About the School
Our middle school is part of the Tates Creek complex, which serves southeast Fayette County. All students take P.E. and a foreign language, rotating every other day, and our performing arts department features chorus, speech, and drama. Tates Creek Middle also boasts a vibrant club sports program, including lacrosse. In efforts to become more green, TCMS has a rain garden on campus and students can participate in a summer environmental awareness program.
