Xenia, Ohio, July 1, 2010-The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert M. Elliott as President and Chief Executive Officer of Dayton Christian School System (DCSS).
Elliott has served as President of Legacy Ministries Foundation (LMF) since July 2009 where he led one of the most successful annual fund campaigns in the school system's history, nearly doubling the level of giving from prior years. Like DCSS, LMF is a ministry of Legacy Ministries International (LMI). LMF provides fundraising assistance for all ministries of LMI. Prior to LMF, Elliott was Executive Director of Emmanuel Christian Academy in Springfield, Ohio, a school he helped to found in 1997.
"I am convinced that God has uniquely prepared Bob to lead this ministry," said Claude E. "Bud" Schindler, President of LMI. "I am overwhelmed at what God has done these many years through the ministry of Dayton Christian School System and look forward to what God will do in the years ahead under Bob's direction."
Elliott expressed his desire that DCSS continue to be a leading influence in Christian education regionally and nationally. Elliott stated, "Dayton Christian School System has been built on a solid, Biblically-based, Christ-centered, quality education. I am committed to maintaining what has made DCSS successful, while also working to promote high levels of excellence in all facets of the school system. My aspiration has always been to put Christ first; to educate the students with academic excellence as well as prepare them in furthering the kingdom of God; to instill in them a heart for outreach and service; and equip them with lifelong, godly characteristics. I am truly humbled to serve in this role."
Dayton Christian School System includes Dayton Christian School, Xenia Christian School, and the Dayton Christian Homeschool program with more than 1,500 students currently enrolled. Nearly 5,000 students have graduated from DCSS, which has served as a model to many Christian schools all over the world. In addition, Dayton Christian School System has developed one of the leading home school programs in the country.
