The Freshman Academy is a small learning community designed to successfully transition students from middle school to high school. Students and teachers are grouped into teams and are located in the same section of our building, which promotes the small learning community environment.
Teachers are provided embedded time to collaborate on the important conversations regarding our students: curriculum, instruction, student progress, community involvement, etc. As a result, students receive individualized instruction and support services from our staff.
Our freshmen have their own principal, two counselors, and additional support staff to ensure they are thriving in regards to academics, behavior, and emotional needs.
Freshman Seminar is a required course that provides the opportunity to develop essential skills, such as effective time management, goal setting, organization, communication, and technological skills. Students will also embark on a self-discovery mission to uncover personal values and goals that will assist them when choosing a career academy for the 10th grade.
TCHS has an employability growth platform called eOS. Assisting our students in becoming college and career ready is important to us and is part of our mission. Teachers monitor students on the following three criteria:
These scores help students set individual goals for improving their employability in the community, as well as for rewards within their classroom and their academy. Eos also provides students with an opportunity to learn, self-assess, and improve 21st century skills.
