Ram Families,

Welcome to Tinora High School!  As we gear up for the 2023-2024 school year, I feel honored to be returning to THS for my third year as your principal.  Our staff works diligently to provide each student with unique and profound learning experiences while communicating expectations clearly and respectfully.  Over the summer, we’ve added three new staff members.  Miss Taylor Harris will be teaching business and math classes, Mrs. Myra Frazer will be teaching Modern World History and Economics, and Miss Olivia Herko will be teaching English 10 and Journalism.  We are thrilled to have them join our Ram Family and are excited about what they bring to the classroom! 

Tinora High school has an enrollment of just under 400 students.  Students are afforded numerous academic opportunities, both on and off our campus.  Many choose to attend Four County Career Center as juniors and seniors, take CCP classes through Northwest State Community College or Defiance College, or enroll in a variety of AP courses.  Students can also participate in a multitude of elective courses and clubs including Ag, band, choir, German, Spanish, theater, student council, National Honor Society, Rambunctious Radicals, and FFA, among others.  

Our staff strives to provide students with opportunities to achieve present and future success.  Whether students choose to participate a little or a lot, we want them to feel a sense of pride as a Tinora High School student.

Please check out the links below to read about a recap of the 2022-2023 school year.  Our students were able to participate in many activities, volunteer in various ways, and achieve at high levels in academics, the arts, and athletics.

2022-2023 Year in Review

This year promises to be another exciting one! I look forward to a great year and the opportunity to work with you and your student!

Go Rams!
