A Message to High School Parents

Dear TCS High School Parents,

Exciting things are happening on our campus! With Spring Break just around the corner, we are quickly approaching the final stretch of another incredible school year. As we continue to provide a Christ-centered education, we are committed to finishing strong. Here’s a glimpse of what’s ahead in the coming weeks:

Be on the lookout for an upcoming video introducing “Senior Spotlight”, a special series highlighting each senior’s journey. This is a meaningful time for our seniors as we reflect on their experiences at TCS and celebrate their next steps after graduation.

We are also thrilled to honor our students’ academic achievements this year. Our recognition ceremonies will have a fresh look and feel, but the heart remains the same, to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our students alongside you, their families. Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you for your continued prayers, partnership and support. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk this journey with you and your students.
