We invite you to join us for an informative session on navigating the college application process, career planning, and ensuring you feel confident and prepared for life after high school. Whether they’re aiming for higher education, entering the workforce, or exploring other paths, we’ll be providing valuable insights and tips to help make the best decisions for your future.

This event is specifically designed for Seniors from the Class of 2025 and their parents.

Over 40 THS Student Government leaders represented us at the annual SEMASC Conference held at Silver Lake Regional High School. Our students were engaged and spirited as they further enhanced their leadership skills during this full-day workshop.

THS student Logan Rebello is part of the MA Skills USA State Officer team and traveled with all of the State Officers from all of the Career and Technical Education Student Organization's around the country to Washington DC last week for the Washington Leadership Training Institute. The MA Skills USA state officer team met the Secretary of Labor to discuss changing the law regarding Co/OP and the student use of equipment like commercial mixers.

The THS Garden Club under the leadership of Ms. Houlker has been busy trying to grow radishes and herbs! Let's hope for some rain!

Picture day is next Thursday & Friday. Students will have their pictures taken during English classes. Students will be provided information on how to order pictures online (information is also below).

The main office lobby and the library have recently received new furniture. The library also had a new carpet installed. The main office lobby furniture is great for students to learn collaboratively during a class period with their teacher. The library will open next week for students as well and it looks great!

Here is a look at some of the fall sports events happening over the next week!
