Clubs with a Purpose:
Faith, Leadership, and Service at TCS
By Samantha DePriest

Through a variety of high school clubs, students are given the opportunity to grow in their faith, develop leadership skills, and serve their community while building lasting friendships and discovering their gifts. From the academic dedication of BETA Club and the National Honor Society, to the spiritual fellowship of FCA, each club at TCS is rooted in a greater purpose: preparing students to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and live out their faith boldly in every area of life.
