Built on Faith: A Lasting Legacy in Steel

May 6, 2026

A single steel beam may seem like just another piece of a building—but for our new high school, it now stands for something much greater.

Students were given a special opportunity to leave their mark on the future. One beam was set aside for them to sign their names, write prayers, share Bible verses, and write messages of encouragement that reflect the faith and community behind this project. 

Zoe Fish ('27) had the opportunity to sign the beam and shared, "I’m so happy to be part of something that will last beyond my time at Des Moines Christian. This school has shaped me in more ways than I could have imagined, so it feels special knowing I’ll always be a part of it in some way."
