Achievements

According to the Class of 2015 TMHS Alumni Association applications, filled out each year by the graduating class, 88.5% of our graduating class will be attending college, post- secondary school, or have joined the military. Few public schools in Northeastern Connecticut can match these numbers. The New England Association of School and Colleges (NEASC) recently awarded Tourtellotte Memorial High School full accreditation. In doing so, the group commended TMHS for its innovative Communications Academy, the school’s positive, respectful, and supportive culture found in the school community, and the self-motivation of staff in pursuing ongoing professional training. The Mary R. Fisher Elementary School (MRFES) received full accreditation from NAEYC in 2015, with glowing commendations about the work accomplished at MRFES by the teachers, administration and parent-support groups.

It’s a Fact!

Children raised in poverty are much less likely to have their crucial needs met than their more affluent peers are and, as a result, are subject to some grave consequences. Deficits in these areas inhibit the production of new brain cells, after the path of maturation, and rework the healthy neural circuity in children’s brains, thereby undermining emotional and social development and predisposing them to emotional dysfunction and difficulty in school.

A Possible Long-Term Solution

Pre-School For All Early intervention is an attempt to address increased student needs associated with poverty. Research – A study at the University of Illinois states, “Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have quantified how much pre-school might negate the effects of the household chaos and disorganization so closely associated with poverty: at least 35 hours per week.”

Thompson preschool tuition: $300 per child. Revenue is turned over to the Town.

We really need a long-term approach to address student needs with improved curriculum materials, technology and Early Intervention. Through Early Intervention We Can Better Serve All Students.
