It’s The End of The Year, and Scholarships Are Here!

Congratulations are in order for the TAF Academy graduating class of 2017! For most of the senior class, their academic journey with TAF Academy began seven years ago in sixth grade. Since then, they’ve been given opportunities to shine as leaders in the community, scholars, artists, innovators and more. As the school year comes to a close and the culminating event of graduation approaches, their hard work has become increasingly evident. Two-thirds of our seniors have been awarded college scholarships, and the announcements continue to trickle in every week.
