Guidance<br />

—Christine Englert<br />

Secondary Guidance Counselor<br />

<strong>Coral</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> High School<br />

opened its doors in 1996 with 100 students. In<br />

2000, CSCA graduated their first senior class of 12<br />

students. The high school has excelled and grown<br />

in many areas including enrollment, course offerings,<br />

sports, fine arts, and numerous activities.<br />

CSCA began its college preparatory curriculum<br />

with core honors courses and one Advanced Placement<br />

class. Adding AP courses each year, CSCA<br />

now offers students 12 AP options:<br />

AP English Literature and Composition<br />

AP Calculus AB<br />

AP Statistics<br />

AP Biology<br />

AP Environmental Science<br />

AP Microeconomics<br />

AP American Government<br />

AP World History<br />

AP U.S. History<br />

AP Spanish<br />

AP 2D Art<br />

AP Drawing Portfolio<br />

As I look to begin my seventh year at CSCA, I am<br />

excited to see what God has planned for the future<br />

of <strong>this</strong> high school. I am blessed each day by the<br />

exceptional students who walk these halls. Their<br />

spiritual commitment, love for each other, academic<br />

motivation, and the close relationships that bond<br />

the students, faculty and administration are what<br />

make <strong>this</strong> school a second home for me and many<br />

others.<br />

CSCA has graduated a total of 420 students and<br />

another 55 will cross the stage and receive diplomas<br />

at the end of May. Thank you for supporting<br />

<strong>this</strong> ministry and please pray for the continued<br />

leadership of the administration as we guide students<br />

to excel academically and grow in their faith.<br />

4 | The Legacy<br />

CSCA Athletics<br />

—Steve Fitzgerald<br />

Athletic Director<br />

The athletic department at <strong>Coral</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> has come a long<br />

way in the short amount of time since the decision to add a high school.<br />

Not only has it grown in number of sports available (CSCA currently<br />

has 14 varsity sports), it has also grown into a very successful program.<br />

Of the 14 varsity sports, 10 have won at least one individual or team<br />

district championship. We have had many individual state participants<br />

including six individual state champions in track and field. More importantly,<br />

we are proud of the effort and dedication of the student/athletes<br />

and coaches along with the parental support that make up our “Crusader<br />

Family”. This hard work has established <strong>Coral</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>Christian</strong><br />

<strong>Academy</strong> as one of the top athletic programs of its size in Broward<br />

County. I would like to offer a special invitation to our alumni to come<br />

and check out the tradition that you helped develop with your perseverance<br />

and commitment through the early years.<br />

To our Alumni,<br />

Advancement<br />

—Mr. Matt Cleveland<br />

Advancement Director<br />

We hope you are enjoying our new alumni publication. It is imperative<br />

that you as alumni know how special you are to CSCA. You have helped<br />

build a foundation of excellence that is thriving even in these tough<br />

economic times. We hope that you will enjoy the news and networking<br />

that has happened through the CSCA alumni Facebook page as well.<br />

Come back and visit whenever you can. You are always welcome.<br />

We have made many strides <strong>this</strong> year in the Advancement Department.<br />

We had our first annual Dinner, Dance, and Auction that was held on<br />

January 23rd at the Parkland Golf and Country Club. We raised over<br />

$29,000 in one night with the proceeds going to the General Fund. We<br />

also began the Winterfest tradition at CSCA. This was held in the middle<br />

of December. It included a Christmas Tree sale, a craft fair, a live<br />

nativity, and performances by our elementary students. It was a great<br />

day. We are working on our Annual Golf tournament which is always<br />

a success. Also, TAP (Teachers and Parents) raised over $45,000 in the<br />

annual Country fair <strong>this</strong> year. The advancement department and the<br />

CSCA family have continued to grow and thrive!! God has truly blessed<br />

us.<br />

We have been able to build our much needed parking lot. Our athletic<br />

facilities have been upgraded; smartboards are being put in classrooms.<br />

Improvement is everywhere. We recently raised $85,000 through a<br />

matching gift that allowed us to put a much needed new roof on Building<br />

C. All of <strong>this</strong> is a tribute to God’s faithfulness. It has been a tough<br />

year for Americans economically, but God has continued to provide for<br />

CSCA. Please pray for us and God’s continued blessing on our school.<br />

We look forward to seeing you on campus sometime in the near future!<br />
