Dear TVHS Parents and Students.

My name is Misti Juergensen, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Activity Coordinator at Thompson Valley High School! This year, I am excited to work alongside our wonderful staff and students to make the most of the many opportunities we have here at TVHS. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the chance to find something they’re passionate about and get involved in our vibrant school community.

High school is a time for exploration, growth, and fun! Getting involved in clubs, sports, or other extracurricular activities is one of the best ways to connect with others, build lifelong friendships, and develop new skills. Whether you're into art, science, sports, or leadership, there’s something here for you. Being active outside of class adds to your high school experience in ways that will stick with you long after graduation.

I encourage everyone to take a moment and check out our updated Activities Page. Here, you’ll find a full list of clubs, organizations, and activities, along with information on how to join and when they meet. If you’ve ever wanted to try something new or get more involved, now is the perfect time!

If you have any questions or need help finding the right fit, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s to a fantastic year full of activities and opportunities!

Go Eagles!
