Established in​ 1980

Founded by civic and church leaders who recognized the need for in-depth training in Christian principles and values, HCLC continues to be a vital part of this community.
 
Guided and governed by a Board of Directors and Advisors drawn from those in our community who support released-time education, HCLC reflects the faith convictions of this ​local area.

Habersham Christian Learning Center is a non-denominational, non-profit, community-based educational service organization.  HCLC teaches Christian ethics, morals, and values to high school students during their school day by sharing God's truths in love for passion and purpose throughout life. No tax money is used to fund the released-time program.  Classes are offered free of charge to students. Operational funds come from churches, individuals, businesses, civic clubs, and United Way.
