Announcement from Mr. Smith

Dear CECP Families, 

It is with both sadness and excitement I am announcing my resignation from CECP.  Sadness because I have to say goodbye to the many students and parents I have had the joy and satisfaction to see enrolled and succeed here at the school, and excitement because of the great opportunities I know still await you. 

I have seen great things happen in the seven years I have been the Dean of Students, and served on the incredible Leadership Team of CECP.  I was fortunate enough to see my oldest two children graduate with their Associate’s Degree from CECP and I am thankful for the education they received. Each student’s life is so incredibly valuable and important and I want nothing less than to see each of you pursue your hopes and dreams with tenacity.  Greatness awaits you! 

Please know, students, this was not at all an easy decision for me. There have been many prayers and late nights awake wondering if this was the right thing to do. 

A great opportunity has presented itself to me, and as we have instructed the students of CECP to show GRIT and Growth Mindset, we as school leaders must exhibit the same character traits. I was approached for this new opportunity and I look forward to what God has in store for me and my family.   

So again with great sadness, I say goodbye, but equally, with great excitement, I encourage you to continue your motion forward and seize what is before you. 

Best Regards, 

Scott Smith

Free Cybersecurity Camp at ACC

June 13-17 or July 11-15

The US Department of Homeland Security defines cybersecurity as “the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.” In this emerging field, you may not have a clear impression of who works in cybersecurity, and what a job in cybersecurity would look like - isn’t just one job—it’s a varied and dynamic collection of careers. For kids who love puzzles, cybersecurity can be an exciting gateway to all the aspects in the world of information safety. ACC’s summer camps are helping students explore how cybersecurity works, get some hands-on foundational skills, and explore career possibilities, all culminating in a Digital Escape Room event on the final day.

Tuition for this Summer Youth Camp is being funded through scholarships provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Seats are limited to 15 high school students who are recommended by their school district, on a first come, first serve basis. Seats will fill up fast!
