Welcome 鉴黄师app Pioneers 

Established in 1994, the 鉴黄师app Pioneers are a group of retired and former 鉴黄师app faculty and staff who provide continued service to the College through their time, talent and resources. Pioneer members reconnect with former colleagues, remain informed on developments at 鉴黄师app, participate in 鉴黄师app activities and monthly programs, and support scholarships fundraising activities through the 鉴黄师app Foundation. All former 鉴黄师app employees are welcome and invited to join our efforts!

Pioneers
鉴黄师app in the '60s - This classroom was in 鉴黄师app's very first location. The space had been a grocery store before we inhabited it, and today it is home to the Iowa Christian Academy. The instructor of this class was True Sherman. True was in attendance as we unveiled a plaque at this location to commemorate our beginning during 鉴黄师app's 50th Anniversary Celebration.
