We will resume normal hours on July 22nd. Please see the attached photo for our summer hours.

Please be sure to review the Academic Calendar for the 2024-2025 school year.

Please see the attached Summer Reading List! The PDF attachment specific to AP Lit can be found below, too!

Through our partnership with A+, our teachers spent time this summer working hard to improve their craft. Our admin also attended instructional round training to ensure that we promote excellent instruction. We are grateful for wonderful teachers that took weeks out of their summer for the betterment of our school and students!

Don't worry! There is a makeup date set for October 21st. We will send out appointment sign ups at the beginning of October.

Please be sure you are aware of our bell schedule.

Remember, 1st block BEGINS at 8:25am.

Students should be on campus by 8:20am to prevent tardies.

Our doors open at 7:50am daily.

We have 4 lunch shifts (see below). We do not have an open campus for lunch. All students report to the cafeteria for lunch. Students leaving campus during lunch shifts are subject to consequences.

Contact twilson@tusc.k12.al.us or amarkham@tusc.k12.al.us with questions!

Take advantage of the opportunity to earn high school and college credit simultaneously in Welding, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Industrial Electronics, Manufacturing, and Automotive programs. These courses qualify for the dual enrollment scholarship.

With the exception of AUM 100, all of these courses will be offered in-person at TCTA (either by TCTA instructors or by SSCC adjunct instructors). AUM 100 will be offered at the SSCC Fredd Campus and bus transportation will be provided. Please contact Andrea Markham, TCS Coordinator of Post-Secondary Engagement, with any questions at amarkham@tusc.k12.al.us.

Returning students registration for the 2024-2025 school year will open Monday, April 22, 2024. Students received their Snapcode letters on Friday, April 19th. It is very important that the parent or guardian complete this process. We use this information to ensure we have the correct email, phone number, and address for school communications/updates.

Missed the application deadline? Don't worry- our next deadline is August 9th! Students who register for this session of UAEC 200 will be eligible to take other UA courses beginning with the Fall II term.
