Students had the chance to learn about careers in the aerospace industry & meet employers.

TMHS Culinary students got to make their pie 🥧 and eat it too!
Crust from scratch, blind baking, fluted edges, custard, whipped cream, knife skills and time management.
All add up to one yummy treat!
Thank you Chef Eddy for the glimpse into your culinary classes.

TPS Cafeteria personnel & Director Deb Mita are adding more homemade cooking recipes to the school lunch menus!
TY to our amazing lunch staff for going the extra mile to provide wonderful meals for Thompson students.
Homemade Sloppy Joes in fresh baked biscuit bowls were a hit.
TMHS Culinary students are rollin’ right into the curriculum diving deeper into doughs this week. They unwrapped some shiny new pasta equipment and promptly covered it and themselves in flour.
Students worked together to make pasta the old fashioned way!
Developing skills in the arts is an important graduation requirement.
Students in Mrs. Prouty’s art class at TMHS are immersed in learning new techniques from this amazing educator and artist.
Thompson must preserve these important classes.
