TCAPS Alert Early Release Day
It’s National School Counseling Week, and let’s be honest: our school wouldn’t run without the heart and hustle of our amazing counseling team! ✨

Whether they’re helping our Seniors navigate college apps, lending a listening ear during a tough day, or helping a student find their path, they are the ultimate MVPs. They do so much more than "schedule classes"—they help build futures from the 1st day of Freshman year to walking across the stage at Graduation.

Why we love our counselors:
▪️The Advocates: They always have our students' backs.

▪️The Listeners: No problem is too big or too small.

▪️The Visionaries: Helping our students see potential they didn’t know they had.

Take a second today to stop by their office, drop a note, or tag them below to say THANK YOU for everything they do! 🖤💛

High school graduation is right around the corner, and for many seniors, the "what’s next?" question can feel pretty overwhelming! 🎓

Check out this great feature by 9&10 News highlighting how local schools are supporting students through this major life transition.

A special shoutout to our very own: Brandee Ludka, Guidance Counselor at CHS, for her insight on making the process smoother. She emphasizes that the key to success is starting the conversation early—opening doors to possibilities as early as freshman year! Her work with the students at Central High School is invaluable.

Whether it's using tools like Xello to find a career "match" or exploring trade schools, the military, or the workforce, the goal is to turn that senior year stress into excitement for the future.

Read the full 9 and 10 News story here.

For more information on course selections and Graduation guidelines, please visit our Central High School website!

Proof That Magic is Real (and it lives in TC!)
They say it takes a village, but this holiday season, our "village" showed up like a total powerhouse.

We are still catching our breath from the sheer kindness shown through our Holiday Giving Tree and Student Support Network. Because you chose to give, over 130 of our students walked into the holidays knowing they are supported, cared for, and—most importantly—truly seen.

A Special "Thank You"
A massive, heartfelt shoutout to Harvest Bible Chapel of Traverse City. Your partnership and incredible generosity didn't just provide gifts; you provided peace of mind for our families and bright smiles for our students. You are the MVP of making a difference!🌟

Why we love this community:
The Heart: 130+ students felt the love.

The Hustle: You stepped up without hesitation.

The Hope: You reminded our kids that they belong to a community that has their back.

To everyone who grabbed a tag, made a donation, or spread the word: Thank you. You didn’t just give a gift; you gave a core memory.
