TMHS Presents : You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

We wanted to share some exciting news about an upcoming performance at Tomball Memorial High School. The high school students will be presenting You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

The show features the beloved Peanuts characters and promises to be an enjoyable experience for all ages. We know our kids and families will have a fantastic time supporting the students in this fun and heartwarming production!

Our 3rd grade students will have the opportunity to see the play on their Field Trip on January 22, 2025.
