With new uniforms, new mascots and plans for a new campus underway, Lanier Christian Academy is ready to accept students for the 2016-2017 school year. The newly formed private South Hall school, soon to become one of the largest Christian K-12 college preparatory schools in the area, is inviting interested new families to open houses, the next of which will be from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 31. The school is the product of the unified North Georgia Christian School in Flowery Branch and Heritage Academy in Braselton.
