SENIOR INCENTIVE
Attention Seniors and Senior Families
In an effort to incentivize what employers, admission representatives, and our community members alike say are some of the most important aspects of being successful:
Showing up every day, arriving on time, and performing the assigned work well...
THS students may be exempt from certain exams in December if they meet all 4 of the following thresholds during Quarter 2:
(1) B or better in the course.
(2) No more than 3 total unexcused tardies/early releases.
(sum of tardies/early releases to/from school and all classes)
(3) 0 unexcused absences - meaning all absences must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or doctor's note. Only 10 parent/guardian notes are available for use per school year.
(4) No discipline referrals!
SCHOOL COUNSELING OFFICE
Seniors
Seniors - local scholarship opportunities will be available starting Monday, November 2nd!
You can pick up THS local scholarship application packets directly from the THS School Counseling office. The Greater Oxford Community Foundation application process is fully digital this year - head over to oxfordfdn.org to apply online. Have questions or need guidance? Stop by the counseling office to see Mrs. Acra or Mrs. Sens for more information. Don't miss out on these great local scholarship opportunities!
Scholarships
The guidance office will periodically update the scholarship spreadsheet on the high school website. We encourage seniors to check the spreadsheet and apply to scholarships as they become available. Scholarship List
WINTER EOC TESTING

Class Testing: 12/15-12/18
