Student Spotlight
Senior, Ashlyn Johnson, successfully passed the Certified Nursing Assistant Exam on 1/22/20. This means that she is a CNA even before graduating from High School! We are so proud of Ashlyn for trailblazing this program, and leading the way for many more TCS students to accomplish this in high school as well. Ashlyn has a huge jumpstart on her career in nursing by completing this program while only 17! Congratulations and GREAT WORK Ashlyn!
