We deeply mourn the passing of CV's first principal Dr. Bill Thomas. He was an inspirational leader whose dedication and determination built an incredible school. CVHS and Dr. Thomas were one in the same. He never stopped believing in everyone who passed through its halls and continued to support the school, its teachers, staff and students even after he retired.

SCBC is extremely grateful to Dr. Thomas for his generosity and support since our inception. He was our champion and he fully understood that our mission is to give back to the school and reflect on the exceptional education and community the school provides.

CV has evolved in many ways since Dr. Thomas founded it in 1960. However what has not changed is the deep Falcon spirit that was his vision. We have all benefited from this and should be proud to be Falcons.

Thank you Dr. Bill Thomas.
