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.

Exploring Future Healthcare Careers
Culture Day at TSA
Our TAP World Geography students took learning around the world this week during Culture Day! Students researched their own cultural heritage and shared what they learned with their classmates. This activity connected their geography studies to the social, political, and economic factors that influence where and how people live around the world. Students also had the opportunity to bring in foods representing their cultures, while Mrs. Frost added to the adventure with international delicacies such as barbecue crickets, durian, and more! It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our diverse backgrounds, learn from one another, and experience a little taste of the world right here at TSA.
