TFME Announcement 

On Friday, February 15th sixty of our TFME students attended the 99th annual TMEA Convention held in San Antonio, Texas. Our students had the opportunity to attend several clinics, hear from guest speakers, walk the exhibit hall, attend concerts by some of the most prestigious programs in Texas as well as chat and receive information from over 130 colleges.

A successful day like this would not be possible without having awesome students who take pride in how they represent Hays High School and the Rebel Band. Thank you students for being kind and responsible individuals throughout the day! You rock!!

We would also like to extend our most sincere thanks to Chrystal Antosch-Bates and Kim Lalande for being such OUTSTANDING chaperones for our trip. You ladies were absolutely fantastic and we can not thank you enough for your wonderful energy and amazing chaperoning skills! 

Students - we will be releasing sign-ups this week for our TFME middle school mentorship program. Keep an eye out via remind and google classroom.
