more than words on a wall. They’re lived out every day in hallways, classrooms, carpool lines, and on the sidelines. Sometimes the best moments are small ones that could go unnoticed: a kind word, a helping hand, an extra effort nobody asked for.
Our teachers and staff show up every day to care for students and families, often in quiet ways that don’t make the announcements. Caught Being Royal is our way of noticing. When you see a Portland Christian staff member or teacher living out one of our core values, tell us. We’ll make sure they hear about it.
