I am excited to begin the 2018-2019  school year at TL Hanna High School. I look forward to meeting each one of my students this year and assisting them in the learning process.  

Teaching your child is a tremendous responsibility and I will do my best to ensure that each student has a safe and motivating learning experience in this upcoming year. However I cannot do this without the help of you, the parents.  We are partners in the learning process.  

I believe that parent-teacher relationships are necessary for maximum school success.  Throughout the year I will communicate through my website, notes, telephone call, emails, report cards and parent teacher conferences.  I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions for concerns at any time.  You can call me at the school, send me a written note or contact me via email. 

If you choose to do so, I am including a REMIND APP instructions for each of you to recieve text regarding upcoming important assignments and dates:
