Great Teachers, staff and students. High school, with out all the pressure of not fitting in. Tri City Prep makes students feel like they can be them selves without judgment and peer pressure. The students care and support each other and the education my student is receiving is the best in the district, if not the state. I am glad we chose Tri City Prep and I am sure you will be too.
