Welcome to Tri-County Jr./Sr. High School
Celebrating the School Year
As we head into the final quarter of the 2025-2026 school year, I want to take a moment to commend our students and staff. Despite the usual winter hurdles, our momentum hasn’t slowed. If you’ve followed our social media lately, you’ve seen the incredible energy in our classrooms since January; it’s been inspiring to watch our students engage in opportunities that prepare them for life beyond our halls.
Real-World Readiness & Career Success
We’ve hit some significant milestones this semester that directly impact our students' futures:
- Workforce Partnerships: In January, four of our seniors began a specialized internship with Chief Buildings in Rensselaer. After their initial training, these students are now spending part of their school day on the manufacturing floor, applying the technical skills they mastered in our welding program.
- A Bright Future: The feedback from Chief Buildings has been outstanding. We are incredibly fortunate to have local partners who provide the "real-world" bridge between high school and a career.
Academic Excellence & College Transitions
Our seniors’ dedication in the classroom is clearly paying off as college acceptance letters continue to roll in. We are thrilled to announce that the Class of 2026 is already seeing incredible success with in-state institutions.
Currently, 13 students have been accepted to Purdue University, 6 students to Indiana University, and 3 students to Ball State University. It is worth noting that several of these high achievers received acceptance letters from multiple universities, giving them excellent options as they weigh their future paths. This level of success is a direct reflection of their hard work and the rigorous academic environment fostered by our faculty. We look forward to tracking the journey of these students—and all our graduating seniors—as they transition into their next chapters.
Looking Ahead: Graduation 2026
While we celebrate these individual wins, our administration is busy preparing for the main event. The Class of 2026 has been proactive in planning their next steps, and we can’t wait to see where their paths lead.
