Striving For Excellence
January 2016
Dear Tomcat Students and Parents,
This semester is filled with great opportunities for our students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Academically, our students will continue to produce quality products, perform on assessments and take EOC exams. Our UIL Academic Team members are preparing to compete in a variety of events. Student athletes we will compete in basketball, softball, baseball, golf and powerlifting. FFA students will participate in numerous stock shows, career and speaking development events. Our robotics team and CTE students will have opportunities to showcase their products. And finally, our fine arts program will host an evening to display their talents.
We encourage you to support all our students and celebrate their achievements. Follow the TBHS High School Web page for upcoming events and results.
Thank you!
