Events & Announcements
A grateful heart that is filled with heavenly thanks and praise to God, is a heart that is ready and prepared to have the peace of Christ fill them up so that it can flow out to others - as a testimony of praise. May we with one accord let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts day by day and moment by moment.. for it is to this that the body in Christ has been called - and let us in all things be thankful.

Homecoming Dance
“A Night of Thousand Lights”
Saturday, September 17th, 2022
7:00pm - 10:00pm
High School Multipurpose Room
For 9th-12th grade
Dressy Casual
Please take time to review the guidelines which now includes examples of options
and what will be approved and not approved.
Our team has been diligent in the dress review process. We appreciate all that have been sending in their photos and cooperating with this request. Our desire is to host a fun and memorable event for our students and promote modesty for all attendees. It is evident by the dress review process that there is great difficulty in meeting the length and style requirements therefore individual adjustments have been made at the time of the dress review. We will continue to conduct the review process but we are aware that pictures sometimes provide an inaccurate view of the actual dress, so we are doing the best we can to require accommodations and modifications as necessary.
Tickets can be purchased next week during lunch in building 5 and after 1st and 6th period in building 1.
Prices are: $20 (12th - 15th)
Students who would like to bring a date who does not go to Trinity Christian School, must fill out the Guest form and turn it in by 9/15

Absent from school
Please be sure to communicate student absences and send in excuse documents to hsattendance@tcslions.org Additionally, the student should always review Blackbaud and communicate with their teachers regarding the work that they have missed. In cases where the student is absent for more than 3 days, we would like to connect with the student upon return, assess their academic needs, and establish a Return to Academics Plan (RTA) accordingly. If students have a medical need related to their absence, please contact the nurse at nurse@tcslions.org to gain direction and guidance as appropriate and necessary based on the degree of the medical need.
