The 2007-2008 school year has already been a great success. It is very important to me that this story of our student success is told. The below bullet list that chronicles much of the measurable success that the Secondary has experienced thus far this school year.

Of course, I do not have to tell the story of our extracurricular activities. From band to drama and athletics, our students are enjoying rich experiences and great success.

Additionally, we are excited about a new program we have launched, Family Groups. This program entails dividing the students into groups of 10 to 15. Each ‘family’ meets together once a month. The purpose of this activity is to ensure that each student has a connection with one adult in our system and to foster a sense of belonging for all.

Finally, it is my privilege to announce that Tucker Barnard has been named Dean of Students of the 2008-2009 school year. Coach Barnard will continue his responsibilities with the athletic department, but will no longer teach Chemistry. As Dean of Students, Coach Barnard will be responsible for the administration of the attendance office and discipline management.

Please know I consider it a privilege to serve as your Dean and to serve the kingdom through SCS. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

In Christ,

Greg Jones
Dean
