Principal’s Message

2026 – 2027 School Year

Welcome back, Tigers!

Dream It. Build It. Lead It.

Welcome back to TMSA Apex! Whether you're returning to our halls or joining our community for the first time, I am thrilled to kick off another year of growth, discovery, and leadership together.

This year's theme, Dream It. Build It. Lead It., captures exactly what we hope for every student who walks through our doors. We want them to dream boldly about who they can become, build the skills, habits, and character to get there, and lead with confidence in their classrooms, their families, and their communities. As a Leader in Me school, this isn't just a slogan for us — it's the foundation of how we teach, how we support one another, and how we prepare our students for life beyond TMSA Apex.

  • Dream it Discover strengths and set big goals
  • Build it Grow skills, habits, and character
  • Lead it Lead with confidence, in and out of class

Last year, our students, teachers, and families worked together to earn recognition as an “A” rated school by the state, a true testament to what's possible when high expectations meet strong support. We carry that momentum into this year, not to rest on it, but to build even higher. Excellence isn't a destination for us; it's a daily habit.

  • An “A” rated school Recognized by the state for student achievement and growth
  • A Leader in Me school Building leadership and ownership in every student

None of this happens without partnership. Education is a shared responsibility between school, home, and community, and I am grateful every day for the families who reinforce learning at home, the teachers who pour their hearts into every lesson, and the students who show up ready to grow. Together, we create a place where curiosity is celebrated, differences are valued, and every child is equipped to lead a life of purpose.

Here's to a year full of big dreams, hard work, and even bigger achievements. I can't wait to see what we build together.

Welcome to the 2026 – 2027 school year at TMSA Apex — let's dream it, build it, and lead it, together.

Warm regards,

Mr. Serdar Yuksekkaya Principal, TMSA Apex
