Message from Principal
Greetings Sugar Creek Charter School Families. I am Richard Russell, your Elementary School Principal. I have been working at SCCS for twenty-two years and counting. My experience consists of starting as a substitute, twelve years as a classroom teacher, numerous administrative positions and currently the Elementary Principal for the past seven years.
Sugar Creek Charter school has been in existence since 1999 and our Mission has never changed. Our Elementary staff strives collectively and collaboratively every day to eradicate generational poverty for the lives of our students and families. The pillars that consistently move our students into success are the level of support with data driven instruction, intentional culture building, and character education to prepare for life readiness.

Character Education
Character Education is a high energy class with high energy lessons where students are free to be themselves while growing strong each day as a scholar and as an individual. All Character Education lessons are for the whole child that reaches them socially and emotionally. We want every student to know and understand that it's ok to be different. Our differences are what make each of us great as we strive daily to be better than we were the day before. You don't have to wait to be great. You can be great now, so you'll be even greater tomorrow, and in the future, you'll be the greatest.
