A Message from the Principal
Dear TCS Family,
Honoring the Class of 2025
What a great week we just had celebrating our Seniors! From their Senior Breakfast, Senior Chapel and final walk through the halls to the moving graduation ceremony, we’re so proud of all they have accomplished and the legacy they leave behind. As they step into the next chapter of their lives, we pray for God’s guidance and blessings over them.
As we bid farewell to this exceptional group, we also look ahead with anticipation. Our current Juniors are ready and eager to step into leadership as the next Senior class. We’re confident they will rise to the challenge and continue to build on the foundation laid before them.
Final Exams Are Here
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve reached the final week of school! Final exams are taking place this week and we encourage all students to be well-rested, on time and focused as they finish strong. Please see the exam schedule below and help your student plan accordingly:
Let’s finish the year with excellence and gratitude for all that God has done this school year. As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership in the mission of Trinity Christian School.
CLASS SHIRTS
It is time to order class shirts for the 2025-2026 school year. Our school colors will be represented by each grade. Seniors - Black, Juniors - White, Sophomores - Purple, and Freshmen - Grey. With all the pep rallies that Mr. Wheeler would like for us to have next year, it would be beneficial for each student to purchase one. We are also asking that all students show off the grade their are in by wearing their class shirt on the first day of school.
Student Council members made designs for their grades to vote on. You will find the winning shirt in the link below.

Shirts can be picked up at the school on Orientation Day. If you have a conflict with this day email student.council@tcslions.org. While you can order shirts all year, the deadline to have them ready for Orientation Day is July 20th.
Prayer Requests
The High School Administrative Team would love to partner with families to lift up prayer requests you have. Please fill out the TCS High School Prayer Requests form to submit a request. These requests will be prayed over on a regular basis and kept confidential among the High School Administrative Team.
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.” Colossians 4:2

SENIORS ORDERING FINAL TRANSCRIPTS FROM PARCHMENT
Seniors, when you are ordering final transcripts to be sent through Parchment to your college or university, select "Hold for Grades" instead of "Send Now" if ordering them before June 2. Any orders that aren't held for grades will be incomplete and sent immediately. On or after June 2, you can select Send Now, as they should be complete by then.
FAILING GRADE NOTIFICATIONS
Students who do not pass a course for the second semester will be notified the week of May 26th. They will receive information about the courses they failed and options on where they can make up the credits.
SCHEDULE RELEASE FOR FALL 2025-26
Tentative schedules for fall 2025-26 will be available for viewing the week of May 19th. They will be available for one week and then will be closed for the summer. They will become available for viewing again the week of July 28th.
Students should reach out to their grade level counselor with questions about their schedule. Rising 9th and 10th graders should contact Ms. Hutcheson (michelle.hutcheson@tcslions.org). Rising 11th and 12th graders should reach out to Mr. Fourman (brian.fourman@tcslions.org).
