Mecosta-Osceola Career Center Open House!

A regular Board of Education meeting will be held on Monday, September 8, 2025 at 6:00 pm at the Educational Service Center (94 Cherry Street, Sand Lake). 

Meeting Notice

We are excited to announce the opening of the MacNaughton Learning Center (formerly MacNaughton Elementary), a newly refreshed space dedicated to supporting both Early Childhood and Alternative Education programming for Tri County Area Schools. Previously housed at the Edgerton Building, both of these vital programs will continue under one roof in a bright, updated facility designed to better serve students and families. With this move, we’re expanding opportunities and creating a more accessible, welcoming environment in the heart of Howard City.
 
We’ve completed all updated fire and environmental inspections, ensuring that the building is safe, clean, and ready to welcome students this fall. We are also currently in the process of hiring a new building principal who will lead this work and support students, families, and staff at the MacNaughton Learning Center.
 
Beginning this fall, we’re proud to offer five (5) day, full-day GSRP preschool classrooms, Monday through Friday, through our Tri County Early Childhood program—all in one safe and engaging location.

NOW ENROLLING FOR FALL 2025!

Meeting Notices and related agenda below.

Tri County Area Schools is once again participating in the USDA’s Summer Meals program. This program is for  ALL 18 years old or younger, and up to age 26 for those children who participate in a school program for people with disabilities. Children DO NOT need to be enrolled at TCAS in order to participate in this FREE program.

Each child will receive a week’s worth of shelf stable food items, frozen items, and fresh produce, as well as two half gallons of milk: one white and one chocolate. All items will need to be taken as a requirement of the USDA regulations. Families will also be expected to assist in the pickup process this year by exiting your vehicle to pick up food items at different stations. Tables will be set up outside the middle school kitchen, with our fabulous food service staff ready to assist you.

The Summer Meals program pickup will run every Thursday, from 9:15am-12:15pm, beginning June 12^th through August 7^th, and will be located at Tri County Middle School, on the east end of the building near the kitchen door. Please be aware that due to construction on our campus near the Kendaville entrance, you will be required to enter the TC campus via the Amy School Rd entrance near the high school and will be required to exit using the Kendaville exit at the west end of the middle school. Vehicles not following these instructions will be redirected.

We invite you to take advantage of this FREE program! Together We Are TC!
