Palmetto Christian Academy Best Of Song

Pulling Heartstrings: Palmetto Christian Academy Named Best Private School 11 Years in a Row

Palmetto Christian Academy Choir

Anybody who knows me knows I love publishing Mount Pleasant Magazine. I wake up in the morning thinking about publishing and when I put my head on my pillow at night I’m still thinking about publishing. Telling the stories of the town I call home is a daily adventure. The readers and businesses that make up the growing community surrounding Mount Pleasant Magazine are engaging. Our community is made up of forward thinking and positive readers and business owners. When I submerge myself in this robust community the love for what I do always moves upwards to reach new heights.

Recently I had such an opportunity and yes, I did reach new heights that filled my heart with joy mixed in with a few tears. It all began when I paid a visit to Palmetto Christian Academy distributing our 2025 Best Of Mount Pleasant Magazine. I had an idea that involved the PCA music department. Like most ideas I hatch I didn’t have all the details figured out, but I knew this idea would be fun for both the magazine and PCA. I wanted to see if they would use their talent and creativity to tell our readers and the PCA community how proud they were to be voted among the best private schools in Mount Pleasant 11 years running. PCA would be front and center along with Mount Pleasant Magazine and Best Of. A collaboration if you will.

Palmetto Christian Academy Choir performs a song after winning Best Of Mount Pleasant’s Best Private School for 11 consecutive years.

I reached out to PCA Director of Marketing & Communications and Choir Director Darla Rourk, who has been part of the Mount Pleasant community for decades. She and her husband Kevin sent their children to PCA and now she helps them with branding and marketing. Rourk thought my idea was good enough to speak to PCA’s choral director Abigail Huneycutt. What happened next was more than either of us could have imagined.

A couple of weeks passed before Rourk discussed the Best Of 2025 idea. She mentioned that Huneycutt wanted to meet. We scheduled a time to meet in PCA’s community hall, and on the day of the meeting before I left Mount Pleasant Magazine’s office, I grabbed a Best Of sign, numerous copies of 2025 magazines and a large poster of the 2025 Best Of cover. I didn’t know what PCA’s music department was planning, but I knew I needed to bring some Best Of branding items just in case.

When I arrived at PCA, I carried in the Best Of branding items and found Rourk at the front entrance of the welcome center. It didn’t appear to me that she knew what Huneycutt was planning either. We entered the hall together with the curiosity of cats. On the right-hand side in the middle of the room against the wall there were four levels of bleachers with the PCA choirs standing. Of course, it sparked our interest, but we still didn’t know what was going to happen. When Huneycutt said the choirs had a newly-written song to sing, I immediately stepped up to the choirs and handed them copies of the Best Of 2025 magazine, placed the Best Of logo in front of the choirs and the Best Of magazine cover against the wall above the 26 members of the choirs. I was honored and extremely humbled.

As Huneycutt conducted the chorus, they sang their newly written and composed song about how PCA was proud to have been voted the Best Private School in Mount Pleasant for 11 consecutive years. As they sang the words and carried their new tunes, I found my eyes swelling up with water and my heart pounding faster.
