GREETINGS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS,
In my 9 years of having the honor to serve as the TJHSAA President, and Chair of TJ's fundraising platform since 2016, North Texas Giving Day, the pride and excitement of seeing the trajectory of our Alma Mater transformed from one of the lowest rated to a B rated Comprehensive DallasISD High School overwhelms me with TJ PRIDE. TJHSAA is full of gratitude for your continued support which allows us to partner with TJ at the directive of Principal Jones to increase student achievement, and a commitment to improving educational outcomes for all students to achieve an A rating while fostering a positive, collaborative community. With the schools POSITIVE ACHIEVEMENTS, we still face day to day challenges to overcome but with our Alumni and Friends by our side we will keep the TJ STRONG momentum going!
