Congratulations to everyone for working together to ensure a successful school year in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic. The finish line for this school year is only 7 weeks away and we plan to keep our health and safety precautions in place until the last day of school. The safety of our employees and students remains our 1st priority. As we enter these final weeks, TCS will continue to follow the CDC recommendations to wear masks, social distance, wash hands, and sanitize buildings in order to safely complete this school year.

Working together means winning together!

Dr. Pattie Neill

T-shirt designs can mobilize a faculty and encapsulate the essence of an entire school year. That's certainly the case at Paine Elementary School, which will soon add to its gallery of t-shirt canvas art. Starting with the 2018-2019 School Year t-shirt design (art teacher Courtney Holland), 2019-2020's t-shirt (also Mrs. Holland) and 2020-2021's t-shirt (art teacher Angela Santiago) will soon live in perpetuity on the lunchroom walls at Paine. All three designs have been transformed to canvas art to commemorate the many successes during each school year.

Five AP (Advanced Placement) teachers at Hewitt-Trussville High School have been named AP Readers on behalf of the College Board's Advanced Placement Program and the Educational Testing Service. These educators include Rhonda Brittain, Jennifer Coleman, Lacey deShazo, Jill Greene, and Kurt Kristensen. This prestigious honor allows these faculty members to contribute a "huge part of the AP Program's success" which "reflects the high standards of AP Readers who, by virtue of their experience and expertise, have appropriate student performance expectations within their respective disciplines," according to a College Board/AP news release. We congratulate these AP teachers!

"Huskies Hoops Star" Amiya Payne has been named the Class 7A Alabama Basketball Player of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA). In an article with AL.com, Payne said, “This year I had to take more of a leadership role. The last few years I was not as vocal as I should have been. I had to encourage my teammates and bring energy to the game.” Hewitt-Trussville Lady Huskies Head Coach Tonya Hunter calls Payne's work ethic "unmatched."

The HTHS Hospitality and Culinary Arts Academy has once again placed in America's Top 10 for the NASA HUNCH Culinary Challenge! (Last year, HTHS won 1st Place!).

The American Culinary Federation is scheduled to be involved in this livestreamed event. Kudos to Academy Director Mrs. Anna Hallman and her student chefs!

The Academy of Craft Training (ACT) named Hewitt-Trussville High School student David Johnson as March's Employee of the Month for Welding.

In addition, ACT highlights students like Johnson on-site and through social platforms. We congratulate David Johnson on his success!
