Alumni Success Stories

Success stories of TCCA graduates in college, the military, the vocations, and in education abound. Some of our former students have even returned to teach at TCCA! Seeing our graduates succeed is the most rewarding part of our work as Christian educators.

Ernest graduated from the Ivy League's Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 2007. He is currently a reporter at The Associated Press in New York City. During his senior year at TCCA, Ernest was accepted to Boston University, Northeastern University and the University of Maine, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.
