I find my years at TCHS were pretty good. Never had any problems with the teachers, or students for that matter. There are a plethora of opportunities to get involved. The choir is very successful, as are the other academic UIL teams. The band under the new band director is just amazing, as are the other extra curriculars, including a new video production club/class and architecture classes. The teachers are amazing and are actually interested in their students, if the students give them a chance. At least, the AP teachers. The new administration is cracking down and the school is really shaping up behavior-wise as well as literally as the new school is nearing completion. I look forward to seeing how TCHS will grow and change in the future.
