We have many reasons to be proud of our achievements for this school year –
We have over 500 students enrolled in 25 Chinese language classes, 17 math classes and 15
enhancement/culture classes.
5 students completed their 12th grade level Chinese and graduated from CCSA this year.
Our students’ work was published in local newspapers almost every week.
Hundreds of students participated in school-organized Chinese knowledge and culture competitions.
Our math classes’ students participated in the Math Counts competition and achieved great results.
We have established the Senior Student Award Program to recognize students’ long-term
commitment and high achievement in learning Chinese.
Our tie with ASU Confucius Institute and the College of Education has been further developed with
strong mutual support.
We actively participated in various community activities and organized our own school activities.
Our fundraising team has organized another successful golf tournament to raise funds as well as the
awareness of CCSA in a big picture of perspective.
A newly designed CCSA website will soon be launched to better serve our school and community.
All credits for our growing and continued success go to our volunteers and teamwork. It is truly an honor for
me to serve as principal at CCSA this school year and a true privilege to be supported by the school Board,
executive team and parents. I wish our school the best and wish everyone a happy and fun summer.

CCSA has held Chinese Knowledge Competition for a number of years. This annual event provides our
students a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of Chinese language, culture, and
traditions in a competitive, but fun and friendly environment. We encourage students to participate in the
competition on a voluntary basis, and no memorization is required for the competition. Competition styles
and contents varied from Pre-K to 12th grade, from classes of learning Chinese as Heritage language to
classes of Learning Chinese as a 2nd Language. Our higher grade students watched a Kong Fu movie, and
competed in re-telling certain parts of the story; 7th grade students did research on their parent’s hometown;
Conversational Chinese students practiced their language skills on how to ask for help while in a hotel.
The competition has become an integral part of our students’ Chinese language learning. We look forward to
another exciting event next year.

Congratulations to Christine Xu and Jennifer Zhang for the good work, and thanks to their parents for the
encouragement and support behind the scene.
Thanks also go to CCSA for the strong support for the MATHCOUNTS program.

On a more personal level, debate teaches one not only how to present and argue, but fundamentally how to
think. At any of AZ's roughly 10 annual tournaments or the nation's most prestigious ones (Harvard,
Stanford, UCLA, etc), rounds are won on the strength of a competitor's research, writing, presentation, and
most importantly, reasoning. Given what I learned, the friends I made and the great experiences I had, I truly
cannot give a more unequivocal thanks to and recommendation for high school debate.

“Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things, even if we do not get anything in return.
It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is a kindness in
everything we think, say, want, and do.” ~ Emanuel Swedenborg
“In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart,
there is the power to do it.” ~ Marianne Williamson
