A Message from the Principal

Dear TCS Family,

Celebrating Academic Excellence: Honoring Our Kiwanis Scholars

This week, we had the incredible honor of watching 37 of our High School Seniors recognized by the Kiwanis Club of Newnan for their outstanding academic achievement. These students have maintained an average of 95% or higher throughout their high school careers, which is a true testament to their dedication, perseverance and love for learning.

Each of these students represents the very best of Trinity Christian School not only in their academic efforts but in their character, integrity and leadership. It is no small feat to achieve such consistent excellence over four years and we are immensely proud of their hard work and commitment.

We are also grateful to the Kiwanis Club of Newnan for taking the time to celebrate students in our community who are striving for greatness in and beyond the classroom. Their recognition affirms what we already know, that these students are difference-makers, ready to lead with wisdom, courage and faith.

As we look at this incredible group of seniors, we are reminded that academic success is only part of the journey. These students have grown into compassionate, thoughtful and resilient young adults who will continue to impact the world for Christ.

Congratulations to each of our Kiwanis Scholars, you make Trinity proud!

Rising Early, Working Hard: A Strong Finish to Crucibles

As the sun rose over Trinity this past week, so did a dedicated group of high school boys committed to pushing themselves mentally, physically and spiritually through the final week of Crucibles.

Crucibles is our early morning, high-intensity football training, designed not just to build strength and endurance, but to cultivate character, unity, and perseverance. This Spring, our student-athletes embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. With each early morning session, they showed up with determination, grit and a willingness to grow both as individuals and as a team.

We were also excited to welcome our new Head Football Coach, Jeff Schmidlkofer, who got an opportunity to get a sneak peak at several of his football players and encouraged the boys through this critical season of preparation for Spring Football.  Under his leadership, the tone has been set, excellence is the standard and brotherhood is the foundation.

Every participant gave their best effort, day in and day out. These young men are stronger, closer and more focused because of it. We’re proud of the work they’ve put in and even more excited for the road ahead as they continue to bond through hard work, shared goals and a passion for the game.

To God be the glory for what He is building in and through these student-athletes. This is just the beginning.
