It's been a great first week of opening ceremonies and competition at Roger Glass Stadium - Home of the Eagles. We kicked things off with Meet the Eagles, welcomed in the community with Kid's Night Under the Lights, held our first competition with men's and women's soccer, and had our ribbon cutting. Now, we are preparing for a sold-out game as we host
our first home football game in downtown Dayton! We are truly blessed to have this opportunity and couldn't have done it without numerous people giving their time, talent, and treasure. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you!
We have had quite a few alumni in awe when they walk through the gates of Roger Glass Stadium. It has been many years in the hoping, planning, and making - the dream has become reality. And while we are truly blessed to have one of, if not the best stadium in the Miami Valley, it is the people of CJ that make it a special place. From our faculty and staff who truly care for the young people that are entrusted to us every day, our coaches who pass on their passion and skills because they believe in our student-athletes, our maintenance and cleaning crew who do so much behind the scenes, our parents and guardians who sacrifice so much, our benefactors and alumni who believe in CJ and support us in so many ways, and of course our students, who bring to life day in and day out the mission of CJ. It truly is a community living out God's will.
So, let us be in awe of the vision and work that brought to life Roger Glass Stadium, but also in awe of the people of CJ as they have made CJ's campus, "Home Sweet Home."
God bless, thank you and GO EAGLES!
