Wildcat Weekly
Vol. 21 Issue #8 September 13-17th
Tomball Memorial High School Tenet of the week: Community.
At TMHS we believe that a collaborative culture is the key to high-quality instruction. We prioritize this collaboration at all levels at TMHS: from students in the classroom, teachers and their content teams, administration in leadership teams, decision-making committees, student groups and organizations, booster clubs, parent organizations, extracurricular activities, and beyond. The sense of community through collaborative culture in each part of TMHS is a piece of what drives the success we see from both our students and staff.
