📅 Date: January 27-30, 2027
📍 Location: Tomball Agricultural Center located at the Tomball Innovation Center

11211 FM 2920, Tomball TX 77375

This special event will feature the incredible talents and projects of our FFA students, including livestock exhibitions, agricultural mechanics, and horticulture projects.

Whether you’ve been part of this tradition for years or are planning to join us for the first time, we would love to have you there! Your support makes a difference in the lives of our students, and we look forward to celebrating another fantastic year with our Tomball community.

Whenever a student is absent, they must submit a digital absence letter via the provided QR code or bring a physical note to their assigned Assistant Principal's office upon returning to school. Families can find the direct phone extension for their designated Assistant Principal and Administrative Assistant based on the student's last name in the alpha breakdown chart. To maintain course credit, state law requires students to attend class at least 90% of the time, meaning high school students risk losing credit starting on their 10th absence of the semester unless an approved make-up plan is completed.

At Tomball Memorial, we proudly celebrate our Wildcat spirit every Friday by wearing navy, our official school color. Whether you are a student, parent, or staff member, we encourage everyone to show their pride and support all the incredible things happening on campus by repping TMHS gear or anything navy. And while the Mean Girls may have worn pink on Wednesdays, on Fridays, we wear NAVY because supporting your school is always in style.

Graduation is one of the most special moments in a student’s educational journey. It is a time to celebrate years of hard work, perseverance, growth and achievement alongside the family, friends, teachers and staff who helped make that moment possible.

As Tomball ISD prepares to hold graduation ceremonies for three comprehensive high schools by 2029, we are establishing a rotating schedule to ensure each school has the opportunity to share the first and later ceremony times. Communicating this plan in advance gives our schools and families ample time to prepare for the transition.

The May 2027 graduation ceremonies will take place Friday, May 28, at Reed Arena on the campus of Texas A&M University (TAMU). Tomball High School will graduate at 8 a.m., followed by Tomball Memorial High School at Noon. While this schedule remains unchanged for 2027, it will mark the first year of the planned rotation, with Tomball Memorial High School graduating first in May 2028, followed by Tomball High School. In their inaugural ceremony in 2029, Tomball West High School will graduate first, followed by Tomball High School then Tomball Memorial High School.
