High School/Mid High Parent-Teacher Conference Change- The time for Thursday's conferences will change to a 3:30 start time and will end at 6:30 to accommodate the schedule change for the high school football game against Oklahoma Union that will be played at 7:00 on Thursday. If this creates a conflict for you, or a teacher is unavailable please reach out to your student's teacher via email and set a time to meet. All students will receive free admission to the Football Game by bringing a non-perishable food item for the food drive benefiting the Tonkawa Food Bank.

Some MH and HS TSA members attended their first TSA LEAD Conference at Guthrie Meridian Technology Center this week.

Attention seniors and senior parents:
FAFSA Night for seniors has been moved to 10/28/25 in the HS library from 5:30-6:30. This will include one on one assistance in completing the process. Hope to see you there.

With Thunder spirit far and wide! 💙🎉

TUESDAY 10/21/25

Last week, 7th grade science students learned “s’more” about physical and chemical change… by making s’mores! Students were tasked with writing a procedure for making a s’more, and Mrs. Anderson followed those instructions explicitly—with a few comedic outcomes. Shout out to the Sherron, Ochoa, Barrilleaux, Rudd, Davis, Kelle, Chamberlin, and Wilkerson families for providing supplies. THANK YOU!
