Principal's Message

Dear Mustang Families,

This week, we celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a time to reaffirm our commitment to being drug-free. We encourage all THHS students to participate in our Red Ribbon Spirit Week by dressing up each day to show your support! Let’s make this week memorable as we wrap up with Western Wear on Friday and show our spirit at the home game against Cypress at 7 PM.

Let’s all get Connected in The MUSTANG WAY!

A huge congratulations to our Seaview League Champion Boys Water Polo Team! We are so proud of your accomplishments and can't wait to see what you achieve in CIF.

Also, let's rally behind our Girls Flag Football team as they play their first CIF playoff game this Tuesday against University High.

As always, we have wonderful visual and performing arts events happening on campus. Last week’s Fall Concert was a huge success, and this Thursday, get ready to laugh with Comedy Sportz!

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead!

Ms. Alicia Foulk

Principal

Hello Mustang Families, 

All SVUSD students who ride bikes, e-bikes, scooters, or skateboards are now required to apply for a permit. 

Once your student has completed the bike safety course and assessment, please have them bring their signed permission slip to the front office before or after school to receive their bicycle permit sticker. 

If you are unable to print the permission slip, please have your student pick one up in the front office to bring home to be signed. There is no fee to obtain the bike permit. The purpose is to ensure students are aware of the safety guidelines when riding and stay safe. All students who ride a bike, e-bike, or scooter to school must complete this process. 

Thank you for your attention to these important safety measures.

AP college board logo

Online Exam registration will begin on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 8:00am and end on Friday, March 7, 2025 at 11:59pm.

The AP exam registration process has two steps, but both can be completed in one sitting when the student and parent do this together.  Even if you do not plan to take the AP exam, you need to complete both steps to access the College Board’s AP resources.

Both steps must be completed in order to have an AP exam ordered.

Step 1:

Begin the process by registering with Total Registration.  Indicate the AP courses you are taking this year and the exams you wish to take.  You will receive your join codes and directions to complete the second required step.  Any exam fees will be paid online so be sure to have a debit or credit card available before beginning registration.  Paying online is a great way to make sure that payment has been made while avoiding mailing payment.

Step 2:

Use the join codes provided at the completion of step one to enroll the student’s AP courses and exams in the College Board’s system.

Please note: both of the above steps must be completed in order to have an exam(s) ordered.

This year each AP exam costs $110.00.  Trabuco Hills High School desires that every student be able to take their AP exams.  Students requiring financial assistance should contact Kimberly Lindsay, kimberly.lindsay@svusd.org in the Guidance office to learn more.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN OUR FALL COLLEGE ATHLETIC COMMITMENT CELEBRATION.

Fall College Athletic Commitment Celebration Form

IF I AM GOING TO WALK-ON, DO I SIGN AN NLI?

No. An institution is strictly prohibited from allowing you to sign an NLI if you are a non-scholarship walk-on. In order for an NLI to be considered valid, it must be accompanied by an athletics financial aid award letter, which lists the terms and conditions of the award, including the amount of the financial aid. The athletics financial aid offer must be signed by both the prospective student-athlete and his or her parent or legal guardian. Simply put, there must be an athletics scholarship for an NLI to be valid.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

College sweatshirt and appropriate school attire.

NLI MEMBERSHIP

651 NCAA Division I and II institutions are NLI members. Not NLI members: Ivy League, Service Academies, Division III institutions, NAIA institutions, preparatory schools and two-year colleges. All members of the NLI program are required to offer athletics scholarships.
