Sierra Vista Community of Excellence Committee (SVCEC)

Welcome to The Sierra Vista Community of Excellence Committee Web Site: Our Current Mission:
SVCEC wants to ensure that children of Sierra Vista, and all of Arizona, receive a high quality education by advocating for adequate funding and resources for our public schools. We believe that all students are entitled to a well-rounded education to include math, science, language arts, music, art, and physical education. Arizona consistently ranks at or near the bottom in most major measures, and we intend to change that.

"America's children depend on us. We must not thrust that burden onto our posterity. It is ours to bear."
~ U.S. Secretary of Education, Rod Paige, January 9, 2002
“The 'back-to-basics' curriculum, while it has merit, ignores the most urgent void in our present system - absence of self-discipline. The arts, inspiring - indeed requiring - self-discipline, may be more basic to our national survival than the traditional credit courses.”
~ Paul Harvey, nationally syndicated radio commentator
"Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and, by studying music in school, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective."
~ Former President Bill Clinton
