Tustin High School News

Tillers toured the beautiful Cal State San Bernardino campus on Thursday, thanks to an enrichment grant from Tustin Public Schools Foundation that paid for bus transportation. Students walked the expansive campus and learned about majors, programs and support services. They even saw a bowling alley and pool tables in the Student Union!

CSUSB is one of 23 Cal State campuses and only one hour away from Tustin. Popular majors include Business, Nursing, Criminal Justice and Psychology, but there are many more to choose from. There are dedicated services and programs to support first generation college students since 81% of CSUSB students are first gen. To learn more, take a virtual tour at https://www.csusb.edu/the-college-tour.

Mrs. Sarah Hughes' Advanced Theatre Arts class put a lively and interactive improv show last Thursday and Friday. Students performed humorous on-the-spot scenes and games based on audience participation and suggestions. It was a great time for all who attended!

For the second year in a row, THS Boys Soccer hosted a Middle School Soccer Tournament with our feeder middle schools: Columbus Tustin, Sycamore Magnet Academy and Utt. Each school sent two teams who faced off on Friday and Saturday at the Annex and Stadium. Championship games will be held on Friday, May 3 at 4:00 and 5:00 pm in the Stadium: CT vs Utt in the Varsity Final and SMA vs Utt in the JV Final.

The soccer tournament has provided middle school students an opportunity to experience high school athletics, build community across TUSD schools and keep middle school students engaged in the last quarter of the school year. Connecting and supporting other schools in the district is part of our work as a community school. Thank you to our Boys Soccer Coaches, especially Head Coach Hector Najera, for coordinating this opportunity!

Congrats to all the TUSD Teachers of the Year and especially to our very own Mrs. Abbey Zinsser, who is also the district Secondary Teacher of the Year! The Tustin community is invited to celebrate TUSD Teachers of the Year on Friday, May 10, at Irvine Marriott. To purchase tickets or sponsor this event, please visit https://www.tpsf.net/toy.
