The Tipton Community School Corporation has discussed the need to tighten the security of our facilities as to who enters the buildings and when.  TCSC is sensitive and wants to remain open to the public for their use of the facilities, especially for walking.  But under the current arrangements, our facilities are vulnerable. 

The proposed guidelines are an initial plan to make our facilities more secure while meeting the needs of the public.  It may cause some inconvenience for some.  Some may have to change their normal way of doing things.  But the guidelines are designed to keep our facilities open yet secure.

TCSC has setup a form for those who wish to express their opinions about the proposed guidelines ( a copy is on the form).  If you have thoughts on this issue that you would like to share with the school board, go to https://goo.gl/forms/252SzEdMYjVPRZCY2 to leave your comments.  Please do not leave them on this Facebook page.

During the 1996-1997 school year, Tipton High School established the Academic Wall of Fame, as well as the Distinguished Wall of Fame. The goals of the Wall of Fame committee were to honor former students of Tipton High School for their accomplishments while encouraging current students to work toward this distinguished honor.

The Tipton community congratulates the three THS Alumni who were added to the Academic Hall of Fame during the 2017 Seniors Awards Program:
