Principal's Message

Dear Towson High School Community,

As we close out the school year, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the 5-star achievements of our Towson Generals. This year has been a testament to the hard work, heartwork, and dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. From academic successes and athletic triumphs to vibrant arts and community service, every corner of our school has thrived with positive energy and excellence. It has been an absolute privilege to lead Towson High School this year, and I extend a heartful thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this a 5-star year. I look forward to continuing to lead with you and working towards actualizing the vision of a thriving learning community. I hope you all have a wonderful, well-deserved summer break! Please access the photo below for important dates this summer!

In partnership,

Dr. Kim Culbertson
