Student Council Association
The MACA Student Council Association (SCA) is a student-led organization designed to develop tomorrow’s leaders today through a variety of service opportunities and representative responsibilities. The SCA functions on both the middle and high school levels, with each grade level (6-12) choosing a class president and vice president. In addition, two teams consisting of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and chaplain serve their respective peers as representatives and leaders at the middle and high school levels. The MACA SCA promotes student involvement, organizes campus events, and encourages volunteerism among all MACA secondary students.
