My daughter is going to be a senior, but the curriculum at THS is not a very good challenge for her. She finds herself bored. I will compliment that upcoming band players in the school district. It has improved. Also, I believe that the community is not supportive enough of improving the overall education for the students. North Elementary School is the only bright spot. Close Quote
