Congratulations, TCS!

Well done, Trussville.  Trussville students, Trussville parents, Trussville city leaders, Trussville City Schools BOE and Superintendent, Trussville teachers, Trussville administrators, Trussville support personnel.  It truly "takes a village," and when everyone in the village goes above and beyond, we succeed.  Every TCS employee played an important role in helping all of our schools achieve an “A” on the recently released state report cards.  According to The Trussville Tribune, TCS is #2 in the state, just behind Mt. Brook.  This is fantastic, but not surprising.  Every school and every department has been focused on teaching and learning and implementing strategies that support the curriculum and rigorous instruction.  This focus, along with informed decision making, has resulted in this improvement.

I am certain that there is a correlation between this improved student achievement and the increase in adult learning in our district.  Every adult in our district continues to grow and learn.  I think about how much we have all learned in the past few years.  The more we know, the better decisions we make and the more students learn.  Intellectual work is hard, harder than manual labor.  TCS has transformed into a true learning community, where our first priority is learning.  We know that as long as the adults continue to grow and learn, so will our students. 

Welcome back to an amazing learning community as we start our second semester!  We have lots to do this upcoming semester.  We will blink, and it will be May!
