What We Value
Welcome to CCCS Junior High! As a school, our mission is to educate students by integrating academic excellence with a Christian worldview, equipping them to impact their world for Christ. Our desire in junior high is to fulfill that mission.
We challenge our students to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. We recognize that when our students arrive in 7th grade, they may feel uncertain about the changes awaiting them in junior high. They are faced with new experiences: changing classes, daily PE (and wearing PE clothes!), operating a combination lock, managing their daily classwork and homework, and even making new friends.
We wish to walk alongside you and your student, through each challenge and success, as they grow through these experiences. Each year, we raise the bar as we strive for academic excellence for each student. During the student’s 8th grade year, we work to ensure that our students are not only ready for but will flourish in high school.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Grizzly Families,
It is my honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 – 2026 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. I am extremely proud to serve as the principal of this amazing school and to continue to support the students of CCCS! This year, our school theme is “The Power of the Gospel” and it comes from Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek”.
As a school, we will be infusing this truth into all that we do. As has been our mission at CCCS, we will continue to strive for academic excellence and continue to pour into our students to become the Christian leaders of tomorrow. With that said, the CCCS staff and Admin. are excited to kick this year off in true Grizzly style!
I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school or have relocated from another city, state, or country. We are excited to share with you all that CCCS has to offer and believe you will soon feel as we do, that CCCS is a special place for all students. Our educators, support staff, families, are ready to welcome you into the Grizzly Family.
Our teachers and staff are eager to meet their new students and begin this year’s journey with them. The dedicated staff at CCCS has been working tirelessly to finalize classes and schedules, engage in professional learning opportunities, and update our instructional models, class routines, and expectations, all with the goal of fostering academic success and a true sense of connectedness and belonging for our students.
Our primary goal is to make sure every student understands God’s Word as we at CCCS consider our Bible classes the tip of the spear for without His Word and a strong relationship with Jesus everything else is more difficult to deal with on a daily basis. So, with that said we strive to offer a variety of learning experiences that will inspire innovative thinkers and confident lifelong learners. We believe that each of our students is equipped with God given gifts, and we offer a variety of opportunities for students to discover their potential. Our students have the opportunity to develop skills and use their gifts in a variety of outreaches as well as art, vocal music/band, and athletics. We have been recognized with many awards for excellence in these areas.
It is our mission to partner with parents to provide an excellent education grounded in a Biblical worldview. We understand that educating a child takes teamwork. It is important that parents and teachers work together to provide the best education possible.
Above all, our goal is to teach our students to Love God, Love His people, and be prepared to give them God’s Word. We strive not only to instill Christ-like character in our students, but also to train them how to apply scripture to their daily lives.
I look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. The CCCS staff has always made a priority of working together as a caring and compassionate learning community with professionalism, teamwork, action, and expertise. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose. Join us in ensuring the success of all CCCS students. Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay connected.
As always, my door is open and our team welcomes your input. Please feel free to contact me via email at the address below or call to make an appointment to speak with me to discuss any ideas you feel will make this the best year yet!
GO Grizzlies!
Blessings,
Pastor Joe Mendez
