Student Leadership Council
The Student Leadership Council promotes Christian love, support, responsibility, and encouragement throughout our student body. We are convinced at CCS that the more involved students become in everyday matters pertaining to the school, the stronger will be the support for our school. The more enthusiastic they become concerning school goals, policies, and procedures, the stronger will be our base for a loyal, active student body. Students are made to feel they belong and have ownership in their school. To involve them in leadership operations and to encourage them in limited responsibilities results in a greater awareness of their school and its functions, and most importantly gives them limited ownership of their school and a strong, positive voice for school growth.
Christian teachings and principles permeate our school. However, of what value are they if our students leave the school upset, disgruntled and feeling they've not been heard? To give them a valid voice in the responsibilities and ownership of the school opens the door for a spiritual atmosphere where the gospel can be shared and encouraged to a happier, contented student body committed to the Lord Jesus Christ, committed to CCS and eager to share positively with others.
Therefore, the Student Leadership council brings souls, minds, and spirits together for a unified body of Christ--a body excited, working together to the praise and honor of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
