From the Chaplain's Office.....
This past Columbus Day weekend, I had the privilege to record 12 TV shows with the Catholic media company, Shalom World TV.
Shalom World is a TV station based out of India who, two years ago, branched out to the US to try to bring another Catholic station to the airwaves. Right now they are only on the internet, but within a year, they plan to be broadcasting throughout America.
Just this past week, the promo to my TV show and the first episode were released.

Guidance Updates...
SENIORS
Once you have submitted an application you must check to see that the college has received
all the parts of your application including test scores, transcripts and recommendations.
Any seniors who have already received decisions
from a college please let your guidance counselor know. We need a copy of the letter along with any financial awards that were offered. This is very important, as the guidance department will be tracking all college acceptances and financial awards.
JUNIORS
SAT/ACT Prep Courses
: TCHS will be offering both an SAT and ACT prep course run by MEC (Math & English Consultants) Test Prep. Mr. Pavia has worked with MEC at three different high schools since the late 1990s, including TCHS for our HSPT entrance test prep and MEC has always done an outstanding job at preparing students.
Juniors will have an opportunity to take "Test Drives" that are full practice SAT and ACT tests on two Saturdays: Feb. 4 (SAT) and Feb. 11 (ACT). Students will then receive a detailed feedback report on each practice exam they take to help them decide which exam they should prepare for. If a student signs up for a course, the money paid for the Test Drives will be deducted from the cost of the course. Students may take one or both courses.
The ACT course will prepare students for the April 8, 2016 test and the SAT course will prepare students for the May 6, 2016 test. There will be SAT classes offered on Wednesday afternoons at either 3 pm or 6 pm. ACT classes will run after school on Mondays at 6 pm. We will need at least 5 students to run each class with a maximum of 20 students. For more information, please contact Mrs. Crane or Ms. Matthews in Guidance.
Junior Parents Guidance Evening
: On
Tuesday, January 10 at 7 pm, counselors will present information about the college search process and standardized testing and will be available to answer questions that parents may have.
