Quarter 2 Honor Roll Announcement
Congratulations to all students recognized here for your academic success last quarter. Nice work!
Join us at the Academic Expo
Wednesday, March 1
4 - 6 pm
TA Atrium
The 2023 - 2024 school year is months away, but now is a good time for students to start thinking about classes they'd like to take.
The Academic Expo provides an opportunity for current and prospective students and families to learn about all of TA’s classes. Each academic department will have a visual display, staffed by its teachers, that highlights the department's classes. You'll be able to speak with the teachers and ask questions.
The Academic Expo also helps students chart their academic path beyond next year. For example, a Trigonometry teacher could suggest a math class to a sophomore that would best prepare the student for that senior-level class. Academic Expo Video

Ms. Thomas selected a digital photograph by Sebastian Sheilds, grade 11 in AP Art & Design. "Sebastian is a constant creator and designer that takes pride in his inquiry and process in artmaking. I am most impressed with the concept and aesthetic of his photograph."
Mrs. Merry chose a pop-art painting created by Isabella Loignon, grade 11 in Honors Painting. "This student spends an extraordinary amount of time in the studio to create artworks that surpass the lesson being taught."
Ms. Altman selected a needle-felted sculpture created by Julia Fomichenko, grade 12. "Julia is a quiet leader in sculpture class. Her ideation, craftsmanship, and execution are consistently exceptional."
