There are three general behavior expectations at Thomas Worthington High School: build Relationships, show Respect, and be Responsible.

We define build Relationships as “to cultivate belonging”. It is our goal that 100% of our students feel connected to at least one adult that they trust enough to go to when they really need it. From our morning greeting as each student enters the building, to each teacher connecting with each student, to our Wednesday homeroom lessons, we strive to create an environment that is so welcoming - all are inspired to learn.

We define show Respect as “use appropriate language”. We work towards being mindful of the words we speak and the immense power they have on ourselves and others. We learn that the words we say, along with the time, setting, and location have an impact on others.

We define be Responsible as “to attend and be on time to class”. We are intentional about the value of showing up, being on time, and being present for ourselves and others.

Attention Sophomore and Junior Parents/Guardians:

We are now accepting applications for Freshman Mentors for the 2023-2024 school year. Freshman Mentor responsibilities include: easing the transition for all incoming 9th grade students, providing academic and organizational support, and attending a variety of social extracurricular activities to engage with the freshman class.

Students can access the online application now through their respective Schoology pages for the Classes of 2024 and 2025 or by clicking 2023-24 Freshman Mentor Application. Students are also required to get three current teachers to complete online recommendations for them. Both the online application and the teacher recommendations are due by Friday April 28th at 3:20 pm.

Please note current mentors must re-apply for next year. Priority consideration will be given to returning senior mentors and rising juniors. First time senior applicants may be screened through an interview process. Please know that not all applicants will be accepted into the program, so we encourage students to put extra time and thought into their application. If students have any questions, students should contact Mallory Tecklenburg or Alyssa Craft.

The Worthington Robotics Team (WorBots 4145) is proud to announce they are going to the world championships yet again, continuing their legacy from 2018 and 2019! This team of 36 students from both Thomas Worthington and Worthington Kilbourne High School competed fiercely at three regional competitions across the Midwest, rising to the top at Buckeye Regional and Greater Pittsburgh Regional. They won the prestigious Impact Award, the most coveted award in the FIRST program, celebrating the team’s immense impact by spreading STEM and business opportunities throughout the Worthington community. Their success was not limited to business and outreach only, with their robot Eclipse reaching the semifinals at Greater Pittsburgh Regional. Through these achievements at competition, and their continual support of 3 elementary and 1 middle school team, the WorBots have truly exemplified their motto of “Engage, Inspire, Impact.”

Watch their Impact Award video on YouTube and see their robot in action on the Blue Alliance!
