Tomball ISD and Tomball Star Academy value your feedback. On Monday, November 2, you will receive an email from TISD Communications with a brief survey to tell us about your experience of Tomball Sar Academy. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for their best futures, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.

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.

Please help us spread the word by encouraging family members and friends who may be interested in TSA to apply through the Home Access Center (HAC).

Our TSA students and families are some of our best ambassadors! You know firsthand the incredible opportunities available through our Early College and P-TECH programs, and sharing your experiences can help other students discover what makes TSA special. Thank you for helping us welcome the next cohort of Owls!
