The school year at Toccoa Falls College is about to begin with classes beginning on Monday, August 24.  Our faculty and staff met last night for dinner to begin the new year.  On Saturday afternoon, August 22 and Sunday afternoon, August 23 my wife and I will host the freshman class at our home with [...]

Early on the Monday morning, January 12, 2009, Gate Cottage, built in 1939 and renovated in 2002, burned to the ground.  It housed the gift shop for the Falls, the restaurant, and the School of Counseling.  I was in Indiana and upon returning to campus I walked around the building that evening and tears flowed as [...]
