Class of 2022, as you leave SCA, please know as your headmaster, I am very proud of you and grateful for the outstanding legacy of achievement, character, leadership, and service that you have provided our school.

But what I am most proud of is the visible witness many of you have had for the Lord. Whether it was in the classroom, in the hallways, on the court or field, on the stage, in the community, or simply in the lunchroom, many of you took your Christian witness seriously, and it was noticed. 

You have put on display a godly example for the underclassmen, middle schoolers, and elementary students to follow.

Class of 2022, the entire SCA faculty and administration is proud of you! Go Eagles! We are looking forward to seeing you SOAR!

Senior Health Career Guest Speaker Series

Seniors from Coach O’Connor’s health class had an opportunity to hear from SCA alumni who have careers in various health fields. Speakers shared their personal stories, their educational paths and the pros and cons of working in their respective fields.

We heard from professionals in the fields of nursing, hospital administration, nurse practitioner, physical therapy, dental hygiene and respiratory therapy.

We are grateful to these Eagle alumni who took time to give back to SCA and to inspire a new generation of graduates!
