Principal's Message

Mustang Families,

There are so many wonderful things happening on campus, and I wanted to take a moment to share some important events and highlights.

First, I’d like to remind all incoming 9th grade parents that we have our Parent Meeting for Future 9th Grade Students this Wednesday, March 12, at 6:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for families to learn about the high school experience, meet key staff members, and ask questions as we prepare for the upcoming year. We look forward to seeing all of our incoming families there!

Additionally, we are thrilled to welcome our incoming ninth-grade students to campus on Thursday morning! They'll have the chance to explore the exciting programs at THHS and discover the many opportunities awaiting them as Mustangs.

This week is packed with exciting events, including our 2025 Beckman High School Band & Orchestra Festival on Wednesday, March 12, and an action-packed lineup of athletic competitions. Highlights include Beach Volleyball vs Laguna Hills (Tuesday, 2:30 p.m.), Boys Tennis vs Aliso Niguel (Tuesday, 3:00 p.m.), and Boys Lacrosse vs Beckman (Tuesday, 4:45 p.m.). You can also look forward to several other matches, including Baseball, Boys Golf, Boys Volleyball, and Girls Lacrosse—there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

Additionally, on Wednesday, March 12, we will be hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive, and we encourage all eligible students and staff to consider donating and helping make a difference in the community.

As always, our newsletter is filled with exciting sports highlights and student achievements. It’s a joy to celebrate our students’ hard work, both in the classroom and on the field, and I encourage you to read through the updates.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community. We are proud of all the amazing things happening at THHS, and we look forward to seeing you at some of these fantastic events this week!

Ms. Alicia Foulk

THHS is proud to recognize Lhorenzo Moran as the recipient of the SVUSD ACSA "Every Student Succeeding" Award.

A heartfelt thank you to all who have supported Lhorenzo throughout his time at THHS. Special recognition goes to Shanti Lunsford, his counselor, who has worked closely with Lhorenzo and his family to ensure he had the necessary support during his journey. Lhorenzo’s achievement was celebrated at the board meeting, where he received a standing ovation (see photo attached).

Each recipient received a certificate, medal, and Chromebook.

SVUSD selected Lhorenzo from a pool of several nominations, highlighting his remarkable perseverance and dedication, which truly embody the spirit of this award. His journey of overcoming challenges related to illness and achieving success stands as a powerful testament to his strength and the unwavering support from educators and the THHS team.
