A Message from the Director
Parents and Students,
Collegiate Academy students achieved so much this year! Three National Merit Scholars, one Gates Scholar, 72% of the class of 2019 earned an associate degree, and the overall passing rate for the entire school in college classes was 96%. Our students are on their way to carving a path of success! Thank you parents for your support. I can't wait for August and we get to do it again. However, I would like to say goodbye to our parents and students in the Class of 2019! Best wishes students as you begin your next adventure! Remember you will always be a Phoenix!

COUNSELORS'S CORNER
IMPORTANT information for students regarding TCC Fall Classes:
Students, it is important that you do not make any change to your current Fall 2019 TCC Schedule. This includes changing the actual course to another course and making changes to the course section (changing the day/time that the course is scheduled and/or changing the professors).
If you need to make a change to your TCC Fall Schedule, please contact the Collegiate Academy Counseling Office prior to making the change. All changes made to schedules without prior approval will result in the class being dropped and the student incurring all associated course costs.
If TCC makes a change to your schedule over the summer (such as dropping you from a class that doesn’t have enough students), please contact the Collegiate Academy Counseling Office immediately so that we can help you register for another course/section.

TSI BOOT CAMP June 17-21
TSI BOOT CAMP June 17-21 for Rising Sophomores and Rising Juniors
TSI Boot Camp for rising sophomores and rising juniors will be held on June 17-21 from 9:00am – 1:00:pm. TSI Boot Camp is MANDATORY for rising juniors who have not yet passed TSI Writing and TSI Reading. It is highly recommended for rising juniors who have not yet passed TSI Math.
Juniors only have 4 semesters left to finish high school and their associates degree. All associates degrees require a college math credit. It is hard to prepare for the TSI tests while taking college and high school classes. Rising sophomores, I highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity to become TSI complete. I have emailed a google sign-up sheet to all rising juniors and rising sophomores who have not passed all TSI exams. Parents please encourage your students to sign-up! Bus transportation will be provided from Mustang-Panther Stadium to Collegiate Academy each day if we have several students who need assistance with transportation. Because Mrs. Waters and I need time to prepare for our students’ individual needs, the deadline to sign up for TSI Bootcamp is June 4, 2019. There will be another TSI Boot camp opportunity in August during our summer bridge program. Details on the August bootcamp will be announced in The Phoenix News soon.
Here is the link to the sign up sheet: https://forms.gle/qE1E2WMrkrjqD1BE7
