Tustin High School News
Week of October 23, 2023
This Week at THS...
What an incredible week we had at THS! Last week, we came together to celebrate our annual Hispanic Heritage Month Kermes, which we combined with Report Card Night this year. We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our Community School Specialist, Mrs. Pat Hsieh, and our dedicated Cultural Celebration Committee for organizing a fantastic event brimming with performances, games, delicious food, and a strong sense of community. Our Tillers truly know how to unite and celebrate one another. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Did you get a chance to read this week's TUSD email? Tustin High is once again in the spotlight as we continue to recognize our extraordinary community.
Report Card Night signifies the halfway point of our first semester. Families and students had the opportunity to collect their quarter report cards and engage in one-on-one discussions with teachers. As we step into the second quarter, let's stay committed to making progress. Our ultimate goal for every student is to achieve a grade of C or higher in every class, ensuring that all Tillers are prepared for college and future careers upon graduation.
With Fall Sports gradually winding down, we also had a week full of senior celebrations. We are incredibly proud of all our Tiller student-athletes. Keep up the excellent work!
Go Tillers!
Los 6 Granjeros
aka "The 6 Farmers" were among the many student performances of the evening.
