Sara (Collins) White started at GAC in the third grade and graduated in 2008. As a student, she gained skills in communication and team management through her involvement in National Honor Society, Beta Club, and Yearbook. Reflecting on her student experience, Sara mentions, “What had the most positive impact on my life at GAC was the investment of everyone in my success and advancement as a woman and as a student. Even the teachers I had in Elementary School were always cheering me on when I was across campus. GAC is truly a family environment!”

After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Georgia Tech in 2012, Sara worked in Deloitte Consulting’s Human Capital Practice for over 6 years, where she helped large companies navigate organizational change. Now she is a Senior Manager at InterContinental Hotels Group and focuses on growth strategy.

Sara is the President of the GAC Alumni Board and offers her wide range of skills to benefit students and the alumni community. She married Dustin White in 2014, and they welcomed their daughter, Anna, in January 2017. Anna is a student at GAC in Young Learners, and Sara loves seeing her thrive at the same place that was home to her for so many years. Sara attributes much of her success at Georgia Tech and now in her professional life to her time at GAC. She is excited to give back to the school as an alumna and parent in the coming years.

Two recent Greater Atlanta Christian School alumni were chosen to captain the U.S. Naval Academy football team for the 2019 season. Captains are elected by a team vote, and for the first time ever, 4 co-captains were chosen. GAC graduates Paul Carothers '15 and Ford Higgins '16 are seniors at the Naval Academy and will lead the team side-by-side, just as they did while they were Spartans.

GAC Athletic Director and head football coach Tim Hardy said, “It is a tremendous honor to be named Captain of the Navy Football Team. The team is comprised of some of the most outstanding young men in the nation. I am not surprised that both Ford and Paul were chosen. These are two of the absolute finest young men to graduate from GAC. Though different individuals, they possess many of the same characteristics such as strength of character, mental toughness, and selfless dedication to others. Both of them are elite competitors who confront any challenge with strength and total commitment. Their effort, attitude, and determination give courage and confidence to those around them.”

Navy football coach Ken Niumatalolo said, “This year we waited to elect our team captains…We wanted to go through winter conditioning, our fourth quarter workouts and spring practice before our team voted to give everybody ample opportunity to select captains based on who earned the privilege. I couldn’t be more excited about the captains that our team selected.” Coach Niumatalolo noted that Higgins earned two varsity letters and started all 13 games in 2018. Higgins will anchor the line for the second year at the center position.

Carothers, a linebacker, has been a Navy special teams player, seeing action in nine games a year ago and making six tackles. He had an outstanding spring and made a strong push to be a starter in the fall, according to Niumatalolo.
