It is with great pride that I welcome you to Thompson High/Middle School!

Thompson High/Middle School is a vibrant grades 6–12 learning community serving more than 375 students and staffed by 28 highly qualified educators dedicated to student success. Connected to Thompson Elementary School, our district serves approximately 700 students from kindergarten through grade 12. Located just seven miles south of Grand Forks, Thompson is a close-knit community of approximately 1,100 residents that offers the advantages of small-town living with convenient access to the opportunities of a larger city.

At THS/MS, our mission is to develop lifelong learners who possess the academic knowledge, social skills, and workplace competencies necessary to thrive in an ever-changing and increasingly global society. We strive to prepare students not only for graduation, but for success in college, careers, and life beyond high school. Our academic offerings provide students with a strong foundation in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies while also allowing them to explore a variety of elective areas, including business, family and consumer sciences, health careers, foreign language, and technology and engineering education. THS is also proud to be a member of the Grand Forks Area Career Impact Academy, which provides students with access to career-focused programs such as Precision Agriculture, Automotive Technology, Building Trades, Construction Essentials, Aviation, Sports Medicine, EMS, Robotics, Culinary Arts, Programming Essentials, and Civil Engineering/Architecture. Additionally, qualified students have the opportunity to enroll in dual credit courses, including Advanced Composition, College Algebra, Psychology, Sociology, Speech, and Introduction to Education/Special Education, allowing them to earn valuable college credits while still in high school. We are proud of the opportunities available to our students and remain committed to continually improving and expanding our programs to meet the needs of today's learners.

Beyond the classroom, Thompson students are encouraged to become involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities. Athletic opportunities include football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, wrestling, swimming and diving, track and field, baseball, softball, hockey, trap shooting, and golf. Students interested in the fine arts may participate in band, choir, drama, jazz band, pep band, drumline, summer theatre, and speech. THS/MS also offers numerous student organizations and leadership opportunities, including FCCLA, FBLA, SADD, TSA, MathCounts, Academic Challenge, National Honor Society, Student Council, and Yearbook.

I am currently in my 32nd year in education and my 23rd year serving as a high school principal. My wife, Collette, and I are proud parents of four children: Calen (26), Cadyn (24), Sydney (20), and Jena (18).
