🦅💚 Hawks Landing is Taking Shape! 💚🦅
A HUGE thank you to our incredible Tanque Verde High School PTSG and generous donors for making Phase 1 of Hawks Landing possible!
This beautiful new space will provide our Hawks with a welcoming place to gather, connect, collaborate, and enjoy time together—before school, during classes, and throughout lunch.
We are so grateful for a school community that continues to invest in creating meaningful spaces and experiences for our students.
Up next: Phase 2—FURNITURE! 🪑🎉 We can't wait to see Hawks Landing come to life as we add the finishing touches!
Thank you for helping us make TVHS an even better place to learn, grow, and belong!

Freshman Families,
Homecoming is coming up! We put together a quick Homecoming 101 Parent Guide with everything you may want to know before your student attends their first high school dance.
The guide includes information about tickets and guests, what students typically wear, dinner and flowers, going with a date or friends, a few helpful etiquette conversations to have at home, and the safety procedures we use during the dance.
Our Arabian Nights Homecoming Dance is Saturday, September 26 from 7:00-10:00 PM in the TVHS MPR (Winter Formal and Prom are off site at event centers). Students must bring their student ID for entry. Non-TVHS student guest passes are at the front desk in the office.
Please take a few minutes to look through the attached guide: TVHS Homecoming 101: What you need to know! . We hope it helps make this first Homecoming a fun and memorable experience for both students and families!

💙 Chains of Hope: Choose Kindness. Spread Hope. 💙
This September, TVHS is participating in Chains of Hope, a suicide awareness activity focused on kindness, encouragement, and connection.
Students are invited to stop by the Commons, write an encouraging message, and add it to their grade-level chain. A few simple words — You matter. You belong here. Keep going. You are not alone. — may be exactly what someone needs to hear that day.
We never truly know what someone else may be carrying. Let’s make an extra effort to notice one another, include one another, speak kindly, and remind our fellow Hawks that they matter. 💙
(A very special Hawk shout-out to senior Cadence Sticht, who took the initiative to organize Chains of Hope for our campus. We are so proud of students who see an opportunity to support others and then step up to make it happen. Thank you, Cadence, for helping make TVHS a kinder, more connected, and more compassionate community!)
Your life matters all the time — not just in September.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted adult, counselor, friend, or family member. You can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
