SCA Adds Six-Plex to Campus

Summit Christian Academy will be adding a classroom six-plex to the SCA Campus. The building will be installed and ready for operation after Thanksgiving Break. “It is through the incredible leadership and work of Secondary Principal and Director of Operations Mr. Hesman, Academic Dean Dr. Gill, and Director of Finance Mrs. Constant, that we are blessed to be able to install this building that will house some 7-12th grade classes,” shared SCA Head of School Mr. Chris Hahn. “It will be located behind the SCA modular buildings and will include restrooms, six classes and a hallway that opens internally with two entrances/ exits.” SCA is utilizing funds obtained from Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS), a grant for a lease-to-purchase opportunity. “Dr. Gill was instrumental in helping us secure the EANS funding for SCA and is to be commended for her work on this project,” shared Mr. Hahn. “We are paying for site plans and architecture work on the facility, however the EANS Grant will provide all other funds to help purchase this much needed space.”

Design plans for the additional classroom six plex that SCA will be adding to the campus this fall.
