Amanda Guzman, Ph.D. '07, assistant professor of anthropology at Trinity College, Hartford, CT, and an anthropological archaeologist, was the guest speaker for Honors Night. She earned her doctorate in Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley.
Students were inducted into the National Honor Society, which honors students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Students were also inducted into the English, Social Studies, Spanish, Mathematics and BETA honor societies.
Amanda told the students, "Remember to: Walk forward together - in communities that you join, that you care for, and that you build. Walk forward together - to continue to authorize your presence in academic spaces with the self-validation that you in so many ways that matter, have already succeeded. Walk forward together - unapologetically proud of who you are, where you come from and what you already know."
Reflecting on the evening she said, "“It was powerful to both see all the new physical transformations to the SCA building and education, while observing that our ongoing contemporary challenges have not diminished the strength of unique connection between the students and within the community of learning.”

A few seats left this summer for the
Higher Achievement Program (HAP)
for students in grades 6-8
beginning July 5
|
|
There are just a few seats still available for SCA's Higher Achievement Program (HAP) which runs July 5 through July 22, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Higher Achievement Program (HAP) at SCA is an immersive program targeted at preparing girls entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grades for the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools (TACHS). Over the course of the program, students will be exposed to the testing format, test-taking strategies, and area-specific content in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, students will also be introduced to the high school environment, SCA’s STEM Lab and Robotics program, and a variety of sports.
What sets HAP apart from other summer prep programs is its holistic benefit. Students will enter the program and be assessed on their skills in a diagnostic exam. Before the end of the program, students will be retested to measure their growth in each area. Students will also be given recommendations for continued preparation for the TACHS and in the academic school year.
