sites/default/files/NEWS - SCC Ohana Award.jpg
In Hawaiian culture, the word “Ohana” means family in extended form. It can be through blood, adoption or intention.
At South Central Calhoun, everyone is looked upon as extended family. According to plaque provided to the Titan upperclassmen by the Youth Empowerment Association of Fort Dodge, “family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.”
At the heart of this family whose colors are purple and black, the late Jacy McAlexander was the one who brought the family together.
At the YEA’s seventh annual Kids Choice Awards, held on April 29 at Fort Frenzy in Fort Dodge, SCC’s work in recognizing and honoring Jacy – their proverbial brother – was rewarded with the YEA’s “Ohana Award.”
