Welcome to the Class of 2023!
(8/8/2019 / TRHS Webmaster)
The TRHS Student Council held their annual "Dog Training" Freshmen Orientation on Thursday morning. Incoming Freshmen were able to tour the school, be treated to a pizza lunch, and learn more of what it means to be a Devildog. They also received their schedules and held elections for Student Council. Freshmen Student Council members are Brooklyn Epps (President), Abigail Hickey (Vice-President), Jenae Aiken (Secretary), Elizabeth Wyatt and Drayton Ward (Representatives). Welcome to the Class of 2023!
Thursday was also the last work day of the summer schedule and it was a busy day on campus. Besides Dog Training there were band students rehearsing for the upcoming season, a Cheer Camp Showcase as they finished up a week of camp, and a football scrimmage. Teachers will have a week of inservice next week and students will have their first day of class on Tuesday, August 20th. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for photos from some of the events.
