Connect, CARE, and Create App

Connect, CARE, Create

We are excited to bring the TNHS App to you live on the App store. The App is designed to align directly to the three components of our House Team Model - Connect, Care, and Create. 

CONNECT - Through intentional planning we lay a foundation for deep relationships to develop between members of our community. Through these partnerships our students experience academic and social success.

CARE - We believe in choosing the common good over what benefits one. Our House Structure provides a sense of stability, structure, and a deep seated belonging for all students, LEADERs, and Parents at Thomas Nelson High School.

CREATE -  By asking the question “What do we want to create together” we redefine the traditional model of school culture, creating new opportunities for shared ownership, LEADERship, and service.

LIFT-OFF WEEK!

The General - July 2015 Want to Make a Difference?

Want to Make a Difference?
As we continue to pursue college, career, and citizenship readiness for all students we are recognize the powerful role that parents must play in that process. Beginning for the 2015-2016 school year we are establishing a "House Parent" Team that will develop a vision for partnerships based on the following principles. 

1. We are a local site of CARE - the notion that it takes a village is never more evident than in a school. We must all CARE for our community and our children. 
2. We all have GIFTS to offer - our school needs your gifts as a parent and community member. Our House LEADERs will partner with you to sustain community connections. 
3. Together We Can Change the World - our parents and our community has the resources, personal connections, and heart to change the world for the better. House parents help facilitate and communicate the process and opportunities to do so. 

Interested? - email Mr. Bradley at wes.bradley@nelson.kyschools.us
