c.e.o. wildcat renaissance
Tullahoma High School is experiencing a great second semester filled
with many student successes backed
by a hard-working, caring faculty.
We had 2 students place at the state
science fair and be invited to national competitions. Our FCCLA, Skills,
DECA, and FBLA programs all had
several students place at competitions
and are going on to the next level. In
addition, our THS Tree Hugger team
placed at the state Envirothon competition, and we had two students score a
perfect 36 on their ACT tests.
Our theater arts department is presenting its spring musical, Peter Pan,
with many talented students involved
and highlighted. Our band was
guests at the TEMA conference and
were recognized and performed as
our own Dr. Lawson was selected at
last year’s TEMA Director of Schools
of the year. In athletic news, our
wrestling team had several members
compete at the state level, our girls’
basketball team won the District title,
and boys’ soccer, baseball, and THS
track are currently in full swing.
We have also now successfully
completed our third full year as a
Renaissance school. Wildcat Renaissance, which is really more of a
concept than a program, focuses on
1) recognizing and rewarding students for meeting various achievement
goals in the areas of academics,
attendance, and behavior, 2) building
positive school culture and climate,
and 3) building connections within
the student body and with all school
stakeholders. With the varying criteria, every student in the school has
the opportunity to meet one or more
of the goals and be recognized.
Wildcat Renaissance operates under
a card system: Wildcat Card for all
A’s; Black Card for all A’s and B’s; Silver Card – improvement of quarterly
GPA by .5 pt or more from one nine
weeks to the next; and White Card
for no absences, no tardies, and no
office referrals for one nine weeks.
Each card has its own unique set of
school-wide incentives tied to it, and
they also privy students to classroom
level perks of each teacher’s choosing. Finally, Wildcat Renaissance
Card holders enjoy an exclusive list of
discounts on food, retail and services
with area business partners. Students
also have the opportunity to benefit
from cash drawing prizes at semester
Awards Ceremony and weekly drawings to feature Students of the Week.
For some students, this is recognition and a “pat on the back” for
already meeting one or more of the
cards’ criteria. For others, it serves as
incentive to improve in one or more
areas to receive the recognition and
rewards that Wildcat Renaissance has
to offer. “We want all students to have
a sense of community within their
school, a common bond, something
for everyone to belong to and be
excited about – Renaissance encompasses that and helps students connect
with each other and to their school
and community”, says Mrs. Duncan.
“We want all students to know we see
their efforts, we appreciate them, and
that, as a community, we care about
the successes, big or small, of every
student.”
We would like to say a very
big thank you to all our Chamber
CEO partners and the following businesses for continuing to support the
Renaissance program as Corporate
Sponsors: Housholder & Artman,
First Vision Bank, Southern Community Bank, Brindley & Sons Construction, Stan McNabb Auto Group, and
E.B. Thoma & Sons Insurance. There
are also many area businesses that
have offered exclusive discounts to
cardholders.
