Hello, TCA & GRS Families!
Fall sports is upon us! I would like to take a second to introduce myself as your new Athletic Director for your Twin Cities Academy/ Great River School Tigers! Yes, you read that correctly, TCA/GRS has now become the Tigers with new colors of blue and bright gold! You will see the new transformation with our new uniforms at all sporting events with opportunities to purchase Tiger gear for your self! We are trying to recreate a new atmosphere for our students and families to increase school spirit and excitement! I am simply asking that you please be patient with us while we transition our website to reflect our vision!
Great River looks forward to our new partnership mascot! Look for spiritwear with our shared logo!
