A Message from the Principal

Dear TCS Family,

Forward in Faith
Last week’s celebration of Resurrection Sunday sparked a renewed sense of purpose across our campus. In classrooms and conversations, we’ve seen students leaning into their faith with fresh joy and deeper conviction. That momentum carried into this week’s high school chapel, where students worshipped alongside the Trinity Church Choir and heard a powerful message from Mr. Chris Paschal on the spiritual discipline of fasting. As we reflect on Matthew 4:4, we are reminded that true strength comes not from bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

We encourage you to continue this conversation at home, talk with your student about what fasting looks like in the life of a believer and how spiritual habits like prayer and Scripture shape our walk with Christ. Together, we move forward in the victory of our risen King.

Reminder: National Day of Prayer – May 1st

We invite all our Trinity Christian School families to join us in honoring National Day of Prayer on May 1st. This special day provides a time for us as a school community to come together in prayer, lifting up our students, teachers, staff and nation.

As we gather our students in prayer throughout the day, we will focus on praying for the following key areas:

  • Government

  • Military

  • Media

  • Business

  • Church

  • Family

We encourage families to participate as well, whether at home, at work, or within the school setting. Together, let’s unite in seeking God’s guidance, protection, and blessings for our country and our community.

We look forward to partnering with you in this important observance!

Academic Honors Ceremony
Mark your calendars! Our Academic Honors Ceremony for underclassmen is coming up on Monday, May 12th, from 8:30–9:30 AM in the Trinity Gymnasium. We’re looking forward to recognizing and celebrating the outstanding academic achievements of our students. Parents are warmly invited to attend this special occasion, however in an effort to reduce traffic from our carline, please do not plan to arrive prior to 8am.
