Zach Brown | Valedictorian

Over the past 13 years, CCS has given me much more than an education. It’s provided me with an outlet for my faith, wonderful friends and all the tools, both academic and spiritual, to approach my future after graduation with confidence. Thanks to the many Bible classes and Christcentered culture I am sure in my own Christian foundation and my ability to defend my faith.

I will miss the tight-knit community that we have at CCS and the many relationships that I have with peers and faculty - this is something that makes CCS truly unique. Over my 13 years at CCS, some of my best memories have come from when I went out of my comfort zone and tried something different. I am thankful for all the faculty and staff at CCS that pushed me to learn more and expand my interests.

Zach Brown will attend Notre Dame

University next year where he will pursue a degree in computer science.
