Unfortunately, we're unable to play tonight's Girls Basketball game in our gym due to drainage issues in the locker rooms. The game has been moved to Shelbyville.
We will reschedule our free admission and Joe's Pizza night for another home game. Good luck to our girls this evening!
For those attending in Shelbyville, please be reminded that the JV tips at 6pm and is a shortened game. The Varsity game will start much earlier than normal.
Calling all TCHS students!
Admission to tonight's girls basketball game is FREE for all TCHS students. However, it gets even better-----The first 80 students in the student section will get a big slice of Joe's Pizza. Bring your friends, get to the game, and let's have some fun rooting the girls on to a victory over Shelbyville!
The JV game starts at 6pm and is a shortened game so the Varsity game should start at approximately 6:40pm!
Thank you to Joe's Pizza of Tuscola for helping us create an entertaining environment for our students.

Good morning, music families! Each year we do a Music Boosters concert in February as a fundraiser. This concert makes it possible to raise money without asking students and families to sell products throughout the year. The Boosters have paid for marching shoes and gloves, buses, food for students after events, and countless other items over the years!
The Music Boosters need a lot of help for this concert to happen! Please plan to attend the meeting at 7 p.m. THIS Friday! If many people do a little, no one will be overwhelmed and our students can have what they need to be successful in our music ensembles!
We can't wait to wow you with our Decades theme this year!
