(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - A great diverse school with some fabulous teachers and staff members, and acess to a wide array of programs. there is very little that you can't do at T.C. if you put your mind to it. That said, we all need to do a better job of supporting our more challenged kids to be more successful.
