Life At JCCA The times shared together by students at JCCA are filled with laughter and love. Friends share rides up- town, gossip sessions, and the “pains” of growing up. The wide variety of extra-curricular activities makes it possible for each student to choose the one in which he is most interested. The teachers at JCCA want each student to excel to his highest possible ability, and they provide a figure for stu- dents to admire. There is a true feeling of uni- ty felt in the halls of John C. Calhoun Academy — where everyone is a Warhawk at heart. (Right) Friends take time to clown around at break. 6 Student Life
