Great Lakes Adventist Academy - History

History

The school was started in the early 1900s but was renamed during the 1980s to its current name. On November 2, 1986, Adelphian Academy and Cedar Lake Academy merged to form Great Lakes Adventist Academy. Prior to that, Grand Ledge Academy consolidated with Lansing Elementary School and Grand Ledge Elementary School in 1982. It then became Mid-Michigan Adventist Academy until 1989, when it was also merged into Great Lakes Adventist Academy. This left only two Adventist Academies in Michigan: Great Lakes Adventist Academy in Cedar Lake and Andrews Academy in Berrien Springs.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
