Events & Announcements
Take your right hand and swing it around to the left shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back. Give someone a high five, a fist bump, an attaboy or attagirl…We did it! Together we completed a year of high school; for some it was their first year, and others it was their last. Any way you flip it, we have the 22-23 school year under our belts. This year we have certainly had our fair share of struggles, challenges, and suffering. The final days of the semester hit us all hard with a gamut of emotions; from highs and lows, and everything in between. The good news is that the Lord was with us and still is. May we take the time this summer to be refreshed in Him. May we find this break from the regular routine a time to be strengthened in the ways of the Lord. Take time to rest, relax, and refresh so that we are charged up and ready to reignite for what is ahead.
Senior Retreat
Pack your bags and load the buses as we are heading north to the Georgia mountains!
We are excited to offer our seniors an incredible way to begin their senior year! On Aug. 7-9th, instead of starting school here on campus, they will start their senior year together enjoying team building, games, worship and inspiring teaching!
Registration for this event is on your Blackbaud account. Be sure to secure your spot as soon as possible. Questions about this event? Email jp.weaver@tcslions.org
Summer Reading
Only AP classes will have summer reading this summer. Teachers will be emailing the information to students who are registered for the class.
Underclassmen Class Shirts
Recently 9th -11th grade voted on their favorite class shirt that Student Council members designed. This Summer you will get an email for you to be able to order the chosen shirt for your student. They will be available to pick up at Orientation and the first week of school.
Seniors - A couple quick notes from the IT department
Your Email Account will be deleted at the end of July. If you wish to keep any of your data, you will need to use Google Takeout (takeout.google.com) to migrate information to your personal Gmail or Google account. Let us know if you need help.
You will also want to update any websites or email distribution lists that reference your soon retiring email address.
Your Chromebook. In most cases you will be allowed to keep the device that was assigned to you.
If you would like to keep the device we will need to remove the TCS policies that have locked down the device. Send us the serial number of the device so we can deactivate it.
If you are using a Dell or Samsung we will need to make an exchange.
