WCA Hawk Fund

Thank You for Supporting WCA!

During our Week of Giving, we ask every WCA family to consider a gift to the Hawk Fund, our primary fundraising effort.

92% of WCA tuition payments are designated to cover the salaries of WCA staff. The Hawk Fund helps us cover other necessities so that our tuition can remain as low as possible. Over the years, the Hawk Fund has covered :

Technology purchases and maintenance
Educational technology subscriptions (e.g. IXL, iReady Math)
STEAM curriculum
Classroom needs
Special projects

Our goal for the Week of Giving is 100% WCA family participation. Please click HERE to make your donation.

Coach's Notes

The Hawks basketball teams delivered a perfect 5-0 week, capped by a historic first: the high school boys program defeated The British International School of Charlotte for its first win in program history. The middle school teams earned wins over Calvary Christian and Marvin Academy.
This week, the middle school teams host Covenant Classical in the Hawks Nest on Tuesday and Grace Covenant on Thursday. Be sure to come out and support our student-athletes throughout the week. Go Hawks!
