The school focuses on academics to prepare their students for college life. HistoryTri-City College Prep High School was founded on $2000 and a promise to a man shortly after he died. While Paul W. Bear was on his deathbed, he gave his granddaughter, Mary Ellen Halvorson, $2000 and told her to make that money grow into something he’d be proud of. His granddaughter spent years of hard work researching what investment would make her grandfather proud. After receiving her doctorate in education, Mary Ellen Halvorson decided that the best investment for that $2000 was to invest in the education and future of younger generations. In 1998, Dr. Mary Ellen Halvorson designed a high school to prepare young adults for college. She developed a school that allowed students still in high school to take college-level courses. The school opened its doors in 1999 on the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Just as Halverson planned, her idea grew into a career. In 2005, the school made enough money to move into its own campus only three miles from its original. In 2008, they built a gym to accommodate the want for athletic teams, such as Basketball, Volleyball, and Crew Rowing.[3] Today, TCP has become known for its quality education focusing on college preparation and offering college credits from both Graceland University and Yavapai College. Within the state, It was one of five high schools in 2011 to make Arizona Business & Education Coalition's list of "All Subject Higher Performing Schools."[4] It was also ranked 68th best by U.S. News & World Report in 2015.[5] TCP is proud to say that 98% of every graduating class continues to higher education after high school graduation. As per the promise made to Paul W. Bear, the school is continuing to grow to make his original $2000 everlasting. AcademicsTCP offers an intense high school academic program including Advanced Placement and Honors courses. Some courses offered include Chemistry, Geometry, Shakespeare, Civics, etc. In addition to high school courses, TCP offers classes available for college credit by Yavapai College. Some of these classes include Calculus, Biology, Speech Communication, Computer Networking, etc.[3] AthleticsTCP currently hosts six sports teams through the AIA.[1][3] Fall Sports
