College Prep @ SCCS
By Matt Brown, SCCS Academic Dean
SCCS has always been a college-prep high school. Every  improvement we have made to our academic program has been intentionally done to not only help students be prepared for college, but to also excel once they get there. Testimonies from our alumni provide proof that our students not only get accepted to prestigious universities, but also do well at those schools as a result of the education they received at SCCS.
But, speaking of an academic program can seem generic. While we have graduation expectations that exceed UC standards, requiring our students to take biology, chemistry, and physics along with a minimum of Algebra 2 in math, the teachers in all content areas at SCCS design specific projects throughout the year, which expose our students to the academic rigor that will be expected of them beyond high school. Click here to read more about how SCCS students are prepared to excel in college and in life.

NEXUS 2014
By Ken Kistler, SCCS Activities Director
The most important SCCS high school event of the year  lies just around the corner: NEXUS. On January 21-24, NEXUS, SCCS' annual spiritual emphasis week, will feature daily chapel services with a special guest speaker focusing on a specific theme.
This year's speaker, Pastor David Maitland, has served as a youth pastor, high school basketball coach, and camp director. He's worked with Christian young people for over twenty years. His theme this year will be, God's Winners and Losers. Click here to read more about NEXUS 2014 .

SCCS Takes Tip-Off Title
By Bob Dickson
If the 2013 Tip-Off Tournament is any indication, this year's version of the Santa Clarita Christian Cardinals boys basketball team is going to make its mark.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, the Cardinals capped an impressive three-game run with a dominant, 68-42 win over Trinity Classical Academy to take first place in the three-day event. SCCS beat Vasquez by a score of 67-44 in the tip-off opener and then bested Delphi, 70-24, to advance to the championship.
Kamron Carroll provided all the spark the Cardinals (3-0) would need, scoring 14 of his 24 points in the game's first quarter-and-a-half. The senior guard broke down the Knights' defense to create easy looks inside in the early going. In the second quarter, he connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to push the SCCS lead to 29-10.

 On Monday, December 16, SCCS secondary students performed their annual music and drama Christmas performance at 7 pm in the SCCS gym. This year's performance featured the Junior High and High School Concert Choir, as well as a performance by the Drama Club. The high school choir sang selections from John Rutter's Christmas Carols that they performed with West Ranch High School choir and orchestra on December 12th.
On Tuesday, December 17, SCCS elementary students performed their annual Christmas Program, a play called "Christmas Hang-ups". This play was about a box of ornaments that are awakened from their yearly hibernation by the movement of their storage box. The play featured the entire 4th- 6th grade, as well as the 1st-3rd grade elementary honor choir.
The choir portion of both performances were directed by Mrs. Susan Johnson and Mrs. Shannan Smith directed the drama portion.

animation using an online program called Tynker, and an introduction to JAVA programming. In addition to the computer classes, I am also in charge of the yearbook. Although there is only one student in the course, we are working towards putting together two awesome yearbooks! Click here to learn more about Ms. Natalie Smith.
