A Message to High School Parents

Dear TCS High School Parents,

🎓 In addition to honoring our Valedictorian and Salutatorian, new this year we would like to recognize our Top Ten students of the graduating class. This recognition is based on the highest class rankings for the Class of 2025.

Senior Spotlights are here! Starting this week and continuing through graduation, we’ll be highlighting each of our incredible seniors. Be sure to check out each episode as we celebrate their achievements, memories, and future plans!

We invite you to experience the incredible talents of our students in the Performing Arts! From musical performances to theatrical productions, our students pour their hearts into bringing stories to life on stage. Be sure to check out upcoming events and showtimes by visiting https://tcslions.org/school-calendar. We look forward to seeing you at these amazing performances!

Lions, come out and support our outstanding student-athletes! Our Lions and Lady Lions compete throughout the week, demonstrating hard work, teamwork, and school spirit. With the exception of Wednesdays which are reserved for midweek services for you and your family, there’s a game or match almost every day. Let’s fill the stands and cheer them on! www.athletics.tcslions.org/calendar

Did you know you’re invited to our Weekly Chapel Service? Join us every Wednesday online from 9:55 AM to 10:34 AM for a time of worship, reflection, and encouragement. Chapel is a powerful midweek moment to refocus, be uplifted, and grow in faith together as a school community. Simply click the link: www.youtube.com/@trinitychristianschoollions.
