softball, cheer, and track
and field. This past year, CCA
achieved record-breaking
success with a South State
Championship and District
Championship in softball,
South State runner-up in varsity
boys basketball, South State
runner-up in track with 12 state
finalists, 2nd place finish in
the South State and Overall
State in archery, and District
Championships in JV boys and
girls basketball.
Natalie King, the school’s
counselor, who has been at
CCA since the school started
says, “One of the greatest joys
I have at CCA is being able to
watch the students develop
educationally, spiritually, and
physically. Our current ninth
grade has eight students who
started the kindergarten (K5)
program the first year. I have
loved watching them mature
(along with so many others)
while also developing long
and lasting relationships with
each of them. These students
become family to me, to
each other, and to our staff.”
In just ten short years,
CCA is providing a nurturing,
loving environment for
students allowing them to
grow academically, spiritually,
and socially as they fulfill the
purpose to which they were
called. •
