It's the final phase of our transition to create better learning opportunities and space for our students by moving Tarkington Early Childhood School (TECS) for Pre-K and Kindergarten to what was formerly the Intermediate campus, and Tarkington Elementary School (TES) for grades 1-5 to the Primary campus.
Great job, Longhorns!

📢 Exciting News! Introducing our new Tarkington High School Principal, John Clements! 🎉
Here's a message from Mr. Clements:
"I'm honored to be the new Principal at Tarkington High School for the 2023-2024 school year. With 31 years of experience in education, I'm still passionate about teaching and making a positive impact.
As Principal, my goal is to foster a welcoming and safe environment for our faculty, staff, students, and parents. I believe in maintaining a balanced approach, where academic, CTE, UIL, Fine Arts, Clubs, and Athletics all contribute to our students' holistic education and strengthen our community, state, and nation.
As educators, we hold the keys to preserving our Republic and Democracy. We must have the vision and courage to combat poverty and ignorance. Like the NASA team in 'Failure is not an Option,' we must work together, find solutions, and ensure our students' success.
I'm excited to collaborate with the administrative team, faculty, staff, and students at Tarkington High School. Let's embark on this journey together! 💪"

The Big Move has begun! We've entered the last phase of our transition to create better learning opportunities and space for our students. Tarkington Early Childhood School (TECS) for Pre-K and Kindergarten has moved to what was formerly the Intermediate campus, and Tarkington Elementary School (TES) for grades 1-5 will now be at what was the Primary campus. Dr. Davis and our central office staff and administrators, campus staff and administrators and faculty (and even their kids), as well as our athletics coaches and students, have all pitched in alongside our maintenance and custodial staff to make this move happen. It's not quite finished, but teamwork makes the dream work! Thanks, everyone! We see your hard work and we appreciate you!
