2025 Curriculum Night
Students and parents should attend curriculum night on February 6th from 5-7pm to learn about what courses and clubs THS has to offer. There will also be a very important session regarding the college admission process (aimed for sophomore and junior students & parents) presented by Erin McKenzie. Students and parents will have the opportunity to interact with teachers from each department and get a better understanding of what certain courses entail. It's a valuable opportunity for parents to learn important information about their student's classroom / high school experience. We will also be having the 8th grade parent meeting where counselors will go over graduation requirements, the difference between middle school and high school, high school expectations, and what a typical freshman schedule looks like. Students interested in participating in the CCP program are encouraged to attend the CCP informational session with a parent. It is important for students and a parent to attend the CCP session to understand their responsibilities and expectations in the program. Please see the attachment for the schedule.
