Please extend a warm TJ Colonials welcome to Ms. Marvana Bennett who will be serving as one of our assistant principals through the end of this school year. She has been an AP at Stuart High School for several years.
Mr. Gary Grosicki, current assistant principal who oversees the 11th grade class and our Sci-Tech Division, will be on an extended sick leave absence for at least 4-5 weeks. Ms. Bennett will assume his duties during this time. We wish Mr. Grosicki well and we thank Ms. Bennett for the temporary support she is providing our school. Also, we'd like to thank Principal Penny Gros at Stuart High School who has graciously "loaned" Ms. Bennett to TJ during a busy time of year!

The Freshman Class Council is planning an all-night event for
freshmen called Lock-In. This has been a tradition at TJ for many
years. Students have the opportunity to bond as an entire class by staying
all night at TJ, playing games, being silly, and making memories. Lock-In
will take place on Friday May 11th at TJ from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM Saturday morning.
Select locations within the school will be used to run various
activities including an inflatable course, ball games, video games, escape room
etc. We have reserved the gym, the auditorium, wrestling room, and
several commons and classrooms. Students will remain within these
boundaries, and will be supervised. To help ensure that students are kept
safe in these various spaces, we need volunteers!
Please help make our Lock-In a success by volunteering!
Volunteers will work in shifts through the night. If you
have a comfortable, portable chair, please bring it. Freshmen students of volunteers
will receive a discount on his or her ticket.
Upperclassmen have said that Lock-In was the best part of
freshman year. Please help us to create a memorable experience for the class of
2021.
