  5. The opening date for the application for FAFSA is October 1st using the past year’s income tax information. Most universities will require that this is filled out before awarding any scholarships. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to get started. This is a federal application for financial assistance and is a free service. This is to be done for any college in the U.S. not just for Texas.

Questions regarding college planning and transcripts should be directed to Shawna Gaccetta, our Dean of Academics.

Senior Trip

At CCA, we believe in serving Christ and promoting the Great Commission. Each spring, our senior class takes part in a week long mission trip. This tradition began with the Class of 2017, and will continue for years to come. The senior class has the opportunity to select which country they feel God is leading them to serve. Our senior classes have served in one country thus far, Costa Rica.

If you would like to help our seniors go on this trip, please consider donating. If you have questions regarding the senior trip or fundraising opportunities, please contact our Administrator, Jennifer Mitchell.
