Principal's Message
Mustang Families,
Please take some time today to review all the information on the newsletter site. Today is Monday, March 20h, 2023.
Our Aeries portal is currently open for grades 9-11 to enter and adjust their course selections for 2023-2024. We invite families to review the information on the Guidance page, our course handbook and list, and ensure your student is registered for the appropriate classes for next year. The Guidance team will be meeting with students following Spring Break to confirm course selections. This information is critical because it helps THHS determine staffing and needs for next year.
Our Juniors will be participating in CAASPP and CAST testing this week in their English, math, and science classes. We encourage all students to do their best, and help THHS continue the tradition of being the top performing high school in the district. The current participation requirements make it even more important for our students to work hard so that we hit our 95% participation rate. Should you have questions about the testing, please reach out to Mr. Magnera.
Due to testing this week, we will be on a modified schedule.
We invite you to scroll through this page for highlights, student recognitions, and more!
Ms. Alicia Foulk
Principal

The Trabuco Hills Science Department would like to honor the following students of the month for their outstanding work in Chemistry. Congratulations!
First of all Bailey is kind to everyone around and that spirit has been infectious in my classroom. Secondly, Bailey is not a quitter. When chemistry got hard for Bailey she came in got help and studied harder. Now Bailey is killing chemistry, way to go!!!
Caden has been absolutely killing it in chemistry this semester. He has taken advantage of self paced units to go above and beyond the class expectations. In addition to mastering chemistry he also helps out classmates that have yet to master the material. Caden's enthusiasm is contagious and his positive attitude permeates through Mrs. Hamamura's class.
