I am a graduate of THS and can't say enough. I didn't truly appreciate my education until I went to college and saw how well prepared I was compared to others. The enrichment opportunities I had available to me from both Tecumseh Public Schools and within the community gave me a well rounded experience. Teachers care and you aren't just a number.

I think that Tecumseh High School cares mre about the schools appearance than the students that go to the school. The sports and other activities have more mooney than the classrooms, we can't even afford papaer you have to provide it for yourself. They turned off the heat so it is 60 or less than 60 degrees in the school everyday to save money. Close Quote
