CCS Alumni Spotlight

Anthony Carter

I went to Campus Community for 3 years. After graduating high school I joined the United States Marine Corps. In the Marine Corps I became part on a Fleet Anti- Terrorism Security Team or FAST. In that team I had the opportunity to train in multiple weapons systems: M16A2, M9 Beretta, non-lethal ammunition, and multiple explosives. I also learned to deploy into a building via "fast roping" or sliding out of a helicopter via rope. Through FAST I became close quarters battle qualified and trained American and foreign militaries around the world. I have lived in Spain, Greece, Germany, Italy, and Lebanon. I obtained the rank of Sergeant, and also became a scout sniper in the Marine Corps after I moved to Hawaii. From there I deployed to Afghanistan and was a team leader for a sniper team.  The philosophy I learn while attending Campus Community helped me lead Marines into battle, and taught me how to evaluate different situations in and out of war and come to a solid and professional conclusion. I reflect on my experience at CCHS and smile at the memory of the mosaic we built and the warm relationships I had with the faculty there. I hope every student takes advantage of everything that school has to offer. Semper Fi and good luck future graduates.        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ryan Lloyd

CCHS 2006 Graduate

My name is Ryan Lloyd, and I went to CCS from 1998 to 2006, when I graduated from high school. In 2010, I graduated with High Honors from Kenyon College, a liberal arts school in Ohio,  and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in political science at the University of Texas. As I have grown older, my appreciation for CCS' unique educational philosophy has only deepened, and I have begun to realize how many advantages a CCS education provided for me. Thanks to CCS' emphasis on developing skills in writing and oral presentation, I was able to adjust very quickly to the demands of college and grad school, where both of these skills are valued very highly. Furthermore, CCS' insistence on small class sizes meant that I had constant personal interaction with my teachers. As a result, my teachers knew both my capabilities and my weaknesses, and could adjust their expectations and their teaching styles accordingly. In short, CCS has played an integral role in both my intellectual and personal development, and I can only be thankful that I was lucky enough to be a student there.
