Attention, Class of 2028 students and parents!

The TWHS School Counselors invite you to Junior Night: What You Need to Know to Prepare for College on Thursday, November 19, from 7:00–8:30 PM in the TWHS Auditorium.

This presentation will help families navigate the college planning process and prepare for the exciting journey ahead! Topics will include:

• College planning timelines
• ACT/SAT testing
• What to look for when choosing a college
• College admissions requirements
• And much more!

Start your college quest with confidence! We look forward to helping you and your family take the next steps toward life after high school.

We hope to see you there!

TWHS students Addy Foust, Amelia Hudson, Mier Pine, and Alex Croft had the honor of representing TWHS at the OCC Honor Choir event at Capital University. At this annual event, students from each OCC school come together for a day of learning, rehearsing, and performing pieces together, with the opportunity to work with the Capital University music faculty.

When you’re hungry for hilarity but short on time and tight on budget, where do you turn? Why, the one-act play Fast Food, of course! From crazy customers to screwy staff, this vignette-style collection of scenes will satisfy your craving for fast food fun while offering a simple set and an entirely flexible and expandable cast. A farcical, uproarious play certain to deliver food for thought.

Have a student athlete? Please read the athletic eligibility guidelines for BOTH OHSAA and Worthington Schools listed below. These apply for all Athletics and Marching Band along with the performance and competition activities noted on our list of Clubs and Activities.

• Students must be working towards earning 2.5 credits in the preceding grading period in order to be eligible for participation.

• At the conclusion of the quarter and semester, students must be passing 2.5 credits with a 60% or higher.
• PE courses (Strength Training, Yoga, Wellness for Life, and Flex and Tone) do not count towards athletic eligibility.

• College Credit Plus, online courses, and DACC enrollment are all great opportunities but they come with responsibility. Make sure your student still meets the minimum credit requirement.

• If you are enrolled in an online Treca course, you must demonstrate that you are 50% completed with the course, and passing by the end of the 1st or 3rd quarters. You must then complete the course by the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters, which is the end of the fall and spring semester.

Please see your School Counselor, Principals, or Athletic Directors with questions.
