Students

Your energy saving tip for the weekend is to check your ceiling fans. If you changed the direction of your ceiling fans to go clockwise this winter, it’s time to switch them back. When your fans rotate counter-clockwise, it creates a downward flow of air so you feel cooler. Simply flip the switch (usually located at the base of your ceiling fan) to help lower your energy bill.

THS will be hosting the IHSA State Organizational Music Contest today. Due to this event, students will not be able to utilize the cafeteria and east gym after school today.
