🎾✨ TOPS Student Spotlight: Katie! ✨🎾

Katie recently competed in two big tournaments in Florida and had some awesome finishes. She placed 4th in the Girls’ 18U division at the Level 4 Summer Smash Open in Palm Beach. Katie is only 13 years old and was competing against players up to age 18!

Katie also took 4th place with her doubles partner at the USTA National Doubles Championships in Orlando, a Level 1 national tournament! 👏

We love getting to celebrate the accomplishments of our students both in and out of the classroom. Way to go, Katie! We’re so proud of you!👏

Every student who finds TOPS arrives with a different story.

Some were bored in classes that moved too slowly. Some struggled to focus in a traditional school environment. Some were high-achieving students looking for the challenge of AP courses and dual enrollment. Others simply needed a school that better fit their lives and goals.

What they found at TOPS was a tuition-free Tennessee public school with local teachers, flexible learning, meaningful academic opportunities, and a proven track record of success.

No matter your student's story, TOPS may be the right fit.
