A Message to High School Parents

Dear Trinity Christian School Families,

We’ve had a great two weeks of school, and we can already sense that this will be a wonderful school year. Our students are engaged in their classes, and our teachers are busy teaching. Everything that makes life in a Christian high school special is happening here at Trinity.

Football season has started, and Homecoming is right around the corner on September 13th. However, what truly makes this year feel exceptional is not the hustle and bustle of school, it’s the students and how much they love being around each other. After a while, you can just tell when a group of kids is special. This feels as if this is going to be a very special group of students.

I want to thank you for allowing the staff at Trinity Christian the privilege of teaching your children. As we continue the year, I know this group of students will make all of us proud.

Best regards,

Blake Bass

Assistant Head Of School

Interim High School Principal

Drug Testing

TCS reserves the right to conduct random drug testing for 6th-12th-grade students or drug testing when there is a suspicion of drug use at the sole discretion of the administration. The intent of this policy is threefold:

To provide a safe, respectful environment for all students.
To be a deterrent for those who may be tempted to follow the crowd and try illegal substances. Research has shown that random drug testing does provide a disincentive to do drugs, and it also gives the student another legitimate reason not to participate when facing peer pressure.
To provide redemptive accountability for those who have succumbed. It is redemptive in that, once drug use is exposed, the student and his/her family can face the situation and get help to restore the student to his family and a healthy lifestyle that honors the Lord.

Students who have positive results will be subject to our discipline policies, but it is also our hope that by making the problem known, parents will be assisted in getting the student the help he/she needs. Students who refuse to submit to a drug test may be expelled.

Twice a year TCS will also, in coordination with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Department, conduct random K-9 drug sweeps of the High School campus for the sole purpose of maintaining a safe, respectful environment for all students.
