Quinton Johnson

johnson-tallAt only 14 years old, Quinton Johnson is on the fast track to success. A recipient of a scholarship from the AAA Scholarship Foundation, Quinton attends The Dinoff School for the Gifted in Griffin, Ga., where he is challenging his academic abilities by taking college-level classes and scoring in the 99th percentile on standardized tests. However, just three years ago, Quinton’s academic future was in limbo.

Quinton has spent most of his life under the care of his grandmother, Verdelle Johnson, who has full custody of both him and his younger sister. Verdelle has been a positive influence in Quinton’s life, helping him to overcome early hardships and encouraging him to always put forth his greatest effort.

“My grandma showed me that I could do better things with my life,” Quinton says. “She taught me to try my best in everything I do.”

First Presbyterian Christian Academy

“Some of our students are one day away from being homeless,” shares Sammi Hester, Head of School at the First Presbyterian Christian Academy (FPCA), “and those are the students in the most desperate need of our help.”

Located in Hinesville, Georgia, FPCA began serving students in 1975 as a Preschool with less than 20 students. Today they now serve approximately 350 students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, and they are on course to accommodate 400 students for the 2013-2014 school-year. This dramatic growth is due to their high academic standards and strong support from the surrounding community.

In addition, FPCA’s partnership with AAA Scholarships (and the companies that support us through the Georgia corporate tax credit scholarship program) has provided them with much-needed resources to offer scholarships to low-income children. “Our school is a home and a family for kids whose parents might be deployed, working several jobs or even deceased,” said Hester. She explains that the school has both financial and racial diversity, “A scholarship from AAA Scholarships is the catalyst for low-income families to see a brighter future for their children.”
