Congratulations to our 8th Grade and Class of 2026 graduates! 🎓

We celebrated two important milestones. Our 8th graders are taking the exciting next step into high school, ready for new opportunities, challenges, and discoveries. Our seniors are closing a chapter at TPA and beginning a new journey as they pursue their dreams, continue their education, and step into adult life.
