Traverse City High School - TCAPS

Traverse City High School - TCAPS Traverse City High School is a 10th-12th grade alternative high school and is part of the Traverse C

Carrying forward the tradition of caring for individuals regardless of their background or of their particular issues with traditional education, the vision for Traverse City High School is to create an environment with expanded opportunities that will create success for all. Primary to this vision is the belief that all students can learn and learn well – a corollary of this belief is that the teachers and staff have the resources to make the vision come true. Teachers will learn and apply new skills, use physical resources and time differently, and make expanded use of the community. Helping students learn how to make wise decisions, manage conflicts and work individually and in groups is also a part of the vision for Traverse City High School. There is a great focus on the individual needs of each student with emphasis on teaching those skills and knowledge that students do not have. In addition, the staff and students will work collaboratively in the evolution of a program that will successfully carry students into the 21st century.

SRP Action Spotlight: SECURE 🔒

Directive: "Get inside. Lock the outside doors."

When there is a potential hazard outside the school, such as nearby police activity, we use SECURE. All exterior doors are locked, everyone stays inside, and normal activities continue inside the building.

SRP Action Spotlight: HOLD 🚪

Directive: "In your room or area. Clear the halls."

A Hold action is used when hallways need to stay clear, such as during a medical event or maintenance cleanup. Classroom instruction continues as usual behind locked doors, while hallways remain clear until the Hold is lifted.

This week, TCAPS is launching a 6-week safety awareness campaign! 🏫 Protecting our students and staff begins with clear communication. That’s why we use the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), the official response framework recognized by the State of Michigan Office of School Safety.

Watch this quick video to see how the SRP works: https://youtu.be/jH-EY3yGZDs

The SRP uses shared, clear language built around 5 core actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Follow along over the next 5 weeks as we highlight each action!
