Meet Our Board: Al Philippus


Meet Our Board

            Mr. Al Philippus, who currently has two children, Hallee and Holden in 8th grade, has served on the SACS Board for a little over one year. He loves going to Lake LBJ and playing water sports with his children in their spare time. Mr. Philippus loves having his children attend SACS because, “SACS is a place where my children can enjoy spiritual and academic growth in an environment that prepares them for works of service and leadership through Christian values.  In addition, my wife and I believe SACS provides at atmosphere where they are challenged and encouraged to be a reflection of Christ to others.” In his day-to-day job, Mr. Philippus works as a Vice President at Valero Energy Corporation. 

The most difficult aspect of working on the SACS Board, Mr. Philippus says, “is dealing with disciplinary appeals where students have been dismissed from the school for serious violation(s) of school policy.” However, the most enjoyable part is serving the Lord and our families. His favorite Bible verse is Matthew 20:26-28, It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
