Principal's Message

Mustang Families,

March is off to an exciting start with a packed week of events celebrating our students' talents and achievements! Our Children’s Theater performances will be taking place throughout the week, bringing the magic of live theater to young audiences. Juniors will also be completing their academic planning during 11th-grade registration in their U.S. History classes—an important step in preparing for their senior year and beyond.

On Tuesday, we have a Student Senate meeting during Flex, where student leaders will collaborate on upcoming initiatives. That afternoon, be sure to catch our Mustangs in action with Beach Volleyball taking on El Dorado at 3 p.m. and Boys Lacrosse facing Vista Murrieta at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday features the SVUSD Orchestra Festival, along with a full lineup of athletic competitions, including Softball, Boys Volleyball, and Boys Lacrosse. And don’t miss our Drama 2 students as they bring Nick Tickle to the stage on Friday night at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

This is just a glimpse of what’s happening—scroll through the newsletter for more highlights, including incredible student achievements. A huge congratulations to our state wrestling placers, Danny Frailey and Kylee Golz! Their hard work and dedication have paid off, and we are so proud of them. Let’s continue to support our Mustangs in all they do. Have a fantastic week!

Ms. Alicia Foulk

THHS Course Registration 

THHS is now using the Academic Plan feature in Aeries to help students and families map out their four-year high school journey with greater collaboration and transparency.

Families can create an Academic Plan aligned with their student’s post-graduation goals, which will be reviewed individually with counselors before finalizing course registration for the 2025-2026 school year. This plan will be revisited annually to keep families informed and engaged.

Missed the Academic Planning Meeting?

If you couldn’t attend last week’s Academic Planning Meeting, we’ve got you covered! The full presentation has been uploaded to YouTube, so you can catch up on all the important details about our new four-year process.
