Tumwater High School Provides a true high school experience. Between clubs, organizations, academics, and sports, Tumwater High School builds students who are prepared for College and/or for life. From personal experience, Senior year at Tumwater High School was the most memorable. The way that Tumwater honors seniors and provides them a top notch experience is great. In addition, the requirements for Seniors prior to graduation is planned to set Seniors up for success. Community service, resume building, and other programs designed for this made me, as a senior, feel prepared.
My freshman year was the year of online learning, and while, of course, it was difficult, I still felt very supported by my teachers, particularly my ELA teacher who would always help me through difficult assignments and supported me through a bad period of mental health. That same support has stayed throughout my high school career, and even as students can be rough and rude, I have always had at least one, but normally all six, teachers that I can rely on. Notably, the theater department is the safest place for me in my life. My director is a close friend of mine, my fellow cast members are my family. And the chamber choir I'm in, consisting of fifteen other students, is one of the most welcoming and happiest groups I have ever had the fortune to be a part of. However, the student body as a whole is honestly kind of vile towards minorities, but what else do you expect in a public school?
I went to tumwater all four years I recently graduated this year. As a black students I would say tumwater highschool is a good school it has grown a lot since my freshman year. The staff at Tumwater highschool are great very supports and engaging with the students, through out my 4 years the staff and teachers really became on interacting and listening to the students they made sure that people felt heard and they made different types of clubs and groups for those who shared or believe in different things, they even made a group that came together for the minority over the years tumwater highschool became more diverse in staff and in students. Tumwater highschool is very big on there sports they take it really serious special the football team. I played track and basketball throughout my four years being the first to win state in track become a huge victory at Tumwater.Every Friday morning staff and even teachers would make pancakes for everyone before students would get to school.
