What are TSA Alumni doing these days? Check out our list of current information on TSA Alumni, and see the great and interesting things that they are doing throughout the world.
If you are an alumni and would like to update your information with us, please either email Amber Wylie at AWylie@SharonAcademy.net or click on Update Information. We hope to hear from each of you so that all of our alumni are included in this list!
Congratulations to Phoebe Landon (TSA class of 2010) for making the Dean's List at Meredith College with a 4.0! She's majoring in dance with three minors in professional writing, communication and computer science. We wish you good luck, Phoebe, on setting a piece of modern dance for the spring show that is about the Salem Witch Trials.
Congratulations to both Elyza and Emily Chadwick (TSA class of '08) who have been honored with placement on the Dean's List at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., for the fall 2011 semester. The Chadwicks are pursuing majors in Neuroscience. To earn Dean's List honors, a student must complete at least three graded courses and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or above.
TSA was happy to welcome alumni on the slopes of Suicide Six for our second annual Alumni Ski Wednesday! Suicide Six offered our alumni the chance to ski with current TSA students at a reduced rate, and a good time was had by all!
Fifth Annual Alumni Day at TSA
January 2th, 2012
TSA welcomed 40 alumni back to its halls on Monday, January 2nd. Alumni split into groups to talk with all of our current students about "Life After TSA". Our current students asked questions ranging from, "What do you wish you had done while you were at TSA?" to "Are you happy now, and how can you tell?", "What's the one piece of advice you think we should know?" and, "What are parties like in college?"
