Students from Mrs Hubbartt's and Ms. Jett's 4th grade class have been busy making holiday placemats for Meals on Wheels!
Miss McCallister’s third grade class participated in a gingerbread house stem activity! They had to purchase their material and stay in budget. Then, their groups created a masterpiece that could fit their gingerbread man inside. Their house had to stand with gust winds via the hair dryer! We had three groups build a rock solid gingerbread house! Congratulations to The Christmas Elves, Peppermint Pals and Santa’s Little Helpers!
The 2nd floor teachers at THS feeling festive. Finishing off the first semester with some holiday fun!
Mark your calendars for the TMH Walking Challenge starting January 2nd. It's a great way to stay active and healthy after the holiday season!
"Finals are upon us, but the magic of the holidays is just around the corner! 🎄✨ We want to wish our high school students the best of luck on their final exams!
To our incredible high school students: Remember to pace yourselves, prioritize your well-being, and know that all your hard work will pay off. You've got this! 💪 We're rooting for you!"
We enjoyed a full day of Polar Express activities! We listened to the story, transformed our desks into a Polar Express train, answered comprehension questions, practiced alphabetical order, created a train through a math color-by-number activity, and ended the day with hot cocoa while watching The Polar Express movie.
Some of our festive dress up days so far at Memorial!

Welcome to TCUSD 3, Mr. Stile Smith. Mr. Smith will join the district as TJHS principal next fall.
I am originally from Centralia, IL and I graduated from Centralia High School in 2008. I completed my Bachelor of Science in English Education in 2012 from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from the University of Illinois-Springfield in 2024. I began my teaching career in 2012, and I spent my first 11 years at Taylorville High School as a high school ELA teacher. During my time in Taylorville, I also served as JV/7th grade boys basketball coach, JV softball coach, and student council advisor. Since 2023, I have served as the Junior High Assistant Principal and District Athletic Director in the Pana School District.
I have called Taylorville my home since beginning my teaching career in 2012. I met my wife, Whitney, a few months after moving here. We were married in July of 2014, and we now have four beautiful children: Hayva (8), Sawyer (6), Adalyn (3) and Hollyn (Born Oct. 18). While I'm not originally from Taylorville, it has become my home over the past 12 and a half years and I'm so thrilled to return to the district to lead an amazing junior high staff and student population.
Big crowd at today's FCA meeting! 91 students and 8 adults!
It's a Great Day to be a Tornado!

Ms. McChristy’s 5th grade scientists are having a blast exploring the magical world of Oobleck! What happens when you mix cornstarch and water? You get a gooey, squishy substance that’s solid when you touch it quickly, but liquid when you let it flow. The perfect mix of science, fun, and mess!
