In 1978, Olivet Academy became Shawnee Mission Christian School, choosing the colors red and black with a warrior mascot. Five years later in 1983, SMCS graduated its first group of seniors.
In 1996, Olivet Baptist Church and Oak Grove Baptist Church combined their school to form Mission Oaks Christian School. This cooperative venture operated until the spring to of 2001.
Olivet Baptist Church reopened Shawnee Mission Christian School in the fall of 2001. The “Mustangs” was chosen for the mascot and the new colors are navy blue and light blue.
