COLLEGE OF MARIN HOSPITALITY CLASS

There is still time to join the Hospitality Management class!

It has been changed to a ‘late start’ class and will begin September 16, 2019

If you dream of owning your own business…

If you’d love to travel the world as a restaurant critic…….

If running a boutique hotel in the Caribbean, or even a Marriott in Anaheim…..

Are you the ultimate ‘foodie’ that will have the next four-star restaurant……

If you are a fabulous party planner that could be an event and convention planner……

If you just want to be mesmerized by the stories of a professor that travels the world to taste exotic cuisine, owns multiple restaurants in the US and has run a casino……

THIS IS THE CLASS FOR YOU!

Come to the TLHS counseling office ASAP, we’ll help you sign up for this fall semester class.

Do not miss amazing opportunity!

TUTORING
 

After School Tutoring in the Library is available Tuesday & Thursday from 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm.  If a student can’t make it after school on Tuesdays or Thursdays for math or needs help in a subject not offered, they can go to the library and talk to Melanie Tyrell.

Melanie will try to pair your student up with a tutor. We have wonderful community members that volunteer every year and we offer peer tutoring when possible. If you know a student who you think would be a great tutor, send them our way!
Students who do peer tutoring can get community service hours!
