Principal's Message
Mustang Families,
We’re off to a strong and exciting start here at Trabuco Hills. There’s already so much to be proud of—our varsity football team pulled off a thrilling win last Friday, our girls flag football team continues their impressive shutout streak, our boys water polo team, who earned a solid win last Tuesday, and our choir opened the season with a beautiful performance of the National Anthem.
This week, we’re looking forward to welcoming you to Back to School Night on Thursday at 5:00 PM. It’s a valuable opportunity to connect with teachers and learn more about the year ahead. We’ll also host our Freshman Parent Meeting at the same time—in the MPR (English) and Library (Spanish).
And a reminder for students: Tuesday, September 3rd is the last day to add a new course. Please reach out to your counselor if you have questions.
Thank you for your continued support—let’s keep up the great work!
Alicia Foulk
Principal

THHS Back to School Night
Welcome back to another great school year here at Trabuco Hills High School! We are excited to be celebrating Trabuco's 40th Anniversary with the community this year!
Our annual Back-to-School Night is Thursday, September 4, 2025 from 6 PM until 8 PM. Before parents visit classrooms, the Guidance Office will be hosting a 9th Grade Parent Night at 5 PM in the Multipurpose Room. There will also be an ELAC Meeting at 5 PM in the library.
Parents are urged to arrive on campus early, prior to the classroom visitation times to secure parking and get acclimated to the campus. I have attached a letter with the class schedule for the night. Please have your student complete the class list for you on the letter so that you can easily locate the classrooms. ASB Students will be in the Quad area at THHS as well as the hallways beginning at 5:45 PM to direct you to the correct classrooms. Classroom visitations and teacher presentations will begin with zero period at 6:10 PM and each period will last a duration of 10 minutes. There is a six-minute passing period between each class to allow you the time needed to navigate the campus. Classroom visitations will end at 8 PM.
If your student is enrolled in zero or sixth period athletics, please report to the room specified by the program coach. Coaches will let their athletes know where they will be meeting for their athletics period.
Burger Boss will be on campus with a catering truck selling entrees and drinks beginning at 5 PM. If you are looking for a dinner option prior to classroom visitations, come early, get a good parking space and enjoy a delicious meal from Burger Boss while supporting the THHS ASB.
Back to School Night Schedule
5:00 - 5:45 PM Guidance Presentation for 9th grade families – MPR
5:00 - 5:45 PM ELAC Presentation - Library
6:10 - 8:00 PM Classroom Visits – Based on your student’s schedule
For your student’s schedule, please print this flier and have your student fill in their classes and room numbers, or print their schedule from the Parent Portal. Look for our ASB students for campus maps and directions.
