Continuing the Tradition

TRA Continuing the Tradition

In November of 2006, the Continuing the Tradition Capital Campaign was launched by the Advancement Office and Board of Directors to raise funds for a new high school building and elementary addition. Over $830,000 was pledged for this 5 year campaign. The high school building was constructed on the old Rebel Field, where TRA had hosted football games since 1970. This 42,000 square foot building contains 12 general classrooms, the 4k-12 grade library, two state-of-the-art science laboratories, a technology center, a college and career center, and a cafeteria/multi-purpose room. The multi-purpose room is named "Legacy Hall" in honor of our TRA grandparents. A donor tree is in the hallway with leaves honoring the grandparent donors and their grandchild. The expansion to the elementary school added 12,000 more square feet for the Junior and Senior Kindergarten programs and new specialty classrooms for art and Bible. Some middle school building adjustments have also been made to result in more classrooms. A donor sign is located in the TRA connector with the names of all of the wonderful families and friends that helped to make the TRA vision a reality.
