NEW TO SHILOH?

We know that each student, and the family they represent, will add individual and unique talents to our Shiloh Family.  As your student prepares to begin school at Shiloh, it is our goal to make this transition as smooth as possible. Our staff is available to answer any questions you may have, point you in the right direction on campus, or provide opportunities for you to connect with your new Shiloh Family. Shiloh Ambassador families will begin reaching out to our new families over the coming month. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Alicia Brown at aliciab@shilohsaints.org with questions.
