CHRISTIAN CENTRAL ACADEMY
Pre-K-12 Private College-Preparatory School39 Academy Street Williamsville, NY 14221
Prefects (Grade 12)
The office of Prefect is the most prestigious student leadership position of honor and service within the life of the school. Prefects serve the mission of CCA and the student body by having school-related responsibilities and activities in their own area of gifting (Prefect Positions). These positions provide the opportunity for senior students to develop important leadership skills.
The office of Prefect is open for all students in Grade 11 to apply at the end of their Junior year. Prefects are selected from all those who meet the qualifications by a committee of faculty members.
The criteria for selection include, but are not limited to:
* Maintaining good academic standing
* Demonstrating potential to lead
* Participating in Christian service
* Exhibiting Christian character
* Showing a concern for younger students
House Leaders (Grades 6-12)
House Leaders are selected to help lead and make decisions for their appointed house, either Lewis, Bonhoeffer, or Edwards, within the school. These students are responsible for helping promote house spirit, organizing events, and encouraging participation within their houses.
House Leaders are chosen based on their leadership qualities and involvement within the school community. Their role is to foster a sense of unity and team spirit among students, ensuring that their house remains active and engaged throughout the school year.
CCA House System
The CCA House System is designed to foster community, unity, and spiritual growth. It helps students find a place of belonging, offers leadership and mentorship opportunities, and strengthens school spirit. Through serving, creating community, and competing, students are encouraged to spur one another on toward Christ.
All students are assigned to one of three houses for their entire duration at CCA, and siblings will be placed in the same house. The houses are supported by a House Counsel, made up of staff members, and led by House Captains and Prefects—student leaders selected to guide and serve their house.
Throughout the year, students will participate in House Huddles during advisory time (middle and high school), as well as quarterly in-school house competitions (K-12) that showcase the diverse gifts and talents of all students. Houses will also organize various activities and connection groups, allowing students and families to engage in house events based on gender, grade level, or all-inclusive.
Our goal is to create a strong, Christ-centered community at CCA, where students are encouraged to be leaders, thinkers, and servants for Christ!
The Three Houses:
Student Ambassador Program
The Student Ambassador Program is coordinated by Admission Coordinator. This program selects students who have been highly recommended by their teachers for their excellent character, academics, and sociability to help represent CCA in a significant way.
The main responsibility of a Student Ambassador is to allow a visiting student to shadow them for a day at CCA, attending each of their classes and showing them how great it is to be a CCA student. Ambassadors also play a key leadership role in the school’s annual Open House and visits to other schools to promote CCA.
Being a Student Ambassador is a wonderful opportunity to display God’s love to school visitors while also developing valuable leadership skills
Class Officers (Grades 6-12)
CCA’s Class Officers are students who command the respect of their classmates, are honest, hardworking, reliable, and a good example to their peers. These students regard and observe the rules of the school, display good character, and believe in and support the mission of CCA.
Elections for class officers are held in the spring for the next academic school year. (Only students who are registered for the next school year are eligible to be candidates and to vote.)
Class officers represent their particular grade and act as liaisons between the student body and the school’s Administration.
