TVHS Vision
At Thompson Valley High School, our vision is to provide a profoundly inclusive and diverse learning environment that meets students where they are and empowers them to achieve their personal and academic goals, allowing them to support their life aspirations.
#TVStrong Strength Teamwork Respect Open-Minded Noble Goals
Hey Eagles,
As Eagles, we are all, students and staff, expected to exhibit Strength, Teamwork, Respect, be Open-Minded, Noble, and Goal oriented.
Students now have the opportunity to enter a prize drawing when they have demonstrated at least one of the 6 expectations. All Eagles will need to stop by the attendance office to get an Eagle Bill. Keep the bill in a safe place and don’t lose it! Students can earn a teacher’s or staff member’s signature when they are caught exhibiting an Eagle Expectation.
Once they have a teacher signature for any of the 6 TVStrong expectations, they need to bring their Eagle Bill back to the office to be entered into the drawing. Drawings will happen monthly by grade.
But not so fast student Eagles! Staff Eagles are also eligible to demonstrate positive Eagle expectations. Make sure to ask them how many signatures are on their bills!
Eagle, Eagle, Eagle!
Hey, Hey, Hey!
TVStrong! Do the Eagle thing!
