Dear Future Cougars... |
Not long ago, we were students at schools you now attend.
Here's a few pieces of advice from us to you. Work hard and make us proud!
-TCHS Senior Class of 2013
"Do your best at doing your best."
"Don't procrastinate and pick classes you know you can handle, but choose those classes wisely."
"Give 100 percent effort in all you do, especially when it comes to academics."
"Join a bunch of clubs, sports and extracurricular activities. It makes everything so much more fun, and you get involved more. And participate in Spirit Days!"
"Get a planner! No matter if you take all regular classes, take all Advanced Placement (AP) classes, or a mixture of both, get a planner and stay on top of the game."
"Get involved in whatever you feel passionate about and experience new things."
"Enjoy your time in high school. You will be given many opportunities and you will make so many memories, so take what TCHS gives you and run with it."
"Brace yourself for success."
