History

Shiloh Christian School was founded in 1976 as a ministry of the First Baptist Church of Springdale, by Dennis Cottrell and Tom Ellis, under the leadership of Pastor Cliff Palmer. The school opened with 180 students from kindergarten through sixth grade. A new grade was added each year. The school graduated its first high school class in 1983, with twelve students. In 1979, the First Baptist Church of Springdale moved from its downtown location to its present 72-acre (290,000 m2) site on Johnson Road.
