Parking Lot Safety
Please be mindful when driving in our back parking lot. We have a lot of traffic dropping off students; picking up students; parking to come to school; and exiting while leaving school.
We have many students and staff members who are walking to and from the building in the parking lot when many of you are driving in it. Please pay attention. Please stay off your phones while driving.
The speed limit in the parking lot is 5mph and we need everyone to slow down for safety.
Thank You!

- TISD Service Cord Update - SENIOR DEADLINE APPROACHING: MARCH 1, 2024. TISD has updated the hour requirement for students to earn the TISD Service Cord. Class of 2024 - 120 hours, (update) Class of 2025 and beyond - 160 hours. Students submit all hours through their Student Link (same login as HAC, can also be accessed through HAC by clicking on the Tomball “T”).
- FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid) - The 2024-2025 FAFSA has been updated with new changes and IS NOW OPEN FOR YOU TO COMPLETE! 🙂. https://studentaid.gov/
- Senior Financial Aid Requirement: For those who have submitted your FAFSA, please take a screenshot of the home screen when you log in that shows your FAFSA is under review, then upload that screenshot into your Student Link. Due to some of the delays in FAFSA processing, it’s ok if the screenshot doesn’t say “processed”. For the confirmation number, just enter “I don’t know”. For those submitting TASFA, screenshot proof that it was submitted and no confirmation number needed. For those not submitting FAFSA/TASFA (or at least not at this time - the opt out form does not prevent you from applying for financial aid later!), simply log into your Student Link and click the opt out form then follow the instructions. Goad Deadline to Submit Fin Aid Grad Requirement: February 15th.
