Thomas Worthington High School is proud to celebrate our Cardinals of the Month—students and staff who make a positive impact on our school community! These honorees are recognized for their excellence in building Relationships, exemplifying Citizenship, and demonstrating Scholarship, while reflecting the district’s Portrait of a Learner.

This recognition is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the individuals who go above and beyond, support those around them, and help make Thomas Worthington a place where everyone can thrive. We are grateful for the many ways our students and staff contribute to our school’s success and embody the values of our Cardinal community.

Congratulations to all of our Cardinals of the Month! Thank you for making a difference and inspiring excellence every day.

We appreciate your support of our security measures.

Looking for a way to connect, have fun, discover your passions, or make a difference at TWHS? There’s a place for everyone! Explore the clubs and activities below and find something that sparks your interest. You never know where a new experience—or a new friendship—might lead!

Have a student athlete? Please read the athletic eligibility guidelines for BOTH OHSAA and Worthington Schools listed below. These apply for all Athletics and Marching Band along with the performance and competition activities noted on our list of Clubs and Activities.

• Students must be working towards earning 2.5 credits in the preceding grading period in order to be eligible for participation.

• At the conclusion of the quarter and semester, students must be passing 2.5 credits with a 60% or higher.
• PE courses (Strength Training, Yoga, Wellness for Life, and Flex and Tone) do not count towards athletic eligibility.

• College Credit Plus, online courses, and DACC enrollment are all great opportunities but they come with responsibility. Make sure your student still meets the minimum credit requirement.

• If you are enrolled in an online Treca course, you must demonstrate that you are 50% completed with the course, and passing by the end of the 1st or 3rd quarters. You must then complete the course by the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters, which is the end of the fall and spring semester.

Please see your School Counselor, Principals, or Athletic Directors with questions.
