Tustin High School News

It was a Homecoming weekend to remember! Festivities kicked off on Friday with a fun Homecoming assembly featuring performances by Band, Cheer, Choir, and Dance Team. We celebrated athletes participating in Fall sports including Cross Country, Football, Flag Football, Girls Tennis, Girls Volleyball, and Boys Water Polo. ASB created friendly competitions for students and teachers that included a eating baguettes and drawing the Eiffel Tower, an homage to our Homecoming Dance theme of "An Evening in Paris". Homecoming Dance will be held on Friday, 9/27 @ 7-10pm in the THS Plaza. (Please note change in time)

Saturday night's Homecoming game against Yorba Linda was exciting and intense, as both teams were undefeated going into the game. Tillers played hard in a game that was neck-in-neck until the very end. Tillers lost 35-31, but we are proud of our boys in doing so well against a tough opponent.

During halftime, we crowned our Homecoming Royalty, Leah Lenhardt and Tatyanna Reyes. Congratulations to the other Tillers who were honored as part of this year's Homecoming Court: Andrew Hernandez, Jadon Hotchkiss, Raquel Marshall, Dylan Minesaki, Abraham Rojas, Lauren Tindukasiri, and Sandra Zarate!
