Tuscola High School would like to express our sincere thanks to our community who continues to support our students through scholarships. At today's Honors Day Ceremony, we distributed a new Honors Day record of nearly $190,000 in local scholarship money.
A heartfelt thank you to all who supported the Class of 2025 today.
Our Seniors last day was today! While we know they learned a lot, we might have to bring them back next week for a refresher in Driver Education!
We do appreciate their humor and innocent fun!
Congratulations to Mrs Hoel's Creative Expressions class! Each member's work was chosen to be published this Fall in the Young Writers Unsolved-Criminally Good Sagas.
