IBET and Senior Research Lab students shared research findings with classmates, parents, mentors and teachers. Our young scientists showed knowledge, enthusiasm, confidence and poise throughout the day. We are so proud of how our students have grown throughout the year! Our teachers have been amazing mentors. |

The TJ gymnasium was filled with special guest presenters from the community. Here, the Smithsonian-George Mason University School of Conservation engages students with "save the species," challenging eco-friendly minds to use resources wisely and counter negative forces. |

Dr. Sridevi Sarma, an accomplished electrical engineer and associate professor at John Hopkins University, served as the keynote speaker. She spoke first about her personal journey of successes, failures, and persistence. Next, she captivated students with modeling and estimation of neural systems in the brain relative to risk-taking decisions. Fun fact: Dr. Sarma is the first female keynote speaker in the history of tjSTAR. |

Did you see the goats frolicking? This tribe of herbivores visited TJ and showed off their chomping skills when it comes to eradicating invasive plant species. Who knew what a vital role amino acids play in the plant environment and how goats are natural protectors of native flora? |

tjSTAR would not have been possible without many minds, hands and hearts. Thanks to our student committee seen here finding a light on the stage. We'd also like to recognize lead teachers Ms. Sandstrom, Mr. Otani and Dr. Wu for their planning, as well as the support of the TJ Partnership Fund and all the speakers and sponsors! Tech support gets a shout out, too! |
Thanks to all our students for being great stewards of TJ resources. We are so fortunate to have updated textbooks and equipment that maximize learning opportunities.
We also recognize accidents happen, items get lost or student forget to return things. Therefore, as
we approach the end of the school year, we want to bring student financial obligations to
your attention.
Obligation lists are posted outside the Finance
Offices and in Franklin Commons. Parents, please have your students check
both lists, which have obligations identified by Student ID#, to
make sure that there are no outstanding obligations. Below is a description of
fees and how they can be paid:
Materials
Obligations: These include fees for lost books, uniforms, etc., from
previous school years.
Ø Please submit your
payment to the TJ Finance Office in the form of a check made payable to TJHSST
or cash. Exact amount is needed, as the Finance Office cannot make
change.

Obligations: These include class fees and AP test fees for students
taking more than 6 AP tests.
Ø Online Payment Option:
