March Madness Attendance Challenge has started. We have split the grades into 4 quadrants as they battle homerooms to win the attendance for the week. The winning homeroom advances as they try to make it to the final four.
Brackets will be posted throughout the school and the winning homeroom percentage at the end of the week will advance.
Good luck and let's go Knights!

A routine pest spray will take place on Saturday, March 8. All students will be asked to empty out their lockers and take everything home with them on Friday. For those of you that signed up for hard copy notifications, they will be mailed on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. In addition, we will be closing down two male restrooms for the rest for the week due to vandalism. All other restrooms will be open. Please help us fix this problem by talking to the students about how important it is for us to take care of the school and to not violate the school policies. There has been many upgrades done to the school over the summer and the custodians work extremely hard to keep our school clean. TCMS looks great with all of the added additions. Your assistance to help stop this inappropriate behavior would be greatly appreciated.
