Tipton Mayor Leadership Program

Students from THS are partnering with Mayor Schmiker, The Tipton County Foundation, and the Shafer Leadership Academy to become the next generation of Tipton County Leaders! We will follow up throughout the year to show you the amazing work they are doing.

Mrs. Gonzalez's Class is a Force

The physics class made use of Tipton Ford Field, beautiful weather, and a rope to get first-hand experience with forces.

THS Grows there Own!

THS added a new pathway that allows students to get experience of what it would be like to become a teacher. Pictures is a recent panel discussion that let current THS teachers and staff explain their path through education, and their "Why."

The goal of this pathway is for Tipton students to pursue education as. a career, and hopefully get them back to to TCSC!

Weekly Message

Greetings THS students, families, and community members,

I hope everyone had a great Pork Festival Weekend! Downtown looked packed! I hope everyone had the chance to visit and enjoy the festivail.

As we get closer to fall homecoming, be sure to check with your student to order class shirts. Check out the dress up days, and get prepared to participate. Homecoming is only as fun as the students, staff, and community put into it! Our student council has been busy planning a great week.

We are 20 school days in, which is nearly half way first through the first quarter. As always, I want to remind everyone to check Powerschool frequently for grades, attendance, lunch balance, etc. If you have questions, we are available to help! That said, if you notice your student is struggling, be sure to read about our After School Homework Tables for some extra time and help.

As always, thank you for being a part of the Blue Devils community!

-Mr. Leach

Afterschool Homework Tables

Every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the school year, THS offers time from 3:10-4:15 to get additional help from our outstanding teaching staff.

There is no need to register, students can simply show up in the high school library after school and get to work! There are always two teachers supervising this time, and they can help with homework, organization, and many other struggles a high school student experiences.

This is a great, quiet time for students to stay on top of their academics.

Alumni Spolight

We are looking for more ways to live the phrase, "Once a Blue Devil, Always a Blue Devil".

One way we would like to do that is by recognizing the amazing Alumni that have graduated from THS. Below is a Google Form that any one can fill out to nominate a THS graduate for recognition. The information from the form will be used to create an alumni post on our social media accounts.

If you know a Blue Devil Alum that has gone on to do amazing things in their lives after graduation, please complete the form. Be sure to upload a high quality image for the slide.
