Our Commitment to Faith and Beliefs

At Immanuel Preparatory, we believe that faith and beliefs play a fundamental role in shaping individuals and communities. Our Flag Retirement and Flag Raising Ceremony is a testament to our commitment to honor the values and principles that our great nation represents.

The Importance of the Flag Retirement Ceremony

The Flag Retirement Ceremony holds significant importance as it symbolizes respect and reverence for the American flag. This ceremony is an opportunity to honor and retire flags that have worn out or are no longer suitable for display. It ensures that these flags, which have served as powerful symbols of our nation, are properly and respectfully retired.

The Meaning Behind the Flag Raising Ceremony

The Flag Raising Ceremony signifies unity, patriotism, and national pride. It is a powerful way of instilling these values in our students and community members. During the Flag Raising Ceremony, students and faculty gather to hoist the American flag while singing the national anthem. This act of raising our flag high signifies our devotion to our country and its core beliefs.
