I’m proud to serve as the Principal of Tenino High School. Over the past four years, our students and staff have shown remarkable growth. A perfect example of this progress was the first pep assembly of the year. The energy was electric—each grade brought their enthusiasm and competed passionately for the spirit stick by singing the fight song. Four years ago, we didn’t see this level of spirit and engagement.
Tenino High School is truly a special place, made exceptional by the students and staff who bring it to life every day.
