The class with the most box tops will get a pizza party.

 High School News

High School Class Fundraiser - TCPCS metal key chains are being sold in the front office. Each key chain is $5.00. Money made from this fundraiser will go toward high school activities.   

 

Movie Night - High school 'movie nights' have proven to be a success with strong attendance and overall great behavior from the students. The gym is open for basketball, dodge ball, frisbee (or the giant rubber band!), each classroom has video games to play including the Wii, X-Box, and PS3...(we have some incredible Guitar Hero masters!) There are 2 movies that play through the evening and concessions are sold as well. We appreciate the hard work our Student Council has put in to ensuring that this fund raiser is both a fun and safe activity for our students. The next event is scheduled for May 4th. 

 

Upcoming Events - The student council are continuing to work on plans for the upcoming prom scheduled for May 5th, as well as considerations for a possible talent show and hike for the high school students before the end of the year. Results of these considerations will be forthcoming.
