Principal Cindy McMahon speaks into a microphone on stage with graduates of The Community School.

Last night, 40 graduates of The Community School celebrated receiving their diplomas with staff and families at the Fox Theatre.

“Sometimes it felt like TCS learned what your comfort zone was just so it could then play jump rope with it, and I am so grateful for that,” shared student speaker Tahlia Stevens. “I know so much more about who I am because I was pushed out of my comfort zone. TCS has helped us all grow in so many different ways, because it has continuously pushed us.”
