On the Weekend of May 5th, the Collin County's track team participated in the TAPPS State Meet, where at least two students placed 1st in events. 
While overall, Coram Deo Collin County Campus boys team placed 3rd and girls placed 4th, we want to extend a congratulations to all of our State Qualifies, State Medalists and State Champions on their hard work and perseverance throughout the season. The entire team was blessed with great running weather throughout the weekend, as well as a slew of support from family and friends.

The Collin County Cheerleading team wrapped up the end of their season in a memorable showcase to family, friends and peers. 
Coaches, Brittany Evans and Eryn Hall, both coordinated the Grammar School's elective Friday cheer class to start the show. These cheerleaders in training showed off their learned skills in a lively routine. 
For both Varsity and Junior High teams, there were routines with popular music and incredible stunts from the cheerleaders. 
For CDA, we know that God has given us as His children the abilities to jump and shout for joy, and these girls exemplify this well. 

Last week, our Collin County second grade classes participated in the annual Grammar School History Festival.
Those second graders presented all about the Greek culture, art, sports, and philosophers. 
The second graders work diligently all year to be ablet to make it to these fests that are put on as a showcase for parents and friends. They start by reciting a song they've been learning in class, but all of them have memorized the Nicene Creed by memory. This impressive feat for second graders accumulates the standard that CDA holds, as we also live by this Nicene Creed in and out of the classroom. 
Next, these students recite their also memorized Greek alphabet! From A-Z or Alpha to Omega, these smart students showcased their studies in strides. 
Each student also had a personal presentation on one of the forementioned categories, explaining the history, people, and giving examples behind all of them. For example, some female students did a presentation over Greek makeup and jewelry, describing where the Greek women would find and how they would make the ingredients for the makeup. 
For some male students, they would give cunning and descriptive notes of the Olympic games or accounting the Greek Gods.
To hear these very intuitive second graders stand up on their own and speak clearly, owning their education that is presented, it is a privilege to see just where the University Model of CDA can take them! 
Our teachers, parents and families have been well-involved in their process the whole year, and we want to thank all of them for their hard work also.

On Tuesday night, January 23rd, the Collin County Basketball teams celebrated Senior Night by recognizing three Senior players. 
During halftime, the families of our players came together to stand with their Senior, showing unity and support for all their accomplishments with the Basketball teams. 
The ceremony began with honoring Senior Peyton Cheney, who played on the Girl's Varsity Basketball Team. Peyton walked out with her mother and father on each arm, along with her younger brother. 
Next, came John Paul (JP) Dolle, a player for the Boy's Varsity Basketball Team. A point guard, JP walked out alongside his parents, giving mention to how he wanted to be "just like his own father" when he grows up. 
And last but certainly not least, was Senior Christan Rogers. Christian also walked alongside his parents; his mom actually being a teacher here at the CC campus, recognized the powerful moment of her son being honored as a Senior. 
The whole gym had a mood of celebration as the Seniors were honored for their dedication to the team as well as their hard work at CDA as a whole. 

In December 2023, the Collin County Drama Department performed William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". A great feat for the department, this play brought with it incredible set design that transported one right into the scenery, as well as outstanding performances by the cast and crew. 
Led by Dean of Students, Mr. Armstrong, the Drama department spent hours rehearsing and creating a magical Shakespearian world. These incredible photos were taken by Emily Faux, Senior '24. 

For CDA, these are the moments where the Classical and Collaborative nature of the school comes into full illumination. We are grateful for the hard work of these students, leaders, and parents who all were invested in making this show a success.
