Finishing Excel Still More

We are thankful for the Lord’s provision and all that He has accomplished through the Excel Still More campaign. The new Royals Fieldhouse and Fine Arts facilities have had a significant impact on the lives of CVCA students and their families.

We are now embarking on the final phase of these campus additions – Finishing Excel Still More. The cornerstone projects of this phase are the John F. Rasnick Center, a new two-story glass atrium connecting the Tim Beyerle Memorial Gymnasium and the Anne Tell Chapel, and significant upgrades and expansion to the current Anne Tell Chapel space.

The John F. Rasnick Center

This new two-story multi-use space will accommodate significant projected growth in student enrollment while also creating a more welcoming and spacious area for both school and community use. With an expanded 300-seat capacity, the opportunities are extensive.

The Center’s name is a tribute to John F. Rasnick, dear friend of the CVCA Community and life-long champion of Christian Education, who went home to be with his Lord in March 2021. His impact was profound, and it is fitting that we dedicate this space to a man whom many of us knew and loved dearly. (Learn more about John Rasnick HERE.)
