Believe, Achieve, and Serve
November Alumni Voices
I left SCS with so much of God’s word hidden in my heart, that I was prepared to defend my faith.
I am so thankful for my years at SCS that guided me toward a satisfying and successful music career with the San Francisco Opera and Ballet Orchestra.

Q&A with Chris:
What are some of your favorite memories of SCS?
"My favorite memories of SCS, to name a few, are beating St. Francis in basketball, arm wrestling Mrs. Conway-my 6th grade teacher, and the time I tried to mail a cookie to a pen pal soldier in 4th grade."
How did your education at SCS help build the foundation for a lifelong relationship with christ?
"I valued the importance SCS placed on students knowing Christ. It was emphasized in the curriculum, chapel, awards ceremonies, but the biggest impact came from the teachers who showed us every single day in the classroom that Christ was their personal Savior."
Q&A with McKenzie:
What are some of your favorite memories of SCS?
"My favorite memories are from 4th grade with Mrs. Picking. She was strict and the lessons were challenging in a good way, but what I remember most is when she would cry tears of joy whenever she talked about Jesus. The things I learned in her class still stick with me to this day.”
In What ways did your education at SCS equip you for success?
"I am so thankful for my years in the band program that have brought me to a satisfying and successful music career. The level of excellence expected of us and cultivated in us prepared me for high school music, college music, and then being a professional musician. The everyday work, practice, time, and focus that went into learning an instrument prepared me for all of high school and beyond."
