Unity Day 2025
Together, we stand against bullying and celebrate kindness, acceptance, and inclusion!

Our students each colored a lizard tessellation to show how every person’s unique contribution helps build something beautiful — when we work together, we create unity.

A few lucky “student lizards” were even randomly chosen to win prizes!
Let’s keep spreading kindness and reminding each other that we all belong.

What's the Matter?
Mrs. Trumbo's Science Class Knows!

Is it a chemical change (making something brand new!) or a physical change (just a different look!)? That's the big question for our middle school scientists! Check out these snaps of the class investigating the differences.

Happy National Coaches Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible coaches who dedicate their time to our athletes, especially our own Mr. Cody Shifflett, Mr. Dan Rolfe, Mr. Travis Myers ( TAHS Football), and Mr. Sheldon Rice (TAHS Boys Soccer).

These leaders do so much more than teach plays and drills; they are teachers who serve as mentors, role models, and leaders in the classroom. They teach the value of teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and great sportsmanship—skills that last a lifetime.

Thank you for all you do! We appreciate you!

Special Shout-Outs:

We'd also like to recognize former coaches Mr. Cam Carte (basketball) and Mr. Jamie Eberly (basketball) for their past dedication to our students and athletics programs. We appreciate Mr. Eberly continuing to support high school sports as a referee!

Science in Action!

Mrs. Trumbo's students became real scientists this with our Ramp Experiment!

Students designed and built their own ramps, then used the Scientific Method to investigate a real-world problem: How does the friction of different surfaces (like carpet, wood, or sandpaper) affect the distance a toy car travels?

They're not just reading about science; they're testing, measuring, and drawing data-backed conclusions! Great work, junior engineers!

In Mrs. Trumbo's middle school math class, we're using a "Growing Number Line" to deepen conceptual understanding. This year-long, evolving visual tool helps students connect abstract ideas like the Real Number System, perfect/imperfect squares, and infinity to a concrete framework.

It's a foundational lesson that shows students the same value can be expressed through different mathematical representations (fractions, decimals, etc.), promoting a more flexible and comprehensive understanding of number sense.

In Mrs. Trumbos' middle school class, we talked about the 3 key types of conversation posters today, and why using all three is essential for being a great communicator and listener! Students created their own posters to display in the classroom.

It's easy to focus on just talking, but true connection happens when we know how to consciously shift and incorporate all three communication styles. Mastering these types of conversation is the secret to effective exchange in the classroom and beyond!

What does it mean to be human?

Our middle schoolers explored this powerful question, and their answers are truly inspiring. From "to love" to "to be smart," their words are a beautiful reminder of what connects us all.

Breakfast for Champions!

What's better than a delicious breakfast? A delicious breakfast made with love by our incredible faculty and staff!

Yesterday, our amazing staff members whipped up a fantastic breakfast feast for the students, complete with pancakes, sausage, eggs, fresh fruit, breakfast casserole, and a variety of drinks. It was a wonderful way to start the day and show our students how much we appreciate them.

Thank you to everyone who helped prepare, serve, and clean up. The students started the day with full bellies!
