THS Meet the Teacher Night- (6:30-8pm) Parents, you may want to print out your student’s schedule prior to coming. If not, you can access the schedule through Skyward on your mobile device, or we will happily provide a hard copy to you upon arrival to Meet the Teacher Night.

While most of the THS faculty and staff will be here, it is important to note that many of the Alvin Community College (ACC) professors teach night school. As such, Dual Enrollment professors do not typically attend the THS open house.

Underclassmen-

• September 11 and 12- Underclassmen will be taking their Yearbook photos on either Wednesday, 9/11 or Thursday, 9/12. 9th-11th grade students need not make an appointment. They will be escorted to the photographers during their English class period.
• Please note that we will not be accepting cash or checks on picture day. If you would like to Preorder your student's picture you may do so at atCADY.com/SchoolPictures

Seniors-

• Senior photos, including Senior Yearbook photos, are more elaborate and take a bit more time, so seniors will need to schedule an appointment. Cady Photography can accommodate Senior Photo shoots either at their studio, or on the Turner Campus during what they call Road Shows.

Calling all parents as we kick off Project Graduation 2025.
