North Tampa Christian Academy is a projected-based learning school that focuses on your child’s passions and helping them grow. That’s why in addition to regular classes, extracurriculars are just as important for your child’s education. Our schools believe that students and their families have a say in what they learn. By choosing their own path, you’ll be raising a happy, healthy, and motivated child. We’ve developed a guide to help you choose the right extracurriculars for them.
Principal Spotlight: Terry Griffin
North Tampa Christian Academy is pleased to introduce next year’s 9th-to-12th-grade principal! Hailing from Maryland, Terry Griffin has an extensive background in education. Her resume lists middle school teacher, high school teacher, superintendent associate, academic dean at John Hopkins, and now, principal again! To prepare for these prominent roles, Griffin received a B.S. in education, an M.Ed. in curriculum instruction and assessment, Ed. S in curriculum and instruction leadership, Ed. D in educational leadership, plus a principal fellowship with New York Leadership Academy. Without a doubt, her qualifications and experience are incomparable! When she was a child, she wanted to be a CNN reporter. Because she decided to skip the newsroom for the classroom, North Tampa is so blessed to have her!

As your child prepares for adulthood, use this guide to help them choose the right career path.
Principal Spotlight: Damon Gilliam
North Tampa Christian Academy is pleased to introduce next year’s Kindergarten through 8th grade Principal, Damon Gilliam! Hailing from Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. G has always been a leader. From student government to captain of various sports teams to church elder, Mr. G has always been extremely active in his community. At a young age, he wanted to be a pediatrician with the dream of making children healthier. In high school, however, he enjoyed working with children so much that he decided he wanted to be a youth pastor or a teacher. Calling the Bible his favorite book, Mr. G says, “I knew God specifically wanted me to do something in the realm of working with young people … I hope that each student chooses Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and with that choice, they understand that He wants each one to become a difference maker in this world.”
