A Message from the Principal
Dear TCS Family,
A Powerful Moment of Unity on the National Day of Prayer
Last Thursday, our entire campus came together to honor the National Day of Prayer and what a powerful and uplifting time it was! Students from Elementary, Middle and High School led us in heartfelt prayers, guiding our school in worship and Biblical reflection. It was truly inspiring to witness our students boldly express their faith and lead with such sincerity. Moments like these remind us of the deep love for the Lord that is alive across our campus seen in both our students and faculty. We are incredibly thankful for a school that places Christ at the center of everything we do.
AP Testing Next Week – Keep Our Students in Prayer
Next week, many of our high school students will participate in AP testing. These students have shown incredible dedication and resilience throughout the year and we are confident they are well prepared for the challenge ahead. Please join us in praying for their focus, peace of mind and strength as they approach these important exams. We are proud of the effort they’ve put in and look forward to seeing the fruit of their hard work.
Final Week of Instruction for the Class of 2025
Next week marks a major milestone for our Seniors as it represents their final week of instruction! As they prepare to take finals and wrap up their high school journey, we ask that you keep the Class of 2025 in your prayers. This is a significant and emotional time for our students and their families and we want to support them with encouragement and love. Graduation will be held on Thursday, May 15, and we are excited to celebrate all that they have accomplished. Go Lions!
