Ready or not, it is that time to transition. To transition from the chill and leisure of summer back to the classroom. Back into the grind and the swing of all things in the school year. At the beginning of this academic year with our many feelings, expectations, fears and hopes ,we call upon the Lord. While some in our community are moving into their last year at Trinity, our freshman students are just getting started. However, it is a new start for us all. Help us to remember that the Lord has gone before us. Bless us all with your gifts of awe and wonder at what lies ahead. Be with us we take advantage of every day to be molded and shaped according to your will and your way. Let there be a thirst for knowledge, wisdom and understanding. May the hearts of the students be ready to learn this year. Open their ears, may they crave knowledge and seek it out. Grant us with the gift of discernment to make the right choices daily and to seek you first in all things. We place this school year in your hands, have your way with us! And all of God’s people say.
Amen.
Let’s do this!

Counseling Team
Kayla Whittle serves as the Counseling Department Head and is directly responsible for serving our 11th and 12th grade students kayla.whittle@tcslions.org.
Upcoming seniors: start making a list (if you haven’t already) of the colleges you are planning to apply to! Be sure to write down details and deadlines so you will have an idea of timelines…(Mrs. Whittle and senior teachers will be helping with this once school starts but it is always a great idea to get ahead of the game a bit!)
Brian Long is our 9th grade Academic Counselor brian.long@tcslions.org and Brian Fourman is our 10th grade Academic Counselor brian.fourman@tcslions.org.
Even though the Counselors have grade level distinctions, they are all open and available to come alongside of our students to assist with navigating various needs that arise.

Dual Enrollment means that you are “dually enrolled” at both TCS and your DE Institution.
Online learning systems, grading systems and communication policies are all different in DE courses. Blackbaud will not have DE grades posted.
Parents are not permitted to contact college level instructors. Students must take full responsibility for their own grades, attendance and success in these classes.
Dual enrollment courses and programs at other institutions do not always align with the TCS breaks/holidays calendar. Students are responsible for understanding their own Dual Enrollment schedules and must fulfill the appropriate institutional attendance requirements.
