More than 75% of our students participate in athletics, where teamwork and character are forged through competition.
In the fine arts, creativity takes center stage—whether shaping clay, singing on pitch, or perfecting a recipe. Leadership and service are woven into the fabric of campus life, with clubs and volunteer opportunities that inspire students to lead with purpose. At TFS, every student can find their place, pursue their passions, and thrive in a diverse, vibrant community.
I discovered that establishing relationships with peers and staff created space for opportunities. I was a member of the cross country and track teams, I was in a play, I took visual arts and music, and I did eSports. I was president of the Interact Club and part of the ambassador program. I made it a point to learn everyone's name and establish a relationship with as many people as possible. Timothy Beck
