Tenaha Independent School District

Don't forget tonight at 6pm and 7:30pm we will be in the SEC for more BASKETBALL!! Our Lady Tiger's first playoff game is tonight at 6pm against the West Sabine Lady Tigers and our Varsity Boys final game here at home will be tonight at 7:30 following that playoff game. Our concession stand will be selling fish or chicken strip baskets with fries for $8! We hope you will come out to support all of our athletes tonight!!

We ended the day with some Sonic ice cream and some fun on the playground.

Our Tigers had no fear!

We had a chance to hold Chomper, a baby alligator!

Last week, all of our Tigers who earned their Tiger Lanyard 3 Six Weeks in a row were reeling with a trip to Gator and Friends. This a huge feat to earn this trip. All students have a chance to earn another trip starting with the 4th Six Weeks.

TES loves Ms. Stacie! We cannot thank her enough for all she does for TISD. Happy National School Counselor Day! Big thanks to Ms. Gracie and Mrs. King's class for the adorable sign.

Hard to believe the 4th Six Weeks has come to an end! Congratulations to these Tigers for getting recognized . Be on the look out for our Tigers who stood out for their KINDNESS this six weeks. Remember, no school on Monday!

As the week comes to a close, just a few reminders for you as we head into the weekend: Best of luck to our Varsity Tigers as they are on the road to Beckville tonight to play the Bearkats at 6pm! Also, this evening at 6pm, Tenaha ISD will be hosting a play-in game for the 4th place in Girls District 23-AA between the Garrison Lady Bulldogs and the Shelbyville Lady Dragons. The gates will open at 5:15 for that game tonight. Monday, February 12th, is a Teacher In-Service Day and Student Holiday for Tenaha ISD; however, we will be hosting our first Girls Basketball Playoff game here in the SEC that evening as our very own Lady Tigers meet up with the Lady Tigers from West Sabine in the Bi-District Playoff Game tipping at 6pm. And now, in a schedule change, that will now be a DOUBLE-HEADER, with the Tigers now playing following that game at 7:30 in their final regular season home game vs the Joaquin Rams. Throughout the game, the Graduating Class of 2024 will be selling raffle tickets for $2 each for various prizes that they will be raffling off during half-time of the boys game. All proceeds will benefit Project Graduation 2024. The concession stand will be open serving a modified menu with catfish or chicken strip baskets with french fries for $8. Cash or card will be accepted.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes...some are undeniable and you cannot miss them, and some you rarely ever see...slipping in quietly with their superpowers so effortlessly and perfectly that it fits seamlessly into our everyday lives, you may not even notice. I am a firm believer we have heroes among us each and every day, and this week in particular, we celebrate one very special hero that truly touches each and every person here at our school and beyond. She probably doesn't fit the typical "super-hero" look...although she'd make a cape look fantastic in any color! You won't find her tossing bad guys out of the way or saving people from a burning building...although again, I feel certain if she needed to, she would without hesitation. But, what you will find her doing, is constantly going out of her way to make sure everyone's day is just a little bit brighter because of her smile and positive attitude. She is a listening ear for anyone who needs it throughout the day, a shoulder to cry on or a voice of reason. She is a firm foundation for our students, guiding and preparing them for what lies ahead once they leave the doors of Tenaha High School, and works tirelessly to ensure that they all leave on the best path possible specifically for them. She spends countless hours all year long preparing our district for state required testing; educating and training not only our students so that they feel confident and ready, but also working with our staff so that they are adequately prepared to implement strategies all year long to aide in helping get our students where they need to be as well. She works alongside our administrators throughout the year and summer to create the student schedules and continuously tries to improve the daily environment for both students and teachers throughout the school year. DId I also mention she is our PROM coordinator also?!? As you can see...this list is almost never-ending. The amount of hats this superhero wears is a superpower in and of itself! But, she never loses her cool, never loses her sweet smile and friendly voice...and we are all better humans because we have Mrs. Stacie in our lives!!! Happy National Counseling Week, Mrs. Stacie!! But, you should be celebrated all year long for everything you do...not just this week! We couldn't do it without you!

TIGERNATION! In case you aren't able to attend tonight's games in person, we have a couple of different options for you in order to still catch the action! If you have your current NFHS subscription, you will be able to catch all of tonight's festivities happening in the SEC on the NFHS Network. However, if you do not have a subscription or you would like to check out our newest venture, go to: https://fan.hudl.com/usa/tx/tenaha/organization/13994/tenaha-high-school to check out the Tigers and Lady Tigers on Hudl TV presented by Tiger Media. This is the first game we have streamed from Hudl TV, so we ask for your patience in the event there are glitches, etc. We will eventually be moving all streaming to this platform, but are just in the beginning phases of setting this up as of right now. When you go to the Hudl TV/Tenaha High School site, you will select the sport you wish to watch (Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, etc.) and it will take you to a landing page for that sport. It will have previous highlights if they are available as well as the broadcasted game(s) for the evening. We hope you enjoy this new feature!

It's FRIDAY & GAMEDAY!! Our Soccer teams will travel to Center this afternoon to play the Roughriders; girls will begin at 5pm and the boys will follow at 6:45pm. At the SEC, we will host the Garrison Bulldogs! The Tiger Cafe will open at 5:30 serving your choice of cajun fried catfish, boiled shrimp or chicken strips - baked potato or fries - cole slaw and tea for just $10! They will close at 8pm. The Lady Tigers will tip at 6pm with a half-time performance by the participants of last weekend's Cheerleader Mini Camp. After the conclusion of the girl's game, we will honor Shanna McCollister Dagley in a brief ceremony and retire jersey #14. The Tigers will tip at 7:30 vs the Garrison Bulldogs and at half-time of the boy's game, we will recognize our Lady Tiger Senior Class of 2024! Also, the Senior Class will be set up right outside the entrance to the SEC with a Bake Sale benefiting Project Graduation 2024. It's going to be a great night; we will see you soon!

Happy first Friday of February! We are happy to see our Tigers showing kindness to others this week.

Good Morning TigerNation! Thank you for your patience yesterday as we were "off the grid" for a bit, however, we are up and running as normal today! In addition, the Elementary doors have been repaired and you can now begin checking those students out and entering the Elementary main doors again as usual. Thank you for being flexible as we addressed this security issue and made the necessary repairs to properly resolve the problem. We have several things to remind you of for the remainder of the week: -This afternoon, our JH Basketball teams will travel to Joaquin to play the Rams beginning at 5:30pm. -Also, this evening, please remember that Mrs. Barr will be hosting FASFA Night for our graduating seniors and their families. It will be at 6pm this evening in the cafetorium. All seniors and parents/guardians are encouraged to attend. Completing the FAFSA is a graduation requirement. Helpful tips to prepare for this evening's meeting: 1. Parents and students each need to create an FSA ID. Doing so before FAFSA Night will help in the process. 2. You will need your tax information from 2022. - Tomorrow, the Lady Tigers will play their final regular season game here at home in the SEC; this will be Lady Tiger Senior Night for our Class of 2024. IMPORTANT: We have made some adjustments to the schedule posted last week for the night's events. The girls game will tip at 6pm as normal; at half-time, our Mini Camp Cheerleaders will be performing. At the conclusion of the girl's game, we will retire Jersey #14 of Shanna McCollister Dagley with a brief ceremony on the court. The boys game vs Garrison will tip at 7:30 with the Lady Tiger Senior recognition taking place during half-time of the BOYS game. Tiger Cafe will be open; so, please make plans to come out and support these student athletes! -Finally, yearbooks for the 2023-2024 school year are on sale now for pre-order. If you buy your book before February 28th, the price is $35. It will go up each month thereafter. Remember, very few extras will be available when they arrive. Order in person or online: https://www.balfour.com/student-info?smi=74157

At the moment, we have no phone or internet service. Operations are still "a-ok" for the day, but if you need something, you will have to physically come to the school until we have the issue resolved.
