For the second year, Southwest Baptist University has hosted an event open to Christian homeschool groups and Christian private school groups. Nine different schools attended this academic event. This event is titled SBU College Preparatory Championships. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors from Clinton Christian Academy had the opportunity to attend the event this year which was held on Friday, November 17th, 2023 in Bolivar, MO. Students were tested on their knowledge in certain areas like New Testament, Old Testament, College Algebra and Computer Principles, to name a few. Each student took two tests covering different disciplines. The event was made complete with campus tours and lunch.
After much anticipation by CCA students, the results of the Championship were revealed on December 12, 2023 by Dr. Tim DeClue from Southwest Baptist University. Individual medals were awarded to the following students for outstanding performance: Aric Wilson, gold for New Testament and bronze for Computer Science Principles; Clara Hyke, bronze for College Algebra; Emma Hanson, silver for Psychology; Kennedy Vaughn, bronze for New Testament; Timothy Neal, silver for College Algebra; and Vivian Cronhardt, bronze for English Grammar. Dr. DeClue added to this joyous occasion by announcing that Clinton Christian Academy came in second place overall in this competition. He was sure to add that CCA was only half of a point behind the first place winners! A second place trophy was awarded to the group and is currently being displayed in the CCA office.
