Walking Together
It is hard to believe that we are only two weeks away from the start of another incredible school year at Trinity Christian School! We hope you are continuing to enjoy these final days of summer with family and friends while also preparing for the exciting year ahead. We are eagerly anticipating all that God has in store for our students, families, and faculty.
If you happened to miss our recent communication regarding new student parking opportunities for the upcoming school year, please take a moment to review the information below in our new section called “In Case you missed it”. We have expanded our parking options and made several important updates that will benefit our students and families.
We also have two exciting events just around the corner that you won't want to miss!
Welcome to the Roar will take place on Friday, August 7, at 6:00 p.m. This special evening is a wonderful opportunity to welcome new families into the Trinity community, reconnect with friends, and cheer on our Varsity Football team during the annual Black & Purple intersquad scrimmage. The evening will conclude with Dr. Anthony leading a time of prayer over our students, faculty, and families as we dedicate the upcoming school year to the Lord. We hope every Trinity family will join us for this meaningful tradition.
Then, on Monday, August 10, we invite you to attend Meet the Teacher. This is an excellent opportunity for students and parents to meet first-semester teachers, become familiar with classrooms, ask questions, and connect with our High School Administrative Team. I always enjoy meeting both new and returning families, and I look forward to seeing each of you as we begin another year together.
As we continue walking together, may we know God more deeply, make Him known more faithfully, and trust Him to guide every step we take. May the Lord bless you and your family this week.

EXCITING ADVANCED PLACEMENT “AP” RESULTS
Advanced Placement (AP) courses represent the highest level of academic rigor offered in our high school curriculum, and our students rose to the challenge during the 2025–2026 school year. We are excited to share that Trinity Christian School continued to improve upon our previous AP exam results, with an even greater percentage of our students earning qualifying scores. Our students also outperformed both the Georgia and national passing averages, a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and the exceptional instruction of our faculty. Congratulations to every student who embraced the challenge of these rigorous courses and exams. Your commitment to excellence continues to reflect the strength of our academic program, and we are incredibly proud of your achievement.
EXTRA ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE IS ON THE WAY……SKILLS!
Senior Retreat
We are so excited to announce our class of 2027 Senior Retreat in the Mountains of Andrews, NC! TCS is partnering with Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters, a gospel-centered Christian camp. Students will enjoy a spiritual retreat full of time for worship, prayer, meditation, team building, and plenty of outdoor recreation!
The theme is “What is the gospel?” Students will be pointed to Christ as we seek to understand the person and work of Jesus in salvation. Further, students will be challenged in their understanding of the role of the gospel in their lives as they continue their walk with Christ.
STEP 1: Parents, go to Blackbaud and pay the registration fee for the Senior Retreat ($150).

Please come with a white t-shirt for boys and a white tank top or strapless top for girls. This will be your only opportunity to take photos through the school.
Student Parking
We are pleased to share an important update regarding student parking for the 2026–2027 school year. With the addition of new parking spaces on campus, Sophomore students will now be permitted to park at Trinity Christian School rather than at the nearby gas station. We strongly discourage Trinity students from parking at the gas station. That parking area is not monitored by Trinity security and carries a significantly higher parking fee than on-campus parking.
Student parking will be marked and designated as follows:
Seniors: The designated Senior Parking Lot will include the former Heirloom space and the Lower Parking Lot. This area is behind the new Trinity Church Office and will be reserved exclusively for Seniors. Please note that Seniors are not allowed to park in designatedTrinity Church Office parking spots or Sage Employee parking spots. All Senior parking spots will be marked.
Juniors and Sophomores: The Upper Middle and West Parking Lots will be designated for Junior and Sophomore parking.
The on-campus parking permit fee for all student drivers is $100 per student and will be charged through Blackbaud. Families who have already paid last year’s parking rate for this school year will be charged the difference. The student parking fee will appear on your family's August Blackbaud Tuition Management invoice.
To receive permission to park on campus, both the student and a parent must complete the "HS - 26-27 Student Driver Permission Form" located HERE and pay the parking permit fee. Once these requirements have been completed, the student will receive a school-issued parking tag. The tag must remain clearly visible on the interior of the front windshield in the lower-left corner from the driver’s perspective.
Only students with a valid parking tag may park in designated student parking spaces during the school day. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to provide a safer, more convenient, and more organized parking experience for our students.
Prayer Requests
The High School Administrative Team would love to partner with families to lift up prayer requests you have. Please fill out theTCS 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
