THS Meet the Teacher Night- (6:30-8pm) Parents, you may want to print out your student’s schedule prior to coming. If not, you can access the schedule through Skyward on your mobile device, or we will happily provide a hard copy to you upon arrival to Meet the Teacher Night.
While most of the THS faculty and staff will be here, it is important to note that many of the Alvin Community College (ACC) professors teach night school. As such, Dual Enrollment professors do not typically attend the THS open house.
