In times of crisis and pain, decision making, and everyday life when we’re looking for direction, may our hearts learn to hear the instruction from the Lord. We can be confident that it is true wisdom from above as it carries with it the sweet aroma of gentleness and peace.
Current 9th-11th Grade Students
It's that time of year again! Let’s start planning courses for next year!
Teacher recommendations are listed in Blackbaud to make registering for next year a simple process. Please follow the directions on the handout LINKED HERE.
If you accept all of the recommended classes, then you are finished with your registration.
If you would like to take something other than a course you were recommended for, then follow this process:
Do not add (accept) that course,
**Complete the following Google form to start the appeal process: https://forms.gle/J55N1f8dXo5msvGr8
Wait for an academic counselor to reach out to you with your next steps.
3) Students were given course request/approval forms (hard copy) in their Bible classes on
Monday, March 7th. This form needs to be completed and submitted back to the Bible teacher by Monday, March 14th.* Students should return the form even if their requested changes have not happened yet.
*Returning the signed form is a course requirement and failure to complete could result in a “zero” on a graded assignment in Bible. This is important as we want to ensure that your family has seen and approved the courses in Blackbaud for next school year.
**IMPORTANT: Students tcslions accounts must be used for this Google change form. Streamlining the form through the student account is the best practice to avoid confusion and to encourage self-advocacy and independence. It is also important, so that duplicate requests aren’t submitted from both the parent and the student. Parents may look at the requests in their account, but they will not be able to request the change.
Remember: “Parents view it, students do it!”
Attendance
Need to get the attendance updated? Need to submit a pre-absence form? Need to communicate with a staff person at the front desk? Morgin Ross and Olivia Weaver are ready to assist. The best way to reach them is via email hsattendance@tcslions.org

Special Assembly - March 14, 2022
We will be welcoming [RAM:CORPS] to TCS. [RAM:CORPS] is a Christ-centered high impact visual brass and percussion troupe from the University of Mobile. They present over 100 concerts and ministry events a year both locally and internationally to elevate the university, encourage believers, evangelize the lost and edify the body of Christ. [RAM:CORPS] offers a dynamic and joyous sonic celebration. Musically energetic and visually passionate programs combine for an explosive praise event.
The high school schedule for that day will be as follows:
half day on 4/1
Making Plans for Spring Break? Maybe you have already reviewed the schoolwide schedule and noticed that we have a half day on 4/1 across the campus.
