Tecumseh High School

Homecoming is next Friday, which means next week is Spirit Week! Students are encouraged to celebrate their school pride by participating in this tradition. Each day will see a different theme for students.

October 5th is World Teachers' Day. Today, we celebrate our teachers and everything they do for our students here at TPS. Considering that teachers mold future generations, taking one day every year to say "thank you" is the least we can do. No matter where you are, remember that teachers matter! The global event was launched by the United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization back in 1994.

This morning, Drawing class students from Tecumseh High School got out and enjoyed some of the nice weather. The artists took to the Sculpture Garden, working on 'Plein Air' projects. The artists draw 'en plein air' (in the open air), meaning outdoors, on the spot. Painting/drawing in the open air is recorded as far back as the Renaissance, but was generally done in preparation for studio painting. Today, 'en plein air' painting is what much of the public pictures when they imagine an artist at work, and is favored by many semi-professional and amateur artists.

DON'T FORGET Friday, September 3rd - No School (Labor Day Weekend) Monday, September 6th - No School (Labor Day) Tuesday, September 7th - School Resumes

Thank you to all of our speakers from TPS and thank you to all of those who supported our Food Drive during today’s live broadcast with WLEN 103.9fm. Don’t forget, you can drop off your donations at any TPS building. Parents, you can send the food with your student or you’re more than welcome to drop it off yourself. Your fresh fruit and snacks will go a long way in helping a child in need. Thank you to Community Learning Connections of the Tecumseh Area and all of our supporters in the community.

The Blood Drive at Tecumseh High School is just getting underway. The American Red Cross is celebrating the fact that March is Red Cross Month by renewing calls for needed blood, platelet and plasma donations. A year ago, many things in the world paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the need for blood never stopped. Today, students and staff are doing their part to help out. Blood donations are essential and the American Red Cross is urging individuals who are healthy to make an appointment to donate blood. For more information: https://www.redcross.org/
