High Desert Christian Academy

High Desert Christian Academy (HDCA) (formerly known as Crook County Christian School), is a private nondenominational Christian school located in Prineville, Oregon, United States. As of 2017, the school is accredited through AdvancEd (Cognia).

History
The school was founded originally under the name Crook County Christian School (CCCS) in 1994, affiliated with the Assembly of God church in Prineville. The school was previously a member of the Association of Christian Schools International.

The school reported growth in 2004 prompting the construction of a second two-story building on the property to house additional classrooms and bathrooms.

In 2010, the school's high school curriculum was discontinued, and with it, its accreditation. CCCS' staff did continue to offer tutoring to high school students enrolled to the online high school program, Insight School of Oregon. CCCS' own high school program remained closed for the next 5 years.

In 2015, the school formally separated from the Assembly of God church into its own nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and formed its own school board. It was at this time that the school's name was changed from CCCS to High Desert Christian Academy (HDCA). After the separation, the school continued to operate from the same location on the church's property, using the same buildings and land as it had prior to the separation, but now operated under a lease agreement with the church.

HDCA reopened its high school program in 2015 following its separation from the Assembly of God church. The school later became reaccredited through AdvancEd (Cognia) in 2017.

HDCA leased the school property from the Assembly of God church from 2015 to 2022. The lease agreement was not renewed at the close of the school year in 2022, so the school changed locations. For the 2022-2023 school year, HDCA operated from three separate churches in Prineville: Eastside Church, Calvary Baptist Church, and Grace Baptist Church.

In March 2023, HDCA announced the purchase of the Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Prineville, the city’s former hospital from 1950-2015. The school prepared during 2023 to use the hospital site as its new school campus starting in the 2023-2024 school year.

the school roll is 108.
