FROM THE DESK OF SPENSER NUNES

Eagles Nation,

 I would like to pass along my deepest thanks for the warm welcome I have received from many of you! I have been on the job for just over two weeks, and I couldn’t be more excited to be your new Director of Athletics at United Christian Academy. 

 Throughout the interview process and over the course of the first few days, I have been blown away at the enthusiasm, pride and passion there is for our school and for Eagles athletics. 

 I am beyond grateful to the interview panel, including Superintendent Mr. Williams, HS Principal Mrs. Pack, and JH Principal Mrs. Semanovich, for entrusting me to lead our athletic department. With the help of our exceptional staff, led by Susan Mahony, Renee Martinez, Patricia Ornelas, Krystal Quetel, and Letty Lizarraga, I have hit the ground running.  They have done an incredible job making this transition as smooth as possible. I have also had the opportunity to meet with many of the other amazing team members and coaches around campus and it’s easy to see what makes this place so very successful and special. 

 My focus every day will be on how we can serve our student-athletes and coaches at the highest level while staying true to the mission and vision of UCA. We will also constantly be evaluating how we can improve their overall United Christian Academy experience and how we can partner and support our admissions and enrollment teams. I am truly excited about finding ways to help move our department and the school forward.

 Thanks to the hard work from the previous Athletic Director, Nathan Kok, UCA athletics has an incredibly strong foundation from which we will continue to enhance and build upon. We are committed to being Christ-led servant leaders who will strive for excellence in all things. Our aim is to be a beacon for our community so we may inspire others. Your support will allow us to continue that tradition. 

 I look forward to meeting those that have had a hand in making this such an incredible place to be. But more than anything, I am beyond humbled and thrilled to serve you in His light, while moving Eagle athletics forward into an amazing future. I have the deepest belief that UCA and UCA Athletics are a special place with unlimited potential. I believe that our biggest growth, brightest days, and greatest accomplishments are ahead of us! Thank you for your support of UCA Athletics!

 GO EAGLES! 

In Christ,

Spenser Nunes
