High School

Ms. Sides’ Family Community Service class recently showed off their green thumbs at the High School. From planting a crepe myrtle tree (kindly donated by Olive’s Nursery) and beautiful lily plants (donated by Home Depot) students dedicated their efforts to pay homage to the awesome TLCA High School Principals. It was a feat getting all 3 Principals together at one time due to their busy schedules. As you can see, they share gracious smiles and appreciation for this wonderful act of kindness.

It’s a great day to be an Eagle!

On Monday, May 13 the TLCA High School Sports Booster Club presented the 2018-2019 Sports Banquet held at the TLC Complex.

While over 300 attendees (Athletes, Families, and Friends) enjoyed a catered meal, they were treated to a wonderful message from motivational speaker, Cody Hodges, who formerly played quarterback for Texas Tech and professionally.

Upon conclusion of the message, Athletic Director, Coach Brent Rider directed the evening as each Coach handed out special awards to their respective athletes.

There were many wonderful awards and moments shared: Some highlights include: "The Fighting Eagle Athletic Scholarship" awarded to Kaiden Kirkland, Brianna DelaCruz, Delayna Smith and "Athlete(s) of the Year" awarded to Taylor Garner / Brianna DelaCruz

A special thanks to the Booster Club, the TLCA Maintenance Crew, individual volunteers who joined in, and TLCA Junior High’s 8th grade National Junior Honor Society for their volunteer effort. The evening was a tremendous success because of the collaborative effort of so many.

Congratulations to the HS Eagle Band for making a 1 (Superior Performance)
at the Sound Waves Competition at Schlitterbahn this past Saturday. Excellent job everyone!


Go Eagles!!!

TLCA High School students and staff bore witness to an awesome event! Thanks to the collaboration of Family Consumer Science Teacher, Elizabeth Sides and Science Teacher (and artist) Scott Sustek, Principal Appreciation Day was showcased in AMAZING FORM!

High School Principals, Johnny Burleson, Casey Ferguson, and Mrs. White were honored with a student-led prayer from Senior, Nick Bosworth and then witnessed the unveiling of 3 handmade cement benches (with an embossed eagle on each), a beautiful tree and flowers/plants to enhance the occasion. These tokens will be constant reminders of the powerful and positive impact of our 3 outstanding TLCA High School Principals.

(A special thanks to Olive's Nursery, Home Depot, and TLCA Staff for their contribution to the supplies...and students for their participation).

TLCA High School's Orlando Romero has had a remarkable year. This year he has yet to be beaten in the 800m. Recently, he placed first running a 1:59 at the Region I 3A Track and Field Championships held at Abilene Cristian University. Orlando punched his ticket to the Texas UIL State Championships with that performance. He is the reigning 2019 District, Area and Regional Champion in the 800m and is seeking an individual state title on May 9th. After high school, Orlando plans to further his track career at West Texas A&M University. Go Buffs!

Recently, TLCA HS Track and Field athletes competed well and represented TLCA like champs! Orlando Romero ran the 800m run and won 1st place time: 1:59.88 He then ran the 400 and got 7th with a time of 51:01 He will advance to the state meet in Austin!

Taylor Garner ran the 800 and finished in 12th place. His time was 2:07.00

Seth Levesque placed 5th in the triple jump. He jumped 43'-10.50". This was his personal best.

Abryana Pruit ran the 100m dash and finished 5th place with a time of 12.56.

Well done Eagles! We are very proud of you!

On Thursday, April 25, Mr. Sustek’s High School Chemistry Students benefited from an outreach by ASU Chemistry’s Dr. Ralph Zehnder (aka "Dr. Z") and his star chemistry students (who also happen to be interested in teaching).


(The ASU Chemistry program has a mobile program and visits different schools in the spring after their exams are completed). Dr. Z and his various acolytes have been dazzling Mr. Sustek’s chemistry classes for at least the past 6 years, and he was happy to continue the tradition at TLCA.


Students from Mr. Sustek's 6th-period chemistry class (as well as those in Mr. Hedden's class) came together to participate. The ASU crew demonstrated appropriate chem-lab safety and worked with liquid nitrogen (with a temp of 400 below F) to demonstrate gas laws and phase changes. Furthermore, they demonstrated a carbon tower by dehydrating sugar with sulfuric acid, rapid decomposition of a gummy bear with potassium permanganate, and other chemistry party tricks.


Students left with more interest in pursuing science as a career. We will always welcome any opportunity for them to return, maybe in the future with TLCA grads!

Today was a big day for 12 of our TLCA seniors! All are headed to Angelo State University to further their education. The following students are receiving Carr Scholarships to ASU: Harrison Ragan, Casidy Hansen, Kaiden Kirkland, Ana Marie Rangel, Rey Manuel, and Taylor Garner. Congratulations to each of you!


The following students are also headed to ASU: Brooklyn Harding, Delayna Smith, Bri Dela Cruz, Christen Sanchez, Jayce Cropper, and Gordon Picon. We are super proud and happy for each of you. Wishing each of you much success...
