Springfield Christian School

We were happy to welcome back 16 members of the SCS Class of 2022 this week! These graduating high school seniors greeted our current Wildcats, reconnected with teachers and staff, and even had time for a quick PE class. Congratulations, graduates!

Congratulations to long-time SCS Basketball Coach Craig (CJ) Jeffers, who was named a Coach of the Year by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association! The honor caps off a state championship season for Coach Jeffers and the 8th grade girls team; plus, it is the fourth time he has been named an IBCA Coach of the Year. Even more important, though, are his years of faithful, sacrificial service to our school. His legacy is one of humble leadership, and we are so thankful for him. Congratulations, Coach Jeffers!

Congratulations to the SCS Scholastic Bowl team on an outstanding season, concluding with a 3rd-place finish at the IESA Class A State Tournament!

The Wildcats completed the regular season with an impressive 26–4 record and also went 7–0 to win the top division of the PPMS Ben Theilen Memorial Tournament (defeating two eventual state tournament teams).

They worked together as a true team—each player bringing a unique set of skills and knowledge that contributed to the strength of the whole. Special thanks to coaches Tami Schroeder, Jack Sandel, and Jenna Stewart for all of their investment through the season.

Great season, Wildcats! We are proud of you!

For 75 years, God has used the ordinary faithfulness of teachers, staff, parents, volunteers, friends, and His church to shape generations of students at Springfield Christian School. Students, known by name; parents, finding a partner in faith and education; faithful teachers, rooted in selfless service.
