A tribute to Mr. Allan Rohrer, the first principal at TJHS, circa 1965. Eileen Mateer and fellow 5th grader Amber Achenbach correctly answered the trivia question from yesterday's 5th grade class meeting. Congratulations and we honor Mr. Rohrer who served this community from 1965-1992. Thank you for a legacy of excellence!
We are happy to be back outside for these beautiful days during recess...
Thankful at TJHS!
