Then you've got to pick yourself up, and then you've got to take that next step." Rather than dwelling on setbacks, Boggess encourages leaders to remain focused on what lies ahead. "There is a reason why the windshield is 10 times bigger than the rearview mirror," he said. "Because we need to be focused 10 times more on what the future holds." That future includes an ambitious vision for Jupiter Christian School itself. With demand continuing to outpace capacity, the school is planning a significant campus expansion that would nearly double its educational footprint while creating new athletic facilities, performing arts spaces, and STEM learning environments. The project, he says, is about far more than just constructing new buildings, though. "This isn't just about blueprints and new big buildings. This is going to help feed, drive, and build the economic vibrance of our entire community and town." As he looks toward the future, Boggess hopes students leave Jupiter Christian not simply prepared for college or careers, but equipped to discover the purpose for which they were created. "It's not simply college and career," he said. "A college education and career path is an expression of a deeper, lifelong calling to glorify God."
