Welcome to THS & the school of your future high school graduate! Class of 2020

What does it take to succeed in high school? The research tells us: Parent involvement in young adolescent students' transition from middle to high school is critical. When parents are involved in students' transition to high school, they tend to stay involved in their child's school experiences. When parents are involved in their child's high school experiences, students achieve more; are better adjusted, and are less likely to drop out of school. The concern for educators is that, typically, parent involvement in young adolescents' school related activities decreases during the transition from middle school to high school. -Transition from Middle School into High School Nancy B.

Safety & Security Reminders: Parking on campus, though not free, is a privilege not a right. Cyberbullying is the same as bullying, ZERO TOLERANCE! Bullying is not just a threat of violence, it is anything threatening, harassing, embarrassing, or insulting.
