Current RS Information Night

All juniors and seniors who will be participating in Running Start during the 2019-20 school year should consider attending on Thursday, September 5 from 6:30 - 7:45 P.M. in the Performing Arts Center at Tahoma High School. For the first 45 minutes, we will provide information to help you understand the processes associated with Running Start, as well as an overview of STEP which is required to earn a Tahoma diploma. During the last half hour, an admissions counselor from UW Tacoma will talk about how to apply to four-year colleges with Running Start credits/AA degrees. Please note that this is different from the information sessions offered at the colleges; you are encouraged to attend those as well.
