Superintendent's Message

Dear Cougar Family,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to welcome our new students and families to the TVCS Cougar Family. For our returning families, we are excited to see you and catch up with you and your students. My family had some brief opportunities to vacation over the summer. I would like to say that the time was restful, but we spent most of it dodging a tropical storm and a hurricane!  As a parent, I am excited (and also a little sad) that this year both my children will be in high school! Where does time go?

This school year brings a renewed commitment to academic rigor and school engagement as we focus on showcasing our students’ commitment to academic excellence. As we move into our 31st year as a charter school, we are pleased to offer our students 9 interscholastic competitive sports, academic competition teams, clubs, after school enrichment opportunities and extensive opportunities in the visual and performing arts. 

At TVCS, we are family! We look forward to sharing with you in our many “big” family events including Bookies and Cookies, Family Math and Science Night, Parent Education nights, and TVCS Has Heart, just to name a few! We also regularly celebrate family time together with early morning coffee trucks, after school treats and “Family Night Outs” at some of our favorite eating places! We will also continue to celebrate our favorite TVCS traditions such as Trunk or Treat, field trips, and grade-level events such as our Egypt Faire and Teddy Bear Picnic.

Our new school year also brings with it the anticipation of the next steps in our new school campus (just across the street)! Although construction timelines can always change, groundbreaking is scheduled for January 2025. 

We encourage you as parents and members of our Cougar family to actively participate in fundraising, volunteering and attending theater, sports, and educational events!  There is an opportunity for everyone and working together we will truly be “A School Family for Your Family”. 

Looking forward to a wonderful year,

Dr. Plaxton-Hennings
