Serving Others, growing personally
The week long Senior Capstone trip offers WC seniors the opportunity to travel together as one family, bringing ministry, song, and aide to communities abroad.
Origins of Senior Capstone
The roots of this trip can be traced back to former high school principal Tom Anglea. Anglea personally knew a man by the name of Ron Bishop, a former college basketball coach who shifted careers to focus on international sports ministry. Bishop SCORE International Ministries, designed to send short-term mission teams around the world to share the Gospel through sports ministry.
Desiring to further expand SCORE’s focus beyond sports ministry, Bishop and Anglea partnered to send WC students to the Dominican Republic for a one-week trip in the spring of 2001. It was a wonderful learning opportunity for all. Anglea desired to make this experience an annual event for seniors, but the class of 2002 was unable to travel internationally during the spring before their graduation due to the tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001. In 2003, the trip resumed and took place every year until 2020.
