MAY IS UNITY MONTH AT TIGARD HIGH SCHOOL
Unity Month, a long-standing tradition at Tigard High School, is an opportunity to highlight some of the groups and communities that make Tigard High a wonderful and diverse place. Each week a different group of students will share their culture, experiences, issues that they currently face, and opportunities for advocacy. Unity Month allows students to learn about their multifaceted school community in an effort to bring us all closer together.
