HCU Family of the Year

HCU Families of the Year are recognized each year during Family Weekend.  Selected families exemplify Christian family values and contribute time, talent, and resources in support of HCU’s mission.  For each family a tree is planted on campus in their name.  Additionally, the family is honored at various events during Family Weekend, and a tile is placed in the Walk of Honor to commemorate this recognition.

We honored our 2024 Family of the Year, the Maddox Family, at the football Game on October 12, 2024.
