Principal's Message

Hello Mark Twain TAG Families!


I hope that you all are enjoying your summer! Last year was an awesome school year. We made tremendous gains as a campus. We are now looking forward to opening our doors on Monday, August 14th to kick off the 23-24 school year. Please take a moment to scroll through our parent & family newsletter. There are several updates to our uniform requirements, school supply lists and school hours. I’m looking forward to another great school year. 😊


In partnership,


Ms. Green-Principal
