Skeels History
As the school continued to increase in numbers, and space was running out in the church basement, it became evident that a change would have to happen. With a donated piece of property, work began on a permanent home for the school. A new seven-room school opened in the fall of 1978. On May 12, 2017 Skeels Christian School dedicated the original school building as the Carl M. Briggs Elementary Wing. This dedication took place after the passing of Pastor Carl M. Briggs earlier that year. Pastor Briggs was the founder of Skeels Christian School and the pastor of Skeels Baptist Church at the time the school started in 1975.
A decade later a high school wing, Dr. George L Coon High School Wing with administrative offices were completed. Dr. Coon was the pastor of Skeels Baptist Church during the building of our high school building. By 2000 a full-size gym and cafeteria had been added, completing what is now known as Skeels Christian School.
