Everest Academy is a ministry of Everest Family Church in Hayden. We offer freedom along with quality resources, information, activities and support to those homeschooling in Alabama. We believe that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off church "cover" school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.

If you are a home school or private school girl age 12 through senior, regardless of your cover school, you are invited to come to the Backlot Battery Color Guard Clinic May 12, 14, and 16 or our new Dance Team clinic May 6, 7, and 8, both from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Helena Sports Complex (100 Sports Complex Drive). Come to one or come to both and see which one you like best.
  • Be a part of a great team of girls.
  • Perform with the Backlot Battery Drum Line at football games & parades.
  • No experience necessary for color guard. Minimal experience required for dance team.

The Backlot Battery is a private organization and not affiliated with any school.

The clinic is free, but please email backlotbatterycolorguard@gmail.com so we can provide enough equipment for everyone.

The clinic is for informational and learning purposes to see if you would like to join color guard and does not commit you to the entire season.
