A Message from the Principal

Dear TCS Family,

As we wrap up the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to thank our TCS students, parents, and faculty for the warm welcome I received this semester. Stepping in as your High School Principal mid-year could have been a challenge, but your kindness, encouragement and partnership made it a true joy.

In just a few short months, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know many of our incredible students and their families. Your commitment to excellence, your heart for each other and your desire to grow in Christ have left a lasting impression on me. I’m excited for what God is doing at Trinity and even more excited for what lies ahead.

As we head into Summer, I encourage you to slow down, rest, and enjoy time with those you love. Make room for laughter, reflection and most importantly, time with the Lord. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just enjoying a slower pace, may this be a season of refreshment and renewal.

Looking ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, we’re already preparing for a great start. Here’s what to watch for over the Summer:

  • Senior Retreat Information

  • Class Schedules

  • Info Sessions

  • Meet the Principal and Administration Events

  • Additional Calendar Updates

Mark your calendars, August 5th is the first day of school and it’s going to be an amazing year!

Have a safe and blessed Summer, Trinity family. I’m grateful to be on this journey with you.

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.

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).
