Hometown Clinton - Fall 2017
PUBLISHER & EDITOR Tahya A. Dobbs CFO Kevin W. Dobbs CONSULTING EDITOR Mary Ann Kirby “Tracy and I decided to look into a school with a smaller class size and a more personal approach to education. What we found at CCA was an amazing opportunity for our son to not only thrive academically, but also have the ability to excel in athletics. The life lessons he has learned from playing sports for the last three years at CCA will help him in every aspect of life. I would highly recommend CCA to any family!” -Tracy and Jimmy Thomas Call to schedule your tour today! 601-910-5990 101 W. Northside Drive, Clinton, MS You Maer to God!
