Tahoma High School

The district’s new mobile-friendly levy facts website is now live.

It includes details about the levy, answers to questions taxpayers and community members have been asking, and provides a way to ask additional questions.

For future reference, the levy facts website is linked from the main district page in the second tab called “Levy Facts,” which is after the “Our District” tab.

On Wednesday, three Delta Airlines Aircraft Technicians visited and spoke to the Tahoma High School Automotive classes about technician careers in the Aviation Industry. Like all skilled trades, the aviation industry is facing a skilled labor shortage. Students learned the basics of jet engine operation, how aircraft brakes are similar and different from automotive brakes, and the purpose of using safety wire on bolts. Students also learned about the training path to a career in this industry, as well as the pay and benefits earned by aircraft technicians. The aircraft maintenance industry is a high-tech, in-demand career that provides a living wage and exceptional benefits.

The Tahoma High School Math Team earned top honors at the Washington State Mu Alpha Theta (MATH) competition at Thomas Jefferson High School on March 24 with 300 participants. Murou Wang, Leon Hong, James Goetz, Mallika Sansgiri, Laena Tieng, Noah Miller, and Emily Clark competed with the 17 of the top schools in the state. The team was recognized for placing in 8 areas of competition and taking home a well-deserved plaque for 7th place in overall sweepstakes as a school!

Top honors go to the up and coming Murou Wang, an eighth grader competing at a high school level, who has logged in a lot of person practice which helped her place 6th in Ciphering, 6th in Individual, 6th in Geometry and 8th on the Relay team. Others on the relay team were sophomores Sansgiri and Hong.
Math Team President Laena Tieng, a junior, trophied by placing 5th in Speed Math and 5th place in Matrices and Vectors.
Sophomores Hong and Goetz also both placed in the top 10! Hong (9th in Trigonometry and Polar Coordinates) and Goetz (6th in Speed Math) added a lot of points to the board, helping push Tahoma to getting to 7th place in the Sweepstakes as a team.
This year’s team has found that working hard in academics pays off in the long run! Their diligence and focus resulted in top honors. The THS math team participants contained both old and new faces, helping further solidify Tahoma Math Team’s continued success and well-earned results!
