'The mission of Tourtellotte Memorial High School is to prepare students to maximize their potential to become responsible.' How can OUR young adults become responsible when the Administration does not set a good example for them! We pay our taxes and this school is considered borderline. There is something wrong with this picture and I am not the only one taking it.
The school needs improvement in many areas! There is one student I have seen suffer in paticular and I am sorry to see it. No child is supposed to be left behind. They receive government funding and by all means it is not going to the kids.
I agree that the teachers do an excellent job at this school. I do wish the administration would get better. Our teachers deserve more support and do not appear to get it from the current administration.
The leadership in this school does need improvement. I think the current administration has taken us backwards, not forward as they claim.
Even though the administration at this school is terrible, the teachers do an amazing job preparing you for college considering the budget they are giving. Many of the teachers really try to get involved with their students and push them to help bring out their best qualities. As a constant participant in the music program... it is A LOT more than 'less than adequate'. We traveled to multiple festivals winning top medals, and even sweeping all of the band awards at a festival in canada, and all but one of the chorus awards.
The actual building itself is relatively nice, especially with the new addition. However, administration in this school is terrible. they are unorganized and tend to quell student involvement and individual thinking. Most teachers adhere to this policy as well. However, there are a few choice individuals who are worth the time and I would recomend having.
Very dissappointed with this schools system. Numerous issues have come up this year with no help from Principal/Asst. The band program is less than adequate.
