High school is a total roller coaster—crazy highs, messy lows, and all the stuff in between. It’s when you start figuring out who you really are and what matters. At HSM at First, we believe you were created intentionally by a God who wants to know you—like, really know you. Our heart is helping students discover real meaning and build a lasting relationship with Jesus.
