Principal’s Report

  • The first eligibility check of the second semester will take place on Wednesday. Students with a failing grade, in any class, will be ineligible to compete in extra-curricular activities until February 11. Juniors (those who have completed volunteer hours) and seniors with a grade below 80% will be required to attend their study hall for three weeks. 

  • Congratulations to our students who attended the UND Math Meet last week. Jacob West earned a 3rd place finish while Alexa Gauderman, Rylynn Kostelecky, Calvin Kolling, Hayden Tozer, and Ayden Sapp were named Honorable Mention. 

  • The pre-registration process for the 26–27 school year will be introduced at the Grades 8–11 student assembly on Tuesday morning. During the advisory meetings on Friday, students will review the registration booklet and work on the course interest survey. Parents are encouraged to review this information with their son/daughter to become familiar with course options and their student’s interests. Forms will need to be signed by a parent and returned to advisors by Friday, January 30. 

  • Congratulations to THS senior Addison Sage on becoming the all-time leading scorer in Tommie girls basketball program history!
