The National Honor Society recognizes high school students who demonstrate the four pillars of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. TLC has had a National Honor Society chapter since 2014.

As we wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to give a shout out to our entire Education Staff for their monumental impact on our students and families.

This week, our staff was showered with food, treats from our TLCPA, and these great T-shirts, which perfectly capture how we all define our amazing Educators. Thank you for all you do! #thankateacher
Happy Nurse's Day! We appreciate all our Nursing Department does for our students - and our staff! #ThankaNurse
