The Rooted & Rising Gala invites guests into an elegant, garden-inspired evening that celebrates the growth and flourishing of Excel Christian School. Surrounded by imagery of deep roots, tender shoots, and abundant harvest, guests will enjoy a beautifully prepared dinner, uplifting stories from students and teachers, and opportunities to support programs that nurture academic excellence and spiritual formation. The gala is both a meaningful fundraiser and a joyful celebration of the strong, connected community that makes Excel thrive. Together, we honor a school rooted in Christ, cultivating student gifts, and rising confidently into the future with good fruit.
