Parent & Guardian Education
At THS, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey—not just for students, but for parents as well. Our Parent and Guardian Education Evenings provide a space for families to deepen their understanding of child development, educational best practices, and the evolving landscape of parenting in today’s world. These events are designed to foster community, spark meaningful dialogue, and empower parents with insights and strategies to support their children’s learning and well-being. Whether you're navigating early childhood milestones or preparing for the transition to high school, our Parent and Guardian Education Evenings offer valuable resources for every stage of the journey. Join us as we learn together, strengthen connections, and grow as a community.
