First thoughts from Sophomores

Hawk Families: Save the Date(s)! Here are the breaks for this school year.

First Thoughts from Freshmen

Don't forget! Parent/Teacher Open House is on Thursday! We can't wait to see ALL of our families here on campus!!

Hey Hawk Fans: all-season athletic passes are now available! Due to popular demand, we will have two options this year: TVHS Student Pass for $40. This pass will grant admission into all non-postseason home games for the entire year. This pass is only available through your student's MySchoolBucks account. Once students purchase their pass, they will get a decal that goes on their student ID, allowing them to enter all home games. Everyone Else Pass for $75. This pass will grant admission into all non-postseason home games for everyone who is not a current TVHS student! This will be a virtual pass that you will buy on GoFan.com Both passes come with a Hawks Nest Spirit Shirt, compliments of our proud sponsor, Tanque Verde Law!

🤝 Big/Little Week is Coming! 💚

One of our favorite TVHS traditions is almost here! During Big/Little Week (August 24–28), our freshmen and sophomores are paired with juniors and seniors for a week of school spirit, fun, and building new friendships.

SAVE THE DATE for our annual Tanque Verde High School Parent/Guardian Open House – August 6

📅 Thursday, August 6
🕔 5:15–7:10 p.m. (7:15–7:25 p.m. for students with 0 Hour)

Your Administrative Team will host a brief parent meeting in the gym at 5:15 p.m., followed by classroom visits where you'll meet your student's teachers, learn about course expectations, and gain valuable information for the year ahead.
