Wings Up Weekly
INTEGRITY, DEDICATION, WISDOM
At TSA we prioritize Integrity, Dedication, and Wisdom as our Core Characteristics of Success.
Integrity
Tomball Star Academy students and staff are called to live up to and into a spirit of integrity at every turn. High quality instruction, robust support of social-emotional needs, and rich collaborative culture are the standards to which we hold ourselves accountable as a community.
Dedication
Tomball Star Academy students and staff are dedicated to the challenge of teaching, leading, and learning in the Early College High School model. We dedicate today to the work that makes tomorrow possible. Daily we commit to: “Keep digging in. Keep doing the hard things. And keep your ‘Wings Up’!”
Wisdom
Tomball Star Academy students and staff value the growth and development that lead to wisdom. We celebrate individuality and innovation as pathways to wisdom, and value progress over perfection. Wisdom is the result of our experiences.

Recruiting the Next Cohort of Owls!
Our Class of 2031 recruiting season is officially underway! This week, we connected with students at Willow Wood Junior High on Tuesday and Tomball Junior High on Thursday, while also meeting with families during parent information sessions at Tomball Junior High and Creekside Park. We love sharing the incredible opportunities available at TSA and helping families learn more about our Early College and P-TECH pathways.
Next week, we look forward to visiting Grand Lakes and Creekside Park and meeting with families at Willow Wood Junior High on Monday evening at 6:00 p.m. If you have friends or family members interested in TSA, please encourage them to attend the parent information session to learn more about our programs and the opportunities available to future Owls! 💜💛
