Please watch out for an email from Direct Grad for ordering information for your student's cap and gown for graduation. Seniors will be given a pamphlet with ordering information prior to winter break. Senior graduates of 2025 must order this year's cap and gown from Direct Grad, as this is a different company than previous years. Students will be unable to use a cap and gown from previous years as they will not match this year's cap and gown. Ordering information is also available in the main office.

There is still time to order pictures from Dorian Studios that were taken at Retake Picture Day, Make Up Picture Day, and Registration, and Senior Photos, and Senior Photo Retakes. Please use this link to order pictures for your student. You will need an access key code. If you do not have an access code, please follow the steps on the Dorian Studios website to obtain this code.

Timberline’s Girls Basketball Holiday Skills Camp is a winter break tradition, providing girls grades K – 8 the opportunity to learn skills and techniques that will improve their basketball playing ability. We will use drills to teach skills such as ball handling, shooting, passing, and footwork, as well as have players compete in competitive drills and games. Players will get great coaching from Timberline’s basketball staff as well as varsity players and all camp participants will receive a T-shirt for coming to camp. Please join us for an exciting camp and we look forward to working with all our future WOLVES!

Camp will be Friday, December 27th at Timberline High School. We will split camp into two sessions:

Little Wolves Camp: 12:00-1:30 PM. This camp is for players in grades K-4. This camp will teach basic skills in a fun filled environment working on developing a love for the game while at the same time improving camper's basketball abilities. Campers will receive individualized instruction based on ability level by both coaches and current players to maximize improvement.

Future Wolves Camp: 1:30-4:00 PM. This camp is for players in grades 5-8. This camp will continue to improve on skills learned in the Little Wolves Camps but add additional competitive situations in which campers can improve their skills and compete against each other in drills and games. Campers will receive individualized instruction based on ability level by both coaches and current players to maximize improvement.

Please see the links below for registration information.
