Both Easton High and Saint Michaels Middle High schools have reported outstanding results for the class of 2017. Of the combined total of 320 students receiving diplomas and certificates, 276 or 87.1% plan to enter college. While 145 graduates plan to attend a four-year college, 131 will attend a two-year college or technical school. Eight graduates will enter the military, and 36 will enter directly into the workforce.
“I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the class of 2017, and I am confident that they will do great things during the next chapter of their life,” said Dr. Kelly Griffith, TCPS Superintendent. “Their success is a testament to their hard work as well as the talented, dedicated TCPS educators and personnel.”
Of the 320 TCPS Class of 2017 graduates,
• 176 (55%) completed at least one Advanced Placement Course before graduating (an increase of 4% from 2016);

• The composite SAT score was 1080 for math and critical reading (an increase of 52 points from 2016), while the ACT composite average remained at 23.
A total of 198 graduates were offered at least one scholarship. A record high amount of $11,996,067 was earned by TCPS students.
