Dear Badger Community,
We have made it to the final week of our 2024-2025 School Year!
Please review the information below regarding our last week of school, including information on our Half-Day schedules.
This summer our entire THMS campus will be closed due to Bond Projects. Beginning May 24th through July 13th, our Tucson High offices will be moved to Mansfeld Middle School, at 1300 E. 6th Street. Our office phones will be forwarded. If you have any school business after Grading Day, please contact us at Mansfeld.
We expect the new Principal of Tucson High will be appointed this month. Stay tuned in June for more information about registration events for the 2025 - 2026 school year.
It has been a highlight of my career to serve in this interim role at Tucson High this year. This is an amazing school with talented teachers, dedicated staff members, supportive parents, and wonderful students. Thank you for a fabulous year and best wishes to all of you for continued success!
Best,
Catherine Comstock
Interim Principal,
Tucson High Magnet School
Class of 2025!

Here is additional information about Summer School eligibility:
- Students who have failed either a Math or English course will be allowed to enroll to make up either Math or English.
- Grade 9-11 students who are less than 3 credits deficient (other than Math/English) in courses required for graduation will be rejected from summer school enrollment. Students will need to take credit recovery during zero hour next year or a credit recovery class in place of an elective.
- Seniors will be allowed to enroll with any level of deficiency.
- Students will not be allowed credit advancement or grade replacement.
- Students will only be allowed to make up to 1 full credit in June (1/2 credit session 1, ½ credit session 2 = 1 full credit).
- At 3 absences a student will be withdrawn from Summer School. This means absent at first attendance of day 1 = 1 absence. Absent at second attendance upon returning from lunch on day 1 = absence 2. Absent any other time during a given session = automatic withdrawal from Summer School. If a student is withdrawn from Summer School during session for non-attendance, they can try again for session 2 but will only be allowed to make up ½ credit.
- Students will return school-issued device to home school at end of the school year and be issued a new device at their summer school placement. That device will be returned as they exit summer school to the issuing school.
