Center School Community Association (CSCA)
About CSCA
The Center School Community Association (CSCA), is an educational enrichment and advocacy group that works to cultivate an excellent educational environment for all TCS students.
We do this by listening to our students, families, and teachers to understand and by advocating for their needs in order to provide the best education possible for our students. We also engage with our community through communication with the weekly Dragon’s Fire newsletter and the TCS Annual Auction.
