Athletics plays an important role in developing the discipline and competitive spirit required for academic success. JCA has a tradition of athletic success that is second to none. More importantly, there is no greater feeling than running onto the field, taking the court, walking on the course, or cheering in the Hillzone as an Angel or Hilltopper.
