As we build up the Montessori and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd programs for the children we’re in need of a number…

A New Logo!

  Wow, this is great! Our friend Amy is a really great graphic designer and offered her services. She asked if we were open to a new logo and we said certainly! The little mashup of “HCH” I threw together in a pinch served well as a startup logo, but certainly left some to be…
